Sweden to extend Patriot deployment in Poland through spring 2027, plans broader NATO ground commitments in Finland and Latvia

Sweden intends to keep its Patriot air-defence systems in Poland until at least spring 2027, according to Defence Minister Pål Jonson. Stockholm is also preparing broader military commitments to NATO's eastern flank, including ground deployments in Finland and Latvia and maritime and air operations. Jonson stated Russia remains Sweden's most serious security threat.
