According to reports, Sweden will send three ships and a reconnaissance aircraft of its fleet to participate in NATO's patrol operation. The main task of the mission will be to monitor critical underwater infrastructure.
'These military vessels are being placed under NATO command and will be used to enhance the maritime situation in the Baltic Sea.
