«Schwedens Marine ist bereit, die freie Schifffahrt in der Ostsee zu verteidigen» – kommandiert wird sie von einer Frau

Der 500. Geburtstag der schwedischen Marine wird überschattet von der verschärften Sicherheitslage. Ihre Flotte habe die Situation aber im Griff, versichert Schwedens Marinechefin Ewa Skoog Haslum. Sorgen macht ihr die jahrzehntelange finanzielle Vernachlässigung der schwedischen Streitkräfte.

Schwedische und finnische Soldaten üben Zusammenarbeit während dem Nato-Manöver «Baltops 22» im vergangenen Juni.

Nach fast dreissig mageren Jahren stehen der schwedischen Armee bessere Zeiten bevor. Die Marinechefin Ewa Skoog Haslum freut sich auf zwei neue U-Boote, «phantastische Fahrzeuge», vollgepfropft mit Spitzentechnologie. Allerdings muss die 54-Jährige noch mindestens bis 2028 warten, bis der Verteidigungskonzern Saab die U-Boote liefert – zehn Jahre verspätet und doppelt so teuer wie vorgesehen.

Skoog Haslum, seit Anfang 2020 am Steuerrad der schwedischen Marine, trinkt Kaffee – ihre erste Tasse, obwohl es schon früher Nachmittag ist. Im Aufenthaltsraum der Marinestreitschule ist es angenehm kühl und ruhig; ein willkommener Kontrast zum Trubel draussen. Die Marine hat an diesem heissen Augusttag zum 500-Jahr-Jubiläum ins südschwedische Karlskrona eingeladen, den geplanten Tag der offenen Tür musste sie jedoch aus dem Programm streichen. Wegen der verschlechterten sicherheitspolitischen Lage ist Schwedens wichtigster Flottenstützpunkt tabu für Neugierige. Stattdessen müssen die Besucher unter gleissender Sonne von der Uferpromenade aus beobachten, wie Kampfübungen und Rettungsaktionen auf See ablaufen. Der Zwölf-Uhr-Schlag der nahe liegenden Kirchen geht im ohrenbetäubenden Getöse eines Gripen-Kampfjets unter, dessen Pilot das Publikum begeistert.

Bessere internationale kooperation.

Welche Auswirkungen hat die veränderte sicherheitspolitische Lage auf die Marine? «Das Bedrohungsbild ist dasselbe, hat sich mit Russlands Aggression und dem Krieg in der Ukraine aber verschärft. Unsere wichtigste Aufgabe ist es, die freie Schifffahrt in der Ostsee zu sichern», sagt Konteradmiral Skoog Haslum. Die Zahl der Militärübungen steigt bereits seit Jahren: «Wir üben mehr, komplexer und häufiger mit anderen Nationen als früher, und wir sind noch mehr auf der Hut.» Skoog Haslum versichert, dass die Marine rund um die Uhr präsent sei und selbst kleinste Verletzungen des schwedischen Meeresraums wahrnehmen würde. Mit 2700 Kilometern Küstenlinie überwachen ihre Verbände eine der längsten Meeresgrenzen Europas.

Doch nicht nur der aggressive Nachbar hat den Alltag radikal verändert. Auch die Pandemie war ein Augenöffner: «Wir haben geglaubt, dass ‹just in time› funktioniert – doch das tut es weder für das Militär noch für die Gesellschaft als Ganzes.» Habe man sich früher etwa darauf verlassen können, ein kaputtes Teil innert ein paar Monaten beim ausländischen Hersteller reparieren zu lassen, kaufe man heute besser zwei davon oder beschaffe Ersatzteile, sinniert Ewa Skoog Haslum. Doch dies kostet.

Und gerade Geld ist das grosse Problem der Streitkräfte. Überzeugt davon, dass auf den Kalten Krieg der ewige Frieden folge, kürzte Schweden das Militärbudget im neuen Millennium massiv. Die Streitkräfte wurden ab- und umgebaut, statt der Landesverteidigung standen internationale Friedenseinsätze im Zentrum. Erst Russlands Annektierung der Krim weckte Schweden aus dem Dornröschenschlaf – Aufrüstung wurde wieder ins politische Vokabular aufgenommen: 2015 sowie 2020 erhielten Armee, Luftwaffe und Flotte erstmals wieder mehr Mittel, nachdem das Budget zuvor auf fast ein Prozent des Bruttoinlandprodukts gekürzt worden war, so tief wie fast nirgends in Europa. Kürzlich haben Regierung und Parlament avisiert, dass schon 2023 eine Nato-kompatible Aufstockung auf zwei Prozent beschlossen werden könnte.

