Sweden conducts military exercise with "mass funeral" simulation of victims

Euronews Portugal1 September 2026 at 17:19

Sweden conducted a military exercise that includes the simulation of a "mass funeral" of victims, in an extreme demonstration of preparation for defense scenarios.

The exercise involved the use of real body bags, with a priest administering last rites to fictional soldiers, creating a realistic scenario of combat casualties.

Swedish military personnel were also subjected to endurance tests in cold chambers, assessing their survival capacity in extreme cold conditions.

This exercise demonstrates the extent to which Sweden is willing to go to prepare its national defense, using particularly realistic and intense scenarios.
