I see that the Swedish are using man-portable anti-ship missiles. I wasn't aware such a thing existed.

If I'm not mistaken, the Swedes have been doing this for ages. Its a very effective means of defending their coastline against threats from the sea. Not sure if they used land-based Exocets previously.
