Russia has advanced in terms of the pace of military production compared to NATO countries. It will take another year or two to catch up with the aggressor, he said in an interview Bloomberg Swedish Minister of Defense Paul Jonson.
"Russia got back on its feet faster than the Euro-Atlantic community. I expect we will catch up, but I think it will take a year or two before we see the full effect." Jonson said.
He expressed concern that Russia could advance even further in a short period of time and pose a military threat to the entire alliance. In this vein, the delivery of weapons to Ukraine is an urgent task, the Swedish minister believes.
According to Jönsson, the Swedish government plans to triple the production of artillery ammunition over the next few years.
“There is a heightened awareness of the challenge and a heightened sense of urgency. However, I expect the scaling effect to be larger in 2025 and 2026.” - said the Minister of Defense.
