      I would take “not ready for Russia” over the current “wouldn’t probably inconvenience themselves over a regional conflict”. From what we’ve seen from Spain for instance is total lack of commit to drop Russian petro or give even a tenth of what Finland/Denmark/Estonia give per capita.

      If Finland is ready – then Sweden doesn’t need to be.. 😉

      Nah, we’re not ready. We lack missile artillery (HIMARS just ordered though) and UAV interceptors.

      I would question the civil society preparedness for hybrid attacks as well.

      We are also lacking a few brigades, though they are being planned for, and I believe NATO commented on the state of the Iron Ore Line (annual derailings, single track..).

      I would say “not ready for russia” but also “russia is not ready for finland”.

      No one is ready for no matter how much saber rattling they may do, there is ALWAYS logistical problems in war, there are always set backs, there are always outplays.

      As Moltke put it in 1870s, No battle plan survives the first contact with the enemy… which honestly could be attributed alot of things in life as well.

      It seems we are not as ready as we think/thought we are, we probably were ready for pre-Ukraine/drone warfare, but we are probably much less ready now. Our civilian shelters have been neglected, we probably lack drone interceptors and operators, COVID showed the state of our reserve stockpiles. I do hope the government is acting, because this is not the winter or continuation war, those damn cheap shahed drones need to be addressed.
