Sweden Fights for Peace Building Nuclear Subs and Developing Stealth Technologies

Now Sweden is obviously trying to oust Russia as the second weapons exporter after the US in terms of volume. In near future it intends to seize the niche of the market of the former USSR republics, including Georgia. This will help Sweden to gain profits from South Ossetia war, because Georgian Army was defeated with Russian weapons.

Swedes and other foreign weapons manufacturers intend to stress the creation of systems that would allow Georgians and other countries that may have military conflicts with Russia to fight against Russia successfully.

And it is not that Sweden has Russia as one of the main competitors striving for influence in the Baltic region. No, the Swedes have a long standing tradition of neutrality and selling arms to everyone who needs them.

A good example is World War II, when they were selling iron ore to Nazi Germany. It was primarily used for the military industry. At the same time, they supplied arms to the countries of Anti-Hitler coalition. Now Sweden is trying to preserve the same role and gain maximum profit from conflicts without interfering directly.
