Sweden Sends Warships to Reinforce NATO Baltic Presence
In response to heightened security concerns in the Baltic Sea, Sweden will contribute naval assets to a NATO operation focused on protecting underwater infrastructure. This contribution includes up to three warships, an ASC 890 surveillance aircraft, and four coast guard vessels, with additional support on standby. This marks Sweden’s first contribution of armed forces to NATO since joining the alliance in March. The deployment follows a series of incidents involving damaged undersea cables and pipelines in the region.
