Building a Standing Training Ecosystem for NORDEFCO | Ken-Tore Saade Eriksen Over the past month, I have published a four-part series on Nordic and NORDEFCO synthetic training — moving from strategic framing to concrete architecture. It started with the broad question of whet...

Four articles. One argument: NORDEFCO's standing training ecosystem can be built within 2–3 years. The components exist. The budgets are there. What's missing is the decision.

Nordic live instrumented training is fully interoperable, all Nordic nations run Saab GAMER. Norway's P5066 project could protect it or fracture it .

Building a Standing Training Ecosystem for NORDEFCO A standing training ecosystem for NORDEFCO forces is achievable in two to three years. The architecture exists. What is missing is the political decision.

Nordic defence training is episodic — brilliant for two or three weeks per exercise, then dismantled. That is not a training system.

The case for a standing NORDEFCO LVC architecture — and why now is the moment:

The Nordics are buying the best simulation technology available. But buying components is not building a system.

Who actually owns the architecture?

The Nordics are investing heavily in defence modernisation and training technology. That does not translate to synthetic training ecosystems.

That takes architecture.

Future Medium-size Tactical Cargo (FMTC) | PESCO

& will (re)use much of the same tech from the A400M. The prototype should fly in early 2030s. So it fits the timeline,
for replacing the Hercs.
Denmark, Norway & Finland should join the PESCO project as observers.

This says DK govs aim is 6 normal frigates and up to 1,2bn€ pr hull.
Making it possible to squeeze in the FDI for both ASW & air-defence missions, with some upgrades & co-buy with Norway, to cover the out-of-action air-defence class, Ivar Huitfelt.

A 4500t FDI could also fit Sweden's Lulå-project and give them the capability faster.

Om feks 🇸🇪 skulle gi mindre til Ukraina fordi vi gir mer, så er det fordi 🇸🇪 ønsker å styrke sitt eget forsvar.

Svensk, dansk og finsk militært forsvar er nå blitt norsk forsvar.

Nordic Defence Cooperation: a response to geopolitical uncertainty The Nordic defence alliance has entered a transformative phase with the implementation of Vision 2030, marking a significant step in European and regional military cooperation. Since its signing in April last year, the Nordic Defence Cooperation (NORDEFCO) has been advancing its strategic objectives, focusing on operational readiness and joint military capabilities. Strengthening NATO’s defence and deterrence…

Nordic Defence Ministers strengthen military cooperation under Vision 2030, reinforcing NATO’s defence and supporting Ukraine.

Nordic Countries Unite Against Russian "Threat" The defense ministers of Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway signed Vision 2030, a steering document on Nordic defence cooperation going forward.

They have @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social prepare themselfes to that problem, if the #Trump administration dont know the facts is better to inform themselves of that!!!
