There's so much money to be made in refitting both countries from Russian/Chinese/Israeli/etc to NATO standard equipment and doctrine. Even without Sweden + Finland this is going to be a stellar decade for US and UK contractors, but two fresh conversions would be a cherry on top.
1501 is so funny. The Swedes will keep making their own planes and warships. So WTF are you saying? Other than a drive by hit to hopefully score big political points.
NATO going for quantity over quality
Model: Archer
Type: Self-propelled howitzer
Origin: Sweden
"Truck-mounted 155 mm gun-howitzer built using the older FH77 in their production."
Oooooh, Oooooooh, I bet the Swedish howitzer cannot use ammo meant for an American 155 mm howitzer.
Nope! Wowsers I bet the Swedes have to stop using those Archers ASAP.

Swedes are not dead weight.
Scratch that. The liberal ones are.
Note: try civility
Lol...Sweden is an Amazingly capable military and Russia still remembers what Finland is capable of
Dead weight?, Sweden is an amazing military with some of the best indigenous weaponry available

You can teach an old FSB dog new tricks.
