Sweden has now announced its largest military aid package for Ukraine, amounting to 13.5 billion Swedish kronor (approximately $1.2 billion). This package includes both the transfer of ready-to-use weapons and investments in new armament production, including manufacturing in Ukraine under the Danish model. With this latest package—the 18th in total—Sweden's total assistance has reached approximately 62 billion Swedish kronor ($5.6 billion).
Nearly half of the new package’s funds—5.9 billion Swedish kronor ($534 million)—will be allocated to producing new weapons. According to Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson, these will include the most urgent items requested by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with rapid delivery timelines.

An additional 2.8 billion Swedish kronor ($250 million) will fund various defense programs and initiatives, including 1 billion Swedish kronor ($90.8 million) for the Ukrainian production of long-range missiles and drones.
The package also includes 3.3 billion Swedish kronor ($300 million) worth of already available weaponry. With these funds, Ukraine will receive:
- 146 trucks
- 16 CB 90 fast assault boats
- 23 naval combat modules
- 1,500 TOW anti-tank missiles
- 200 AT-4 grenade launchers
- 1 million rounds of 12.7mm machine gun ammunition
- Infantry weapons, ammunition, and other military equipment
Additionally, 930 million Swedish kronor ($75.3 million) will support training Ukrainian soldiers under the Interflex program, along with military education and research projects. Another 400 million Swedish kronor ($36.3 million) will go toward maintaining previously supplied weapons.
Notably, before this aid package was announced, Sweden and Ukraine held high-level defense meetings. As a result, Sweden confirmed the launch of joint projects in air defense systems, long-range strike capabilities, and ammunition production.