Dies ist zwar viel Geld. Doch die für klare Worte bekannte Marinechefin erinnert daran, dass Schweden sich auf einem sehr tiefen Niveau befinde: «Muss man eine Bruchbude renovieren, so kostet dies mehr, als wenn man sein Haus kontinuierlich unterhält.» Ihre Frustration bezüglich der unsteten Materialbeschaffungen wie auch der langsamen Entscheide ist kein Geheimnis. Dennoch hofft sie, dass die Marine bald ein weiteres U-Boot bestellen kann. Neben Kampfjets waren U-Boote im vergangenen Jahrhundert der grosse Stolz Schwedens und von dessen Verteidigungsindustrie. Neue Modelle kamen im Zehn-Jahres-Takt auf den Markt, wie ein eindrücklicher Saal des Marinemuseums Karlskrona zeigt. Doch 1996 war Schluss damit. Zwei der drei damals gelieferten U -Boote des Typs Gotland wurden seither aufgerüstet, ebenso wie die «Visby-Korvetten» – Kampfschiffe, deren Tarn-Eigenschaften international für Aufmerksamkeit sorgten.

Nato-Beitritt verändert wenig

Obwohl Korvetten wie U-Boote über zwanzig Jahre auf dem Buckel haben, ist die Marinechefin voll des Lobes über die nach wie vor moderne Technologie. Sie gibt allerdings zu, dass es etwas peinlich sei, wenn sie mit ihrer alten Flotte und der zahlenmässig bescheidenen Mannschaft die amerikanischen Kollegen treffe. Damit die Marine ihren Auftrag auch künftig ausführen könne, brauche es neue Fahrzeuge und mehr als die derzeit 3200 Männer und Frauen.

Ewa Skoog Haslum, die schon als 14-Jährige zur Marine wollte und nun seit 35 Jahren dort Dienst leistet, hofft, dass die Flotte mit Schwedens avisiertem Nato-Beitritt eine Aufwertung erhält. International sei die Marine bereits heute sehr respektiert, und «wir prahlen ja gerne damit, dass wir auf unserem Gebiet die Besten sind». Innerhalb der Nato könnten Schweden und Finnland, mit dem man sehr eng kooperiere, eine grosse Verantwortung für die Ostseeregion übernehmen. Für die Flotte, wie für Schwedens Streitkräfte überhaupt, werde ein Beitritt zum Nordatlantikpakt keinen grossen Schritt darstellen, sagt Skoog Haslum: «Wir üben sehr häufig mit der Nato, unsere Kommandosprache ist Englisch, auch unsere Verfahren und fast alle Reglemente sind auf Englisch geschrieben, und wenn wir Material bestellen, so ist es interoperabel mit der Nato.» Es sei daher eher merkwürdig, dass Schweden nicht längst Mitglied sei.

40 prozent frauen in der marineschule.

Was Ewa Skoog Haslum nervt, ist die Geschlechterfrage, die ihr Journalisten immer wieder stellen. So sorgte nicht erst ihre Beförderung zur ersten Chefin der Marine für Schlagzeilen. Schon als sie 2007 Kapitän eines schwedischen Kriegsschiffes wurde, das vor der Küste Libanons patrouillierte, wurde sie gefragt, wie es sich anfühle, Fahrzeugchefin im Auftrag der Uno zu sein. Oder wie sie als Mutter zweier kleiner Söhne fünf Monate auf See verbringen könne. Als ob dies für Väter kein Thema sei! Unter den diesjährigen Rekruten der Marinestreitschule seien 40 Prozent Frauen, sagt Skoog Haslum. Der Frauenanteil innerhalb der Streitkräfte werde mit der Zeit ganz natürlich steigen, aber bis dann verzerre ihre Generation die Statistik.

Die Zeit im Mittelmeer war für die Marinechefin äusserst lehrreich – im Gegensatz zu all den Übungen in der Ostsee, die den Krieg simulieren, herrschte auf ihrer Korvette der Ernstfall. Die Gefahr, vom Hizbullah beschossen zu werden, war äusserst real. In solchen Situationen müsse man rasch und einsam Entscheide treffen. Und man lerne, zu delegieren und sich auf seine Mannschaft zu verlassen.

Das Leben auf See vermisse sie, noch mehr aber die Besuche beim Personal sowie direkte Kontakte zu andern Marinechefs, die pandemiebedingt zu kurz kamen. Inzwischen ist das Reisen wieder in Gang gekommen. Eine etwas andere Mission erfüllte die Marinechefin Ende Mai, als zwei Schulschiffe nach Lübeck segelten . Dort hatte der spätere schwedische König Gustav Wasa vor 500 Jahren zehn Kriegsschiffe abgeholt, um das vom dänischen König eroberte Stockholm zu befreien. Ob Wasa die Fahrzeuge kaufte, geliehen bekam oder sogar stahl, lag über Jahrhunderte im Dunkeln. Ewa Skoog Haslum überreichte der Hansestadt deshalb eine symbolische Münze, um die eventuellen Schulden aus dem Jahr 1522 zu begleichen.

