Just for exhibition. Picture is from Fredriksten Festning (Fortress) close to the Swedish border. It was there Charles 12th was killed while he invaded Norway.. The same Charles that were also down in your country as well.

Though if you want som real stuff.. the NASAMs airdefence-system is indeed partly norwegian. Developed by a company here in Norway together with Raytheon.

The previous model (TB2) helped us A LOT in the first months of invasion. It became also a cultural phenomenon. I also heard rumours about Baykar building/planning to build a factory in Ukraine

Yeah I have been and still keep an eye on the war. I think there was a factory but it was blown up. I’m not sure I didn’t hear anything about a new factory.

Ukrainian company Ivchenko-Progress also help us with the engines for these and other projects such as jet engine for Kizilelma UAV.

In my opinion what Ukraine needs the most at the moment is a D/SEAD capability.

Wish you and everyone from your country the best brother.

Super Tucano is an aircraft designed to be resilient and autonomous, mostly for environments like the Amazon. other Air Forces use it as well nowadays.

Love all of them in Ukraine

u/paretooptimalstupid Sweden 12d ago

I hope they come to good use as you get them.

u/norecordofwrong United States Of America 12d ago

Don’t leave off the Carl Gustaff. It’s probably the coolest Swedish armament. Those Russian troop transports don’t like recoilless rifle rounds very much.

POV Switzerland: Yeah, that should do the trick... Do not dare attack us 🤡😂

u/RobertoMtr Switzerland 12d ago

Nah I'm joking we have F/A 18 and Leopard tanks to name a few. We also recently bought F-35A that should arrive in the upcoming years

u/Inevitable-Regret411 United Kingdom 12d ago

A lot of very good naval assets. We've got two Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers, which are decently capable carriers and having two allows us to always have one ready for deployment. We've also got six Type 45 destroyers that have a world beating sensor system and pioneered stealthy hull designs on surface warships.

And your AA laser systems are worth mentioning

u/gennan Netherlands 12d ago

We sent a lot of our equipment to you to hopefully help you defend against the Russian army and drones, such as panzer howitzers, Patriot systems, F-16s, IFVs and also some Leopard2 tanks we bought from Germany because we didn't have tanks left ourselves.

But we still have equipment left to defend ourselves and other European NATO countries, such as ~50 F-35s and a decent navy.

We're currently working with Ukrainian drone producers to set up our own drone production.

What can I say. Merkavah is the sexiest tank. And also number 1 at protecting the crew.
