😳😳Sweden will give Ukraine 50 CV90 infantry fighting vehicles and 12 Archer self-propelled guns, - Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden just confirmed.

This is huge. CV-90's have high mechanical reliability and great firepower. I expected Patria's but CV-90 are really good. pic.twitter.com/BTYAsmeZJT

🇸🇪 Sweden!!!
50 (!!) CV90!!!

This is unexpected, super welcome, and excellent. The CV90 is the most reliable European-made IFV and comes with a gun capable to blast everything in its path to smithereens.

Noice.

What's more, those are Swedish CV-90, so the CV-9040 version with the 40mm Bofors gun. That version was exclusive for the Swedish Army, export versions had to do with a 30 or 35mm Bushmaster gun (CV-9030 and CV-9035 respectively), which was far inferior to what the Bofors can do.
