"Ukraine's Cutting-Edge CV90 Infantry Fighting Vehicles Redefine Modern Warfare"

Sweden and Denmark are jointly producing 35 new CV9035NL Mid-Life Update infantry fighting vehicles for Ukraine, with Denmark funding the project and Sweden handling the construction. These next-generation vehicles will provide Ukrainian forces with advanced features such as stabilized thermal vision for the commander, third-generation thermal vision systems for the commander and gunner, and a warning system to detect enemy targeting. The vehicles also offer increased protection against mine strikes and feature a 35-millimeter Bushmaster Mk. III armament with the capability to fire anti-tank missiles. Once in service, these new IFVs could become the most advanced in Russia's wider war on Ukraine.

Sweden Provides $24 Million Support Package and Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine.

Sweden has delivered 50 CV90 fighting vehicles to Ukraine, just in time for the southern counteroffensive. The CV90 is Sweden's answer to the American M-2 fighting vehicle and is 12 tons heavier but carries one less infantry. The CV90's extra weight translates into superior armor protection. The Ukrainian army has already lost at least 17 M-2s in the first 11 or 12 days of the counteroffensive. The Swedish vehicles should protect their occupants from all but the most devastating Russian fire.
