There was a program on Tv where one of our british tv presenters went to sweden to look at the Visby class corvettes and the swedish military, and i think im remembering right if he saud it was one of the most technologically advanced militaries in the world.

1. Your equipment is great. God knows I've bought a lot of it from the Haparanda surplus store which unfortunaly isn't there anymore. I've got a lot of clothes and boots which are just perfect for outdoor activities like fishing and hunting.

2. Your training is also good, and your Lappland is just as cold as ours.

3. There is however a thing we Finns we find absolutely ridiculous, and that's the fact that your guys can have hairnets in the army.

4. You're our beloved enemy. Nothing beats a Finland vs Sweden icehockey-match. Especially in the finals.

5. A Scan-skrovmål would be Gods choice of food.

BTW. Anybody from near Haparanda? Do you know is there a surplus-store near Haparanda? Possibly within a 50 kilometers?

yeah i agree,

They're the other Switzerland, they always stay neutral. They have some solid military hardware and a fantastic bikini team.

The World can count Sweden as a voice for neutrality and never taking sides in much of anything. Not sure it always a positive thing though.

The ship can be seen on radar though, even though it does limit the radar bouncing back to the radar unit which makes it hard to detect but not invisible

Nothing stealthy today is completely invisible, but its hard to detect and can sometimes make the operator see it as something else then it really is, because the radar signature is smaller then what it should be compared to the size

Alex I know what you mean but the orginal test vessel "Smyge" was beyond hard to spot on radar. "Been there tested it"

The Visby class is much bigger and it wasn't possible to get it real stealth mainly because of the size ~60 meter long. But the once that are looking for it must know that it is a "stealth" ship that they are looking after and adjust their radar after it.
