British warships heading to Baltic ‘chokepoint’
A Royal Navy task group is enroute to the Baltic region to participate in the most extensive Swedish military exercises in over 25 years.
The United Kingdom firmly advocates for Sweden’s integration into NATO and maintains close collaboration with the Swedish Armed Forces through the British-led Joint Expeditionary Force, which is structured to respond to events in Europe’s numerous critical waterways and chokepoints.

Royal Marines defend Sweden during mock invasion
A Royal Navy amphibious task force has arrived in Stockholm after defending Sweden’s complex coastline from a mock invasion.
Amphibious flagship, HMS Albion, led the Littoral Response Group (North) (LRG) into the Baltic Sea for Exercise Aurora – the largest Swedish national defence exercise in more than quarter of a century.
Royal Marines made quite the impression during three amphibious landings on the Nordic nation’s complex coastline, with Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson stating that he’d like the commandos in the country ‘next year and every year’.
