US bombers ‘first in history’ land in Sweden

Ulf Kristersson emphasized that NATO troops and equipment on Swedish territory will act as a deterrent for the Russian Federation.

US strategic bombers arrive in Sweden for the first time. They will hold joint military exercises here with a NATO candidate country, The Local reported on Wednesday, June 21.

It should be noted that Sweden announced in early June that it was ready to accept NATO troops and equipment on its territory even before it became a full member of the Alliance.

Two American B-1B Lancers landed at Luleå-Kallax Airport in northern Sweden on Monday, June 19, the military said.

The military said in a statement that “for the first time in modern history, American bombers have reached Sweden.”

Sweden, unlike Finland, which became a member of NATO in April, has not yet completed the accession process. The reason is that its application has not yet been ratified by Turkey and Hungary.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, when announcing the decision to accept NATO troops and equipment before the entry, said that their presence would serve as a deterrent against possible Russian actions from the Baltic Sea.

“This decision sends a clear signal to Russia and strengthens the defense of Sweden,” the head of the Swedish government stressed.

Recall that the head of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, James Risch, blocked the sale of arms to Hungary in the amount of $ 735 million as punishment for the country’s refusal to approve Sweden’s NATO membership.
