    Sweden has really sophisticated weapons systems. My dad works in developing JAS-39 maintenance systems mainly.

    He usually calls his US and Brittish counterparts dogmatically attached to the Pentagon and taking orders from above. He says it makes them slow, clumsy and dogmatically attached to budgets.

    Swedish military scientists are really flexible with no burocracy and central leadership. He really likes the Canadian scientists though.

    As he said,you would conquer us,but gather heavy losses doing so,as we have some technologic advances.

    altough,if sweden could stand up with an army consisting of 1.5 million soldiers,as the usa one,we could very well fight back.

  21. The 2000 deploys in …
    The 2000 deploys in about 15-20 seconds, that is what it does better…
    The ARCHER fires faster, it travels faster, it can travel further than the 2000, it weights less (which is good when crossing bridges), it consumes less fuel, it is fully automated (which the 200 is not, but almoast) and it fires longer than the 2000, and it can fire it’s guided ammo, something that the 2000 does not have.
