Information in English

WE DO NOT SELL OR DEAL WITH ANY MILITARY EQUIPMENT!

SoldF.com is an UNOFFICIAL NON-PROFIT INFORMATION PURPOSE ONLY site about the weapons, vehicles and equipment in the Swedish Armed Forces.
All services at SoldF.com are free.

The purpose of SoldF.com is to describe the equipment used in the Swedish Armed Forces to the public. The main target groups are those who soon will enter their conscription service and those who have a general interest in such equipment. With personal opinions, about the equipment, SoldF.com is not just another arms catalogue publishing factory data. We apologize that the information only is available in Swedish. Translating the whole domain into English would be a very time consuming task and is not planned at the moment.

Most pages are written by former users of the specific item who are allowed to have personal opinions and point out good and bad things about it. This makes SoldF.com much more alive and interesting. SoldF.com does not cover every little item in the Swedish Armed Forces, but the most interesting equipment. The information is held short and often linked to specialized sites dedicated to the equipment in question. This makes SoldF.com easier to read without getting lost in small details, which the average user is not interested in, but also a good portal for visitors who have a more advanced and specific interest.

The most popular items are usually the more basic soldier equipment, i.e. a description about a rucksack or a hat generally raises much more attention from the visitors than a main battle tank or helicopter. Probably because there are many existing sites about the advanced equipment and also that the visitor usually have personal experience with the simple equipment.

SoldF Forum

The message board, SoldF Forum, is now by far the most popular part of SoldF.com. The SoldF Forum has over 6,000 registered members(July 2007), and many more non-registered reading guests. Many members are very skilled and almost all questions concerning the Swedish Military can be answered in just a few hours.

There are some plans to make an international area of the forum for international visitors to ask questions. The forum has an English interface which can be selected in the user preferences once registered and it is ok to ask questions in English.
The majority of the members are Swedes but there should not be a problem to speak English with them.
