They have to be filled with delusion to think that Sweden is a prime Russian target. Between Sweden and Russia there's either a sea or a country who's entire conscription military exists to make Russia not waste the effort. They'd attack NATO before they attack Sweden, at which point they'd have their hands full and Sweden wouldn't even be an afterthought.

They've been making military provocations against Sweden too (from the Kalinigrad enclave) because just why not I guess.

The why not part I get for sure. Or I guess to discourage them from joining NATO. Which seems to be having to opposite effect.
