- Some would say that it’s the best infantry fighting vehicle ever made, and while others would disagree, we are on a mission to find out how the Swedish CV90 or Stridsfordon-90 performs on the Ukrainian battlefield from the crew.

I am amazed by the dimensions of Swedish technology. Isn’t there anything that this country produces? They seem to produce everything. They have even their own fighter jets and submarines. From furniture to heavy industrial machines. Even their meatballs are world-wide famous…Respect for Sweden!
We don't make tanks or aircraft carriers. 🙂 But then again we have a reduced need for both of those.
@@nian60The CV90-120 almost qualifies as a tank but technically, you are correct. 😅
I haven't come across any Swedish made watercolour brushes.
That was the plan. Stay out of alliances. Produce everything ourselves. Obviously thats difficult for a small nation but we are a pretty industrious people. In the end we still ended up having to buy some stuff but yeah, good degree of self reliance.
@@nian60 hägglunds built 90 Strv122
Denmark and Sweden has already paid for production to start on Cv9035 mk3C for Ukraine. The gun is a little smaller but fires the same ammo as the Gepard and it will have anti tank missiles.
Great to hear. 😊

Here in the Netherlands we could buy any type of ifv we wanted, and we got CV90's. Awesome vehicles.
Good hunting! 🇳🇱❤🇺🇦
Wish the British army had gone down this route rather than Ajax 😕
You make pretty damn good stuff too so, dont worry about it. 😊
The last was delivered in 2011.
Then the Mark Rutte government felt they spent too much on the military and sold a bunch of them to Estonia in 2014.
@@MajorDork70Yes we do (UK), but for vastly inflated costs for small production run designs, using bespoke technology for no good reason.
Yes excellent and they have a big upgrade now.
The engine of the CV90 makes a very nice sound. There are videos on RUclips where you can hear it. It's like a purring big cat. 🐯🐅
SCANIA Diesel I guess but not from SCANIA as part of TRATON (Volkswagen Group) I guess.
@@espacesX OK. 🙂
Basically the same engine that is in Scania trucks with v8.
It's the same engine aswell in the Swedish "Stridsbåt 90" army boat.

CV90 is the best looking IFV. That is all I can assess.
nahh puma looks amazing to
Id say its one of the best looking
potrava pre lancety
It's definitely sexy.
@@dutch2smoked927Puma also looks very good😁 but good looking isn’t worth anything. Germany has a very big problem with Puma. Many of them don’t want to work how theiyre supposed to work. While the CV90 doesn’t have such problems. He is a very reliable tank.
No doubt the cv-90/40 is almost ideally suited for the war in Ukraine. It's one of the best IFV's in existence and apparently the russians agree, given the statement that they send a t-90 whenever they find a CV-90 is in the area. Clearly they fear it.
And when Ukraine gets the newly produced ones, they will have Iron Fist active protective systems and Spike Anti-tank missiles.
Then the T-90 will be the hunted prey.
@@MerecirBut also the whimpy 35mm cannon. Anything other than the Bofors 40 mm is an abomination. That dowsn't just apply to IFV, but all weapon systems that doesn
t have at least 1 Bofors 40 mm
@@xifel72 I can't imagine that Sweden will get many of the 35mm version.
My hope is that they overhaul the clunky 40mm ammo clip loading system and give it chain driven loading.
You must be a fkn nuts to think that somebody has a particular type of vehicle to counter another one, whatever is available goes. As an example of perfect technology - the first CV-90 that was captured by Russians was disabled by and RPG-7, you know, the boom stick designed in 1958, with confirmed video footage from drone, I bet you can find it if you google .... It's a solid piece of technology, but it doesn't need a tank to be destroyed ...
@@MerecirUnfortunately you can’t really chain load the 40mm. There’s just not enough room in the turret for that.
So single shot loading it is!
As a swede it makes me proud that we have been able to produce and provide such a potent weapon to the ukrainians that protects the life of the humans operating it. At the same time, the war makes me immensely sad because there are two brothers fighting and killing each other for no good reason. It is like Sweden would invade Finland, claiming it has always been a part of Sweden. That is of course unthinkable (though we would get one hell of a hockey team).

Ukrainians and ruskis are NO brothers,nrvet have been. Bolshevik tried to wipe out ukrainian proplr(holodomor)...so fon t call ruskis ever again brothers of ukraine!!! Slava uktaini!

