Sweden engages volunteer army after 43 years

In the East and Baltic states in recent years, there has been a growing fear of Russian aggression.

These countries have conducted a number of extensive training while also preparing war shelters.

And so, NATO has conducted exercises and increased its presence in Baltic countries as well as Poland.

Sweden has recently taken a move that has not taken place for 43 years. The entire volunteer army of this country has been summoned to the training.

A total of 22 thousand volunteer soldiers have responded to the exercise to test readiness.

This did not happen for 43 years, exactly since 1975.
