Sweden formally joined NATO on 7 March 2024 becoming its 32nd member two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The process of Sweden's accession to NATO faced delays, with Turkey and Hungary being the last countries to ratify Sweden's membership. This move marked the end of decades of neutrality for Sweden.
Sweden, which largely dismantled its ground forces after 1989 but has maintained a powerful air force and navy, will soon reach NATO’s goal of spending 2 percent of GDP on the military. Its sophisticated high-tech defence sector manufactures top-tier fighter aircraft, naval corvettes, and submarines tailored for the challenging Baltic Sea conditions. The country is also actively engaged in the creation and production of a new generation of advanced submarines and expanded corvettes.
