Sweden is rapidly transforming its military drone capabilities as the war in Ukraine reshapes the modern battlefield. At the newly opened Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Centre in Karlsborg, Swedish forces are training with a growing fleet of ISR, FPV, and strike-capable drones.

In this footage, the 31st Ranger Battalion demonstrates ISR drones spotting targets, FPV drones launching precision attacks, Drones dropping training munitions, and operators coordinating strikes before ground forces move in.

Major Michael Gunnerek, head of Sweden’s UAS Centre, says the country is “scaling up fast” to field drones based on lessons from Ukraine — shifting from a few large UAVs to dozens of drone types that can be deployed in large numbers.

Sweden continues to integrate ready-made systems while working with the Swedish Defence Material Administration on custom drones designed for national defense needs.

00:00What are you doing?
00:01Just when you see the camera and you see the red camera...
00:09The machine!
00:19What are they doing?
00:30Oh, no, he's gonna drop.
00:43Dropping two.
00:48Good hit, how did you strike?
00:50Good boys.
00:51We turned on.
00:52We have done a successful strike with two drones.
01:00Still have the ISR drone, looking for additional targets in and around that building.
01:04Try to locate those and see if we can do any more damage before we move in with the ground forces.
01:08Ready to launch.
01:23Launching.
01:36Explosives.
01:37Can't be.
01:38Got the unsuccessful strike.
01:39Good hit though.
01:40We're gonna go in and proceed with the second drone.
01:42Second drone.
01:43First drone coming in from behind.
01:57What we saw was like a reconnaissance or ISR drone going up and taking a fixed coordinate
02:05on some targets.
02:08Then they defeated these targets with FPV-tekniks.
02:12First person view.
02:14And also one drone going up to drop kinetics or grenades on these targets.
02:20And they're not going down too long.
02:21So they're gonna go down too long.
02:22No.
02:23They're going down too long.
02:24No.
02:25They're going down too long.
02:26Yeah.
02:27They're going down too long.
02:28Yeah.
02:29One hundred fifty meters.
02:30One hundred fifty meters.
02:31One hundred fifty meters.
02:33Okay.
02:34That's here.
02:35Okay so they're going down okay.
02:36But here in Karlsborg we've been pretty forward leaned so to say, so building this center
02:53here and as a starting point, that's good for the armed forces, but we need to scale
02:59up and we need to get this further kind of spread in the forces.
03:06I would say that we are on a developing stage pretty far, I think we have a lot of things
03:28like to building this capacity is on a well way, but how to put it, to get it fielded
03:37and to get it out of the units and to really build capacity with trained officers, trained
03:42units, operational kind of planning capacity to adapt to this new field of shaping the
03:50battlefield, there is a lot of stuff to do there.
03:57It's not easy to do, it's not easy to do, it's easy to do, it's easy to do.