The Swedes have been manufacturing sensiible effective weapons systems at a sensible price point. Along with the CV we may see Giphens in the air and Swedish AAVP's on the waters of Ukraine.
The most important thing is protecting the lives of the freedom warriors.
Yeah, we take protecting the crews lives very seriously. The vehicles can be repaired or be replaced, but a experienced crew is much harder to replace. Greetings from Sweden!
Is not a problemi for Russian armour

Hoppas på fler fordon inom kort! 🔱
Enligt en annan kommentator så har Ukraina förtur hos Hägglunds. Så fler byggen är nog på gång.
det ska vi hoppar,
Och några Gripen, fan vad fint det skulle vara!
Det blir fler fordon som inom kort kan ställas ut som troféer på krigsmuseet i St. Petersburg. Det räcker med en enda sovjettillverkad RPG för att slå ut en CV90 på direkten.

Thanks to Sweden for sending this great infantry fighting vehicle to Ukraine.
When you're friends with good countries, you get the good stuff. Sweden values it's soldiers and that shows in the design of our military equipment. Watching the CV90 defend Ukraine's freedom is beautiful and I'm very proud about my country building this and also giving it to Ukraine.
Samma här. 😊
Go to Ukrainian non-official channels and media and read what ordinary Ukrainians think about 'freedom' in their country. It's a pity that you are too stupid for this and can only watch TV.
No intention to downplay Sweden since I grew up just a few kilometers off of your shores but I'd say that this is the case for all western countries and democracys in general :)
Indeed it is. It's not just a Swedish thing of course. Ukraine's own BTR-4 is miles better than the old Soviet stuff the Russians are still riding. I just don't want anyone thinking that Sweden is giving some old crap to Ukraine because we don't want it anymore. @@Micha-qv5uf
@@Micha-qv5uf Yes and I see no reason his comment can't be generalized like that :)
Good to hear it is well liked.
Would have loved to hear their thoughts on how it handles the terrain and climate, comfortability etc.
Привіт я один із члена екіпажа задавай питаня
Dude's 22 and commanding an IFV in war. Holy shit, his balls are probably the centerpoint of earth's gravity, the size they must be! Also incredible how impeccable the vehicle looks inside and out even after combat missions - I've seen way way way worse wear and tear on CVs that hadn't even left the training grounds! They're really looking after it properly. Amazing.
The biggest problem with the CV90 is that there aren’t enough of them available. Several countries have ordered large numbers of new vehicles, those deliveries will take years. The discussed 1000 ones to Ukraine have not been confirmed from Swedish sources. Now, BAE Systems Hägglunds are doubling their production capacity since pre the war, so we will see.
I think they are building a CV90 factory in Ukraine. So the 1,000 CV90's will probably be made there.
I'm soooo thankful to have Sweden in NATO.... They make greaaaat Stuff. Their Soldiers wreaked havoc across Germany in the 30s Year Wars back then, that it still is known today all over Germany...
👌👏That's an awesome bit of kit from Sweden!!👍...thank you, Sweden 😍......And great work, guys in the Ukrainian forces!!...keep safe, and hang on in there lads you can do this!!! 🇺🇦🙏 slava Ukraini ✌️✌️🇺🇦
Having the Swedes on our side will be nice from now on. A very inventive people. Very strong…
I used to be a driver of a cv9035, driving in terrain with the hatch open is an absolute no go. You cannot see anything to the left, also there is a possibility of cannon collision.
I'm proud to be part of the development of this vehicle that helps the Ukranine people.
It is swedish tech from the other cold war, developed in the 80ies😁 But is still hits hard today! Varsågoda 🇺🇦 🇸🇪
Welcome to NATO Sweden. Love the tank. With Finland joining too,the Russians must be nervous,to say the least
And this isn't even a tank, it's just what Sweden built instead of buying the US Bradley, Brittish Warrior or German Marder.😁
Yeah. We in sweden have a very small military but we seem to have good gear. Finland has a massive army. I cant help but feel that we sync well.
@@SonsOfLorgar Technically, if they mounted a 120mm cannon on it, they would have to reclassify it as a "light tank".

