JAKARTA - The latest NATO member, Sweden, will test the technology of a new drone gang developed by the Saab defense equipment group and the Nordic country's armed forces.

Defense Minister Pal Jonson said soldiers would test the technology developed over the past year, during future Arctic exercises.

"We need to take a number of risks to build stronger defense capabilities, faster than usual," he said.

Jonson said this technology allows drones of different sizes to form and then complete tasks independently.

"With this drone flock, it is possible to carry out reconnaissance, position determination, and identification," he added.

Sweden joined the NATO Western defense alliance in March 2024 as a result of Russia's war in Ukraine and plans to increase defense spending to 2.6 percent of GDP by 2028, compared to 2.2 percent by 2024.
