Overview
- Sweden and Denmark announced a joint procurement of TRIDON Mk2 systems for Ukraine, with Sweden financing SEK 2.1 billion and Denmark adding SEK 480 million, an amount officials say equips an anti-aircraft battalion.
- The mobile systems, produced by BAE Systems Bofors, integrate Saab’s Giraffe 1X radar, upgraded command-and-control, and large stocks of programmable 3P ammunition on a Scania truck platform.
- Officials say the systems are designed to counter drones, cruise missiles, helicopters and strike aircraft, supporting both battlefield use and the protection of critical civilian infrastructure.
- Deliveries will start within 12 months, and Sweden said it can quickly order additional units if more countries join the co-financing model to scale production.
- Separately, Ukraine and Sweden are negotiating one of Kyiv’s largest assistance packages covering radars, electronic warfare, drones and deep-strike capabilities, with added PURL contributions, a proposed Brave‑Sweden innovation and manufacturing effort, and discussions on Gripen aircraft and Meteor missiles still under consideration.
