Key elements of the support package include the procurement of 18 new Archer artillery systems, with additional 155mm ammunition worth $327 million, bringing Ukraine’s total Archer inventory to 44 systems.
Jonson highlighted the effectiveness of the Archer systems during his recent visit to a Ukrainian unit that uses the artillery, confirming its success against Russian targets.
In addition to the Archer systems, Sweden will allocate $190 million for marine defense support, including mobile coastal radar systems, new marine support vessels equipped with grenade launchers, and unmanned systems. Notably, the 32 donated Combat Boat 90 will receive upgraded sensors, weapons systems, and radars to enhance its operational capacity.
The Swedish Armed Forces will also donate $12.7 million worth of equipment, including 500 motorcycles and airbase support machinery such as trucks and tractors.
Anti-aircraft systems are also part of the package, with Tridon Mk 2 systems receiving radar sensors and command systems, alongside more programmable 40mm anti-aircraft ammunition. Sweden is also contributing $68 million in financial donations to various capability coalitions.
Jonson emphasized that while some of the systems and projects remain classified, “the Russian army can expect Swedish-Ukrainian surprises going forward.”
Additional secret systems and projects are also included, but their introduction will have to be saved for the battlefield. The Russian army can expect Swedish-Ukrainian surprises going forward. Sweden will continue to put hard pressure on Russia until they stop this war. (6/6)

He reiterated Sweden’s commitment to applying “hard pressure” on Russia until the war ends.
Previously, Pål Jonson said that Europe has a narrow window to prepare for potential Russian aggression. While Russia remains “bogged down” in Ukraine, NATO must urgently strengthen its northeastern flank, Jonson told The Telegraph.