Bad ass vehicle!
Sweden big respect to you....
Europe should fund the CV90, Archer, Gripen and Leopard 2A7/8 as Ukraines standard vehicles. Britain should have purchased the CV90 instead of the Ajax. The Gripen is a good enough fighter that has low operating costs and can fly from roads and similar terrain.
🔱💪Slava Ukraine!!💙🙏💛
Heroyem Slava! 💪🏻🇺🇦🔱
Good luck guys and stay safe. Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava.
We founded Kiev, we defend Kiev. The Vikings are back. 🇸🇪🇺🇦
According to the 12th-century chronicle Povest vremennykh let (“Tale of Bygone Years,” also known as The Russian Primary Chronicle), Kyiv was founded by three brothers, Kyi (Kiy), Shchek, and Khoryv (Khoriv), leaders of the Polyanian tribe of the East Slavs.
A 40mm cannon is awesome, considering LAVs and Bradleys only have a 25mm (and even those are pretty serious in the right hands).
Its kind of funny that both the mussel velocity and rate of fire is faster of the CV90 than the Bradley, despite the shell being considerably larger.
@@matsv201 you know what they say - shoot hard, shoot fast :)
@@matsv201 Har inte vi alltid varit bäst på automatkanoner?
Sweet! So good to see these CV90s in Ukraine - can't wait to see the Gripens, too - I have read they're remarkable :) I'm thrilled that Sweden is part of NATO now.
Better to focus on one system, Ukraine is already getting F-16 and there are literally thousands of those available.
Madlads! Such a beautiful system!
For me, CV90 is better than any other Infantry Fighting Vehicle... better than Bradley's 👍👍
Yea our German Pumas don't even qualify for the competition. A sad result of German buerocracy v _ v '
@@Micha-qv5uf Pumas arent out of Kindergarten yet
@@flummi6966 They will never be. The concept is already bad. It's the typical uneconomical gold plate approach of the last decades.
@@Micha-qv5ufthe puma would have been good, but they aren’t reliable at all. Its sad, bc the idea of the Puma was good, the outcoming result wasn’t. Im happy that our country (i am swiss) has the CV9030. He is reliable and, for a IFV, strong tank. Germany also got Marder btw✌🏻 he isn’t as good as the CV tbf but he still is a strong IFV.
Thanks to all the generous Swedish people.
God i love the CV90, such a nice vehicle! the Swedish make amazing technology! It is the best IFV on the planet so far in my opinion, followed by the Lynx and Redback
I was trained on the CV90 in Sweden, the A-version. Great machine! The biggest downside is that it isn't amphibious like BMPs, Bradleys etc. But it can handle around a meter of water depth. But I guess you mostly want to stay on land anyways ^^
It is armored to withstand standard Russian 30mm fire, thus it weighs almost as much as a Russian tank.
this amphibious capabilities is overstated anyways. there is no point to be rubber duck in the river in nowdays combat.
Bradley isn't amphibious, in fact, basically only BMPs are amphibious, most other IFVs aren't. We have deployable bridges and other means to cross water anyway.
@@Gustis40g "All Bradleys are amphibious. Earlier models are equipped with a water barrier, which is fitted by the crew before entering the water. A3 models have an inflatable pontoon which fits on the front and sides of the vehicle. Water propulsion is provided by tracks and the Bradley can attain a maximum speed of 7.2km/h in water." - Cv90 has none of that 😉
@@steifan yes it has an flotation screen, later models of Bradley does not have it though since the Bradley has gained weight.
Having an flotation screen does not make a vehicle amphibious. Would you call the Strv 103 amphibious?
Wait untill the new CV90 is in the market with hightech invisible system, not even a IR can find it. Is calculatet to be in market about 20230
Thankyou Sweden.

Bravo Sweden! Slava Ukraine!
A 40mm automatic cannon is tough on reactive armour. The first hit is nothing, the following five on the other hand.
Aye, actully there's been a number of comfirmed russian older tank models thats been taken out by CV90 40mm cannon alone, (T80's and such) Not from Penetrating it's front hull or such, but rather completly disabling it, Breaking most sensors, stripping it of reactive armours leaving it vunerable to other forms of attacks more & breaking their tracks, thus Crew abandoning it and later on either permanently destroyed by Ukrainian soldiers or salvaged!
Neither of these situations are like normal, and rare as IFV's in general are not supposed to engage tanks on purpose.
many people blame the CV90 for its bad armourment or the “weak canon” (at least in mz country, Switzerland. We also use CV9030 as our light tanks) But if we compare him not to a Leopard or a T-90 but to a Beadley or a Marder, the CV90 outperforms them in almost every category. A CV90 could battle with 4 Bradley’s and would still win. He is a tank that can be easily modified. You can improvise and it would still work. Sweden made a hell of a job there and i couldn’t imagine a better IFV for my country.
love these documentaries. European technology never ceases to amaze. British challengers, German Leopards and artillery, and Swedish IFVs. Everything is really well designed. Hope they ramp up production and help bring this conflict to a close as soon as possible
All your examples are scrap metal now. Time for negotiations.

