5:10His frontline map explains how taking Komar could help Ukrainian forces flank Velyka Novosilka.
8:08He contrasts Russian territorial claims with independent battlefield assessments, arguing that they differ substantially.

Sweden's response to an attack would extend beyond defending its own territory to striking targets inside Russia, former intelligence officer Philip Ingram says in The Sun's Battle Plans Exposed.

His explanation centres on the Saab Gripen fighter and a practical question: how can an air force keep operating after its airbases come under missile attack? Ingram describes Sweden's system of dispersing aircraft to reinforced public roads, allowing jets to operate away from conventional runways.

He also describes Gripens carrying Taurus cruise missiles for long-range strikes and argues that Sweden's planned supply of fighters to Ukraine would provide a substantial tactical advantage. These are his assessments of military capabilities and plans, rather than footage of a new combat operation.

Finland joined NATO in 2023 and Sweden followed in 2024, bringing both countries into the alliance's collective-defence framework. Ingram argues that their membership strengthens NATO's position around the Baltic Sea, while warning that Russia can still employ asymmetric, grey-zone tactics across Europe.

The video drew about 348,000 views since yesterday, the largest audience among The Sun's new uploads over that period.

Its second half moves from northern European defence to a Ukrainian frontline map. Ingram describes Ukrainian advances near the meeting point of Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions, explaining how taking Komar could help flank Velyka Novosilka. He closes by comparing Russian officials' territorial claims with assessments attributed to the Institute for the Study of War, arguing that the gains fall well short of Moscow's account.
