Swedish infantry protects an artillery-heavy way of war

Sweden could not trade casualties with Russia because its population was much smaller. Heavy investment in artillery offered a way to fight with fewer men, and the Army Museum in Stockholm contains a large collection of cannon. Disciplined infantry kept enemy cavalry away long enough for the guns to break attacking forces. Well-trained Swedish cavalry had a supporting role in this account of an army whose strength lay in infantry and artillery working together. That emphasis on gun quality continued into Sweden's later artillery industry, including Bofors.