you know the Stats are not biased when it comes from "Ukrinform".
Russia hasn't lost that many, wanna tell us the Ukrainian loses?
Who disagree? Even russian general praise. The only complain they have is the manual loading of the 40mm gun magazine.
And that's only on the 40mm variant used only by Sweden and Ukraine.
The 40mm main gun was chosen for the CV90 because Sweden had more surplus 40mm/L60 Bofors AA guns and ammo in cold war mobilisation storage when the CV90 was first designed than our scrap metal industry could process, and our ammo industry could easily develop a 40mm APDS round with enough penetration to skip a Bradley or BMP style anti tank missile launcher completely.
The regular export versions of the CV90 has 30mm or 35mm belt fed chainguns, and the latest also carries either a SpikeLR or Acheron ATGM launcher😊
@@SonsOfLorgar 35mm is better because it has much greater rate of fire. The old 40mm can only fire some rounds and had to manually reload. I think thats bad. Bradley doing good because it can continuisly fire for very long time
That 40mm gun has been around for such a lomg time (original version from 1930s) and has been built under license in many countries. There's loads of ammo for it all over the world.
@@martinfox3478 but it cant fire for that much anyway lol. maybe there is a way to improve its loading mechanism but ATM it just suck.
@@jeanmuyuela8112 Why is the American military looking to upgrade their Bradleys to 50mm cannon then? Larger caliber longer range and penetration.

I would have thought these are way more useful in the Ukraine conflict than heavy tanks - they have the firepower to take on bigger foes while also disintegrating soft cover with that rapid fire cannon / looks great too!
Yeah. It's like choosing between Ali and Frazier in the jungle. One "floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee", the other have a lethal punch -- but "his hands can't hit what his eyes can't see".
I've always wondered what the defined limit between the two is...
yes!
Nicelittle bit of kit isn't it? The autocannon tracer line was as straight as I've ever seen.
Fck yeahh!!
Ukrainians, turning a troop carrier into a self propelled gun. Sure, not as large shells as proper artillery, but against small concentrations of dismounted infantry it should work nicely.
The fact the gun is accurate enough in that configuration however, is probably something to be proud of as a Swede.

Welcome to NATO Sweden!
Excellent article
Hope we get a video about the M-55S soon!
What a mashine!
Stridsfordon stands for combat vehicle
Would be great for the Ukrainians if they received other variants of the CV90 such as the CV90 Mjölner or AMOS both are designed for close artillery support than having to rely on long range artillery guns and missile systems like the M777, HIMARS, etc., and especially the CV90120 with its 120mm main gun and pair it up with the CV9040, the pair would give the Orcs something to seriously think about surrendering or retreating.

the words of the users can only be taken lighly. but the fear and reaction of the opposition speaks nothing but the truth about the capabilities of these vehicles.
Nevjerojatna je švedska vojska a i proizvodnja
Slava Ukraine! May God protect you..............
Finally NATO has lower priced vehicles for land, sea, under sea and air than US super expensive stuff. Problem right now is that order books are full and loan interest is high.
with Ajax finally coming into UK service and looking pretty effective, i still believe we should have spent the money on this instead, we could have had thousands for the same price we are getting 500 or so ajax
The Ajax is an advanced combat reconnaissance vehicle, the CV-90 primarily designed as an infantry fighting vehicle, though it can be upgraded to a similar role there are potential penalties due to the increased weight, etc. that would entail, though I still think we'd have been better off adopting the CV-90, the Warrior is still very capable in the IFV role as well.

This is off subject for this video but it’s on my mind. Has anyone looked into the use of barrage balloons like they used in WW2? Granted high end missiles & aircraft would likely easily avoid such balloons but it occurs to me that it could make drone attacks especially on civilian targets more difficult & possibly force drones into a defensive kill zone.
