The Scandinavian navies can look back on a long history. Due to the confrontation with Russia, their importance in the North and Baltic Seas is growing again.
The Scandinavian states of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland are traditionally closely linked. They are represented in the Nordic Council and in the Nordic Defence Cooperation Nordefco for cultural and political cooperation. The aim of this is to coordinate joint defence projects in the areas of procurement, logistics, training and defence planning.
Norway, Denmark and Iceland, which do not have their own armed forces, are members of NATO, while the neutral states of Sweden and Finland have joined the EU and the NATO Partnership for Peace (PfP) programme and therefore cooperate very closely with NATO as partners. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, there has been a growing number of voices in Sweden and especially in Finland in favour of joining NATO.
