Sweden needs long-range cruise missiles to strike deep inside countries it views as a threat, such as Russia, according to a Swedish Armed Forces report released on Nov. 25, reported RT on Nov. 25: “The document calls for investment in strike capabilities able to reach targets at a ‘strategic depth’ of roughly 2,000 km. The straight-line distance between Moscow and Stockholm is just over 1,400 km.”
They continue: “In an interview to Reuters on Tuesday [Nov. 25], Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonson said that the country must ‘build a stronger deterrent’ to Russia’s growing long-range capabilities. Last month, he warned that people living in European NATO states should prepare for a possible war with Russia.”
