Sorry USAF, a swarm of JAS 39s will take out a Raptor:

And stealth subs like this could take out a city like St. Petersburg within minutes:

Some time ago, Sweden crushed Catholicism under Gustavus Adolphus.

Therefore, you don't bow down to Rome today.

Sweden hasn't been in a war for 200 years.

200 years is far too long. It simply doesn't make sense - and sending troops to Afghanistan is just the beginning..

The Russians and later on Stalin failed to gain access to the Seven Seas thanks to Sweden and Finland - and the Talibans will fail to gain access to Afghanistan because of us.

Sweden would have trouble taking out Lichtenstein

Yes, only after the Raptor has run out of missiles and then (foolishly) decided to move in and use its cannon instead of supercruising out of the area. However, barring a silly Raptor pilot trying to get into a gunfight with the Gripens, there is nothing that they would do to a Raptor apart from 4-6 Gripens getting shot down, and then the rest communicating on their Link16 asking what happened as the Raptor supercruises at high altitude out of the area once it runs out of missiles.

And stealth subs like this could take out a city like St. Petersburg within minutes:

Oh, I guess Sweden now possesses nuclear weapons. Oh, it doesn't? Then exactly how will those D-E submarines take out a city? All they would do is damage some buildings. Also, how would Stockholm withstand a nuclear barrage? As someone asked you on another of your 'Sweden wins' threads, unless Stockholm has Asgard magic creating forcefields, Sweden is simply not strong enough to muck about with any country. That statement is as silly as someone saying that a French Scorpene or Russian Lada could chug about to Swedish waters and, armed with nothing but conventional weapons, 'take out a city like Stockholm.'

Sweden hasn't been in a war for 200 years. 200 years is far too long. It simply doesn't make sense - and sending troops to Afghanistan is just the beginning..

So, your response is to 'attack Russia' because Sweden has not been at war for 200 years. Hmmm, Sweden and whose army, because for a fact it would be the US and the stronger NATO countries fighting and not Sweden. Similar to your other thread that went something like 'what would happen if Russia nuked Paris, London and Stockholm' where you gave a nice tale of a totally powerful reaction. Well, in such a case it would be the French and the British launching nuclear counter-attacks against Russian cities (with the US joining in), while all Sweden would be doing is counting how many survivors they have.

The Swedes are a great people, and Sweden is a great country, but many of your threads are simply fantasies. A 'swarm' of Gripens will only take out a Raptor if the pilot messes up, and no D-E submarine can ever take out a city (apart from Israeli disel-electrics that they got from Germany that, allegedly, have nuclear-tipped cruise missiles on board, as well as Russian D-E submarines where some can carry nuclear cruise missiles as well).

JAS 39 radar cross section: Buzzard.
Raptor rdar cross section: .177 pellet.

Subs that don’t have anything bigger than a conventional weapon cannot by nature ‘take out’ St. Petersburg.

200 years?
Funny, wasn’t World War 2 a little over sixty years ago?

Sweden was under German influence during WW2 by the way.
Might want to brush up on your history some.

“The Russians and later on Stalin failed to gain access to the Seven Seas thanks to Sweden and Finland - and the Talibans will fail to gain access to Afghanistan because of us.”

1. Have you guys actually won a war against Russians like.. EVER?
2. Finns gave Soviets hard time- but lost eventually. And again one year later Finns attacked Soviets- and lost again.
3. If your name is SVEN and your kids names are MUHAMMAD and FATIMA that means that sending Swedish troops to Afghanistan is just silly waste of money.
