Why not Sweden-Norway-Finland can make same Army-Navy-AirForce like having similar equipments and invest in these equipments.

The problem with having so much oil is that sometimes things go wrong.

Heimevernet driver oppryddning av olje på strendene rundt Langesund etter forliset av bulkskipet Full City.

Further military integration would require further political alignment on the part of Norway, Sweden and Finland (Denmark and Iceland should be included too) - specifically, Sweden and Finland would need to join NATO. There are joint cooperation defense agreements already in place:

Nordefco

Nordic battlegroup

The three do use some common equipment such as the RBS-15, Leopard 1 and 2 and CV90, but their own defense industries ensure they remain separate, similar to how the US and Japan - two really close allies, remain separate.

If the three nations are to become more integrated defensively, then either Sweden and Finland need to become part of NATO or Norway needs to leave it - the former is more likely thanks to Russia.

The political will to form an integrated military union just isn't strong enough right now.

When did this oil spill happen?.

The spill occurred in 2009, but the pictures, because they belong to the Forsvaret (Norwegian Armed Forces) took longer to be released - as in they've only just been released.

He asked to be banned about a month ago to spend less time here on PDF and more time with his family. His ban should end in about six months.
