Swedish army trains "cyber-soldier" conscripts
- The training is part of efforts to increase the capabilities of the armed forces.
- Sweden reactivated military service in 2018, and part of the aim is that more will choose to become professional soldiers.
- A researcher tells Swedish Radio that conscription is especially effective in areas like IT where there is tough competition from the private sector.
