Hey all!
Today the Swedish government decided to send a second batch of 5000 units of Pansarskott 86 or Bofors AT-4 which is an ”aim-shoot-throw-away” short range anti tank weapon built by Saab Bofors Dynamics. Sold to many countries including the U.S.
I’ve seen photos and film of the end result when used in Ukraine and the shooters were smiling.
Easy to use and fairly effective if not perfect to destroy heavy armoured Russian tanks.
We’ve also sent body armour, field ransions and other equipment and will also send mine detecting/clearing equipmemt in this second batch.
The first batch was against the existing laws stating that Sweden can not sell arms to any parties engaged in war. Took the government only a few days to switch foot and this was the first time Sweden sends arms to a country in war, since the Finnish Winter War in 1939.
At least openly!
