The donated units have done well in Ukraine. I saw a Russian soldier inspecting a captured one. He looked at all the hull damage, then crawled inside and was stunned that the crew compartment was undamaged.

I cant listen to him

Its perhaps something in between an APC and an IFV. Back in the 1960s it could probably have been used as an IFV with all the extra firepower and protection it had compared to the M113. But on a modern battlefield do I think this vehicle is just as vulnerable as an old M113. And having hatches in the rear where the soldiers can look out for threats and fire their guns is perhaps more a burden than an asset in a time period when drones are flying everywhere. Those hatches are great at giving the troops an overview over the battlefield, and allows them to fire on the enemy before they leave the vehicle, and allows them to defend the vehicle before the vehicles own crew have even spotted a threat. So it is good against enemy soldiers, but perhaps not so against drones. I guess the vehicle can be vulnerable against mines and drones like the M113. Some Swedes argue its an infantry fighting vehicle, while some say its not. Its a matter of debate. However I think this vehicle will undoubtably will be useful as an ambulance. But its not my first choice for storming enemy positions with.

@@nattygsbord Большинство минусов связано со временем его создания и использования этой машинки. На мой взгляд основные минусы это отсутствие современной пушки с системы управления огнем, а также отсутствие соответствующих оптических прицелов - как дневных так и ночных.

Some swedish military bloggers wonders if those vehicles even got their 20mm guns left. Some of them say that this 20mm gun is superior to the machine gun on M113. But there are others that say that it is inferior, as it do not cause much fragmentation beyond 1 meter and the little it creates could be absorbed by body armor that are common nowadays - which was not the case back in the 1960s. So they mean that the Machine gun on M113 therefore is superior as it can shot through trees and it is a gun that is easy to maintain. So I would not be surprised if Ukriane put another weapon on these vehicles.

@@nattygsbord Думаю машинки поступят в разной комплектации, и скорее всего так и будут переданы в подразделения, а там уже по месту будут решать что, где можно заменить. Поступят они тоже не одновременно, а будут передаваться партиями, как и Leopard 1, по мере прохождения ремонтных/восстановительных работ.

Not based om M113. It shares many parts with the IKV91

yeah I saw it, exact copy

I mean, it's not based on the M113, but you're right in that this is a copy of another video.

By buying Swedish waste manage systems after the war because there are the best.

These ones are for free, due the dismantle of them cost more money then giving them away for FREE…

The question is how free Europe should pay Ukraine for defending us with there lifes.

@@tremula1 that is a very good question👍🏻

I mean, Ukraine wants to build a factory in Ukraine to build CV90 vehicles, so that's one way of paying for it.
