Swedish FDI frigates and Baltic logistics

Are Sweden's newly ordered French FDI frigates a sensible use of money, or mainly a NATO tax?

They are sensible because Sweden now needs Baltic communication, resupply, and NATO integration capacity in addition to national defence.

The reported order for four French FDI frigates is considered through Sweden's changing responsibilities within NATO. The supporting argument is that NATO membership gives Sweden a wider regional role, including moving supplies across the Baltic to Finland and the Baltic states. Frigates could protect those communications and resupply routes while adding defensive depth. Sweden's force requirements therefore extend beyond coastal defence to regional logistics and collective operations.
