Sweden is expanding Archer artillery deliveries to Ukraine through 2026, and in this video I explain why this isn’t a symbolic donation but a sustained, industrial pipeline that’s reshaping counter-battery warfare. Archer has moved from “interesting system” to massed capability, and Russia is already feeling the effects.

I break down how many Archers are already in Ukrainian service, why the additional 18 new-build systems matter, and how pairing Archer with Arthur radar compresses the kill chain to seconds instead of minutes. This is shoot-and-scoot warfare done right, backed by contracts, production lines, and long-term planning rather than headlines.

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes. Crimea is Ukraine.

Tldr: Sweden’s commitment to supply Ukraine with 18 new Archer artillery systems by 2026 is a significant development in the ongoing Ukraine war. This advanced military technology, specifically the Archer howitzer, is a wheeled self propelled howitzer that will quietly reshape the battlefield. The impact of these systems on the artillery battle will be substantial, and this news highlights the continuous evolution of military aid.

War ultimately is decided by the capacities established by heavy industry, the Volvo A30 is a perfect example of that.

To save time and money the engineers at Bofors looked around at what was available on the civilian market. And there they found Volvo’s articulated hauler A30D. “Why should we reinvent the wheel?”, Jan Nee, a project leader at the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), remarks. The Volvo hauler soon showed itself to be a perfect artillery platform. The path to a near ready self-propelling howitzer still took more than ten years to tread, however, with many re-starts and changes of direction.
