As reported by TASS with reference to the TV channel SVT, the task of the unit will be to protect the military base.
This is the most difficult operation Sweden has ever conducted as a NATO ally. The threat exists both from the ground and from the air, and as a NATO ally, we are participating in the operation, using the air defense system to defend against drones and missiles, Sophia Westermark, head of the air defense regiment, said.
The operation will begin on December 1 and can last up to seven months. The unit will guard the NATO logistics center to support Ukraine in the Polish city of Rzeszów. The Netherlands is now fulfilling this task.
