Sweden has been asked by Finland to support with an in-depth situational picture of the damage to the critical underwater infrastructure in the Gulf of Finland. The submarine rescue vessel HMS Belos has therefore been assigned to assist.
Sweden has the ability, the will and the opportunity to contribute with the skills in demand, and it is therefore obvious that we stand up. These types of challenges are best handled together, says Chief of the Navy Johan Norlén.
Sweden and Finland have had close cooperation in the field of defense for many years, which was further strengthened when both countries became members of NATO.
