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.
