Extra funding granted to the Swedish defense industry is not enough to replace everything that has been sent to Ukraine, Swedish broadcaster SVT reports, highlighting soaring prices in the sector.
Jonny Lindfors, commander of the Swedish army, admitted that the financial compensation allocated to the armed forces is not enough to replace every missing unit.
According to the media, it was initially assumed that the donated equipment would be quickly replaced with new units. However, the defense industry has since seen a serious price jump, even doubling in some cases. The commander acknowledged that this situation has led to weaker combat readiness in the country.
"It’s hard for us," Lindfors summarized.
According to Swedish media, the recently announced military package would be the largest one yet. In total, Stockholm has allocated $2.9 billion to fund the Kiev regime.
