We have never believed that we could stand up against Russia. The plan has always been to delay an attack as long as possible to allow troops to head to the woods for guerilla operations. Oh and to blow up our own harbours.
That's also why the Swedish military is trained to be flexible and make their own decisions. Even our air force is designed to work like that, with small ground crews capable of serving a plane out in the field. Jas39 gripen is able to land on roads and is low enough that you can perform service standing on the ground.
