Negotiations start now.

Military to plan the investments.

Two new airbases (Flygflottiljer) and 5 new infantry regiments.

[Herby]

As F16 at Uppsala is already established but still without fighters one further Flygflottilj will stand up in the future.

Any suggestions?

Too bad that this is necessary but such a waste that they had so many bases which were closed due to naive politicians that didn’t take security too serious. Ostersund-Fröson, Ljungbyhed, Karlsborg, Angelholm, Norrkoping, Söderhamn and Uppsala to name a few that were disposed off from the 1990s. Hopefully they till own some of this property that they can restore.

Bring back a wing of Drakens at Angelholm & charge the spotters a Krone a shot & they'll break even in a year

Fabulous idea!

Östersund

[Herby]

I think possible could be this: F4 Östersund or F11 Nyköping or F6 Karlsborg.

But perhaps they also look for a base like Visby/Gotland to leave a Flygflottilj there.

I would say, most probably Östersund or Karlsborg.
Could be, like Herby is saying, Visby as something new.
Outsider would be Ängelholm in my opinion.