In den Anfangsjahren lag Schwedens Flotte vor Stockholm, wo sie winters oft festfror – derweil Dänemarks Kriegsschiffe vom eisfreien Kopenhagen her in schwedische Gewässer eindrangen. Um dem Feind nicht freie Hand zu lassen, verlegte König Karl XI. seine Schiffe 1679 auf eine Insel im Süden, die meeresseitig durch eine dichte Schärenlandschaft geschützt war. Karlskrona war geboren, und die Stadt soll auch in Zukunft eine zentrale Rolle für die Marine spielen. Nur einen Sprung von der Marinestreitschule entfernt liegt die traditionelle Karlskrona-Werft. Vor kurzem war sie noch dem Untergang geweiht und Objekt eines diplomatischen «U-Boot-Krieges» zwischen Schweden und Deutschland , heute nehmen hinter meterhohen Mauern und unter grösster Geheimhaltung die neuen U-Boote Gestalt an.

Der Nato-Beitritt von Finnland und Schweden ist noch lange nicht in trockenen Tüchern

Von der sommerfrische zum militärstrategischen brennpunkt – drei grosse ostseeinseln erhalten eine bereits überwunden geglaubte rolle zurück, schwedens vergebliche u-boot-jagd – und was davon bleibt, mehr von ingrid meissl årebo (inm), auf gotland ist der perfekte rasen hässlich und braun, endstation für russische touristen: estland schliesst die grenze, der bundesrat lässt sich mit dem energiesparen zeit, sie sind hochmotiviert, vielseitig und im ernstfall innert stunden einsatzbereit: schwedens freiwilligenarmee erlebt dank putin einen boom, ob könig, bundesrat oder schreiner – am wasalauf sind alle gleich, mehr zum thema schweden, schweden wollte den koranverbrenner salwan momika in sein heimatland irak abschieben. es kam anders, nato-beitritt von schweden: schweden ist jetzt offizielles mitglied des verteidigungsbündnisses, mit schwedens beitritt wird die nato grösser – doch welchen beitrag leistet das skandinavische land, gewinnt die nato nach schwedens beitritt die alleinige kontrolle über die ostsee es ist kompliziert – eine analyse in karten, wiedereinführung der wehrpflicht boris pistorius nimmt anschauungsunterricht in skandinavien, nach langem zögern: ungarn stimmt schwedens nato-beitritt zu, kostenlose onlinespiele, kreuzworträtsel, bubble shooter, power of two.

From its beautiful waterfront position on Sweden’s southeast coast, the modern capital of Stockholm is truly resplendent. Spread across 14 different islands and criss-crossed by over 50 bridges, Stockholm is one of the world’s most alluring cityscapes.

Occupying a glittering expanse where the Baltic meets the appealing Lake Mälaren, Stockholm is a historical city turned design-mad. Recently experiencing a second youth, the streets of Stockholm are rampant with a confident population that pack the city’s many outdoor cafés, funky bars, and open-air spaces.

The city’s port is located in the heart of the city, surrounded by a myriad of intriguing cultural sights, inviting stores and historical landmarks. Stockholm is home to an impressive 70 museums including the unique open-air Skansen and the cutting-edge Nobel.

Islands Approaching this remarkable city by yacht blesses lucky travellers with the opportunity to sail through one of the most amazing natural scenes in the world; the spectacular archipelago of over 24,000 tiny islands. The small inhabited ones glitter with tiny red or yellow houses that look like the cottages of fairytales, while the larger islands like Sandhamm and Finnhamm are brushed with traditional restaurants and inns.

Gamla Stan (Old Town) The medieval quarter of Gamla Stan (Old Town) sits comfortably nearby the trendy harbour brimming with brilliant facilities, fabulous hotels, and charming cafés. A historic marvel, it is easy to while away an afternoon wandering the cobblestone alleys and atmospheric restaurants of this lovely area.

Stockholm is famous for its intricate and exquisite crystal designs, but also boasts attractive stores over-flowing with trendy fashions and local handicrafts.

Östermalm Northeast of the Old Town is the opulent neighbourhood of Östermalm where the city’s most tantalising shops, elegant streets and spectacular homes can be found. Not to be missed is the covered market of culinary delicacies at the Saluhall, a remarkable spread of truly sumptuous treats.

For fashionable upscale nightlife, head to Birger Jarlsgatan, Stureplan and the city end of Kungsträdgården where the glamorous bars and clubs attracts a glossy clientele.
