Sweden is undertaking its biggest military exercise in more than 20 years with support from NATO countries.

It comes as Russian forces begin their largest military maneouvres since 2013, assembling troops, military aircraft and combat helicopters in Belarus in an exercise called “Zapad” meaning “West”.

Sweden is not a member of NATO but the exercise, called “Aurora”, involves 19,000 troops and will simulate an attack from the east on the Baltic island of Gotland, near the Swedish mainland. Around 1,500 of the military personnel are from the United States, France, Norway and other NATO allies.

Well, this should raise the stakes in the baltics. There is always a fear of unintended consequences
