BODOE, Norway/LULEA, Sweden (Reuters) - Swedish armed forces joined NATO for exercises on Monday, contributing troops, helicopters and fighter jets as the alliance carries out its largest set of military drills since the end of the Cold War.
Sweden is poised to join NATO, possibly within days, after gaining the final outstanding ratification last week.
