23 may 2024 “You’ve got a strategic dilemma for Russia in the notion that the Baltic is now NATO’s lake”.
Maj Gen Chip Chapman tells #timesradio that the notion “Russia would do any overt action on Gotland” is “farcical”. But it is "credible" that they might take “hybrid action in the region” including “territorial encroachment in Finland.

2 march 2024
The Swedish island of Gotland hosted defense drills as part of BALTOPS, an annual United States-led maritime exercise.
As Gotland is vital to securing the Baltic Sea, Swedish troops practice rapidly reinforcing the island during the Baltic Operations (BALTOPS), a US-led maritime exercise.
Situated roughly 100 kilometers off the Swedish coast, Gotland has a commanding view of the Baltic Sea, which makes it strategically vital terrain for the Swedish Armed Forces.
As part of BALTOPS, Swedish soldiers practiced the rapid reinforcement and defense of the island against a simulated enemy, played this year by the United States Marine Corps 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (22nd MEU). Sweden is hosting this year’s exercise, which coincides with the 500th anniversary of the Swedish Navy.
BALTOPS involves forces from 16 countries, with over 45 ships, more than 75 aircraft, and 7,500 personnel participating.
The exercise is led by the US Navy’s Sixth Fleet, headquartered in Italy, with Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO (STRIKFORNATO), based in Portugal, implementing command and control of the exercise.
