The CV90 is an amazingly effective IFV. Despite its age, it is effectively a new vehicle in its latest iteration, the CV90MkIV. The underlying platform is incredibly sound.

Even without the latest variant, I wouldn't really call the design 'old' by IFV standards Solid combat vehicle tho, agreed. Sweden doesn't build sub-par combat kit

The CV90 is a genuinely terrifying vehicle to have to fight against. It can see farther and move faster than almost everything else in the field and it can lay down a large volume of accurate fire.

[@peterwait641]

The latest mk 4 version with active damping hydro-gas is the best suspension for firing on the move. It makes old torsion bar set ups seem budget vintage, best suited to firms who's hulls who do not have accurate dimensions.

Seeing how the war in ukraine is centered around their BNP and IFVs and heavy armor is less relevant then ever. Even hand helt devices like NLAW can defeat heavy armor, so does the IFV's rockets. And even a tank taking 30mm fire will have issues afterwards.. cant shoot if u cant se the enemy.

The US should do the same after the abortion of the Bradley project. The CV90 MkIV is sooo much better. If the US learned anything from the Bradley Project it should be to save the development $ and buy Swedish or German weapons. The Bradley IFV Project was probably the worst run project ever.

*VARIANTS OF THE CV90* _The following versions were developed by Hägglund/Bofors in cooperation with FOA and FMV for Försvarsmakten as part of the Stridsfordon 90 (Strf 90)-family. Sweden originally planned for a mix of CV9040 and CV9025, tests of the 25 mm turret being carried out on an Ikv 91 chassis, but finally decided on the 40 mm version, due to the much higher versatility of the larger calibre._ *Stridsfordon (Strf) 9040 (SB1A3):* The original model carries eight soldiers and is equipped with a 40 mm Bofors autocannon. From November 1997, the gun was gyro-stabilized. Versions are referred to by the letters A, B or C depending on upgrades. All from A onwards remain in service. *Strf 9040:* Original production version with no gun stabilization and Lyran mortar. Incremental improvements were made during production; all have been upgraded to Strf9040A standard. *Strf 9040A:* Strf 9040 upgraded with extensive chassis modifications and external gun stabilisation on turret front. It has more storage and better emergency exits, and the seats in the troop compartment were reduced to seven. *Strf 9040B:* 9040A updated with improvements to armament (new fire control software, electric firing pin, fully stabilized gun with internal stabilisation and reserve sight with video camera for the gunner), improved suspension for better accuracy and crew comfort while moving, new instrumentation and new seatbelts. *Strf 9040B1:* Strf9040B modified for international peacekeeping missions. It has a 3P ammunition programmer, climate control and anti-spall liner. *Strf 9040C:* Upgraded version for crew training and international operations. As per 9040B1 with additional all-round armour, laser filtering in all periscopes and tropical grade air conditioning. Due to the bulk and weight of the modifications, only six soldiers can be carried. *CV9040 AAV Luftvärnskanonvagn (lvkv) 9040:* Anti-air vehicle, fitted with PS-95 radar from Thomson CSF Harfang (now Thales Group) and a high elevation 40 mm autocannon capable of using programmable ammunition. It is connected to the national air defence net LuLIS. Three have been upgraded to C-standard. There is also a demonstrator, designated Lvkv 90-TD, fitted with infrared video targeting and a fully stabilized gun for firing on the move. *Granatkastarpansarbandvagn (Grkpbv) 90:* (Tracked Armoured Mortar Vehicle), producer name Mjölner: A CV 90 fitted with two 120 mm mortars. The 40 CV90 hulls for this project had already been purchased by 2003 and were originally intended to be equipped with the Patria Advanced Mortar System. For economic reasons, Genomförandegruppen recommended against it and the AMOS order was cancelled with the vehicles put in storage until BAE Systems AB received a contract in December 2016 to install Mjölner 120 mm mortars on the 40 CV90s to increase the indirect fire capability of mechanized battalions. The first units were delivered in January 2019 and all 40 vehicles had been delivered by 2020. In 2022 an additional 20 vehicles were ordered with deliveries scheduled for between 2023 to 2025. *Stridsledningspansarbandvagn (Stripbv) 90 (Forward Command Vehicle):* Used by the battalion and brigade commander for command and control. Two were upgraded to C-standard, but have been decommissioned as of 2011. *Eldledningspansarbandvagn (Epbv) 90 (Forward Observation Vehicle):* For directing artillery and mortar fire, a more advanced IR sensor was fitted; eight have been upgraded to C-standard. *Bärgningsbandvagn (Bgbv) 90, (Armoured Recovery Vehicle):* Two 9-tonne winches provide a maximum capacity of 72 tonnes through 4-way pulleys. Three have been upgraded to C-standard, and at least one has been used in Afghanistan. The command, forward observation and armoured recovery vehicles are armed only with a machine gun. *Störpansarbandvagn (Störpbv) 90 (Electronic Warfare Vehicle):* A 9040A had its turret replaced with a fixed housing containing retractable mast and a LEMUR weapons station. Planned in 2002, a single unit was produced before serial production was cancelled for economic reasons and as of 2013 the project is still on hold. *Strf 90120/CV90120-T:* Light tank demonstrator armed with CTG 120/L50 (Compact Tank Gun) developed by RUAG. The gun is 120mm smoothbore, calibre length 50, with a rate of fire of 12-14 rds/minute. 12 rounds are kept ready in the turret bustle, with a further 33 stowed in the hull rear. *Stridsfordon 9040/56:* Prototype version of the CV 9040 equipped with the Bofors RB56 anti-tank missile. Issues with the sight alignment were unsolved and no units ordered. *CV90120-T prototype,* from which PL-01 mockup was developed *CV9030 Export version* with a 30 mm Bushmaster II autocannon. Adopted by Norway, Switzerland and Finland. Within BAE Systems Hägglunds, the original version of the Norwegian CV9030N is known as the CV90 MK I. The Finnish CV9030FIN and Swiss CV9030CH vehicles are known as the CV90 MK II. The CV90 MK II is also available as CV9030 COM - Command & Control Vehicle. The recently upgraded CV9030N infantry fighting, command & control and reconnaissance vehicles for Norway are known as CV90 MkIIIb, and this is the most advanced variant currently in service. *CV9035* Armed with a Bushmaster III 35/50 cannon. Adopted by the Netherlands as CV9035NL and Denmark as CV9035DK. Within BAE Systems Hägglunds, CV9035 is known as the CV90 MK III. *CV90105 Light tank* equipped with 105 mm rifled tank gun/turret. Designed by Hägglunds (BAE Systems) and GIAT (Nexter). A newer version features the Cockerill XC-8 turret. *CV90120-T Light tank* equipped with a tank turret equipped with a smoothbore 120 mm gun. (RUAG 120 mm Compact Tank Gun) *CV90 CZ Export* variant designed in collaboration with VOP CZ marketed to the Czech Republic, manned turret variant. *CV90 CZr Export* variant designed in collaboration with VOP CZ marketed to the Czech Republic featuring a Kongsberg MCT-30 unmanned, remote controlled turret, a slightly raised hull and periscope system. *Armadillo* - Armoured personnel carrier version built on a modular CV90 Mk III chassis. The CV90 Armadillo can be modified to become a personnel carrier, an ambulance, a command and control centre, a recovery vehicle and many other non-turreted variants at low cost due up to 80% commonality among variants. Currently, only the APC version has been built, with five delivered to Denmark for trials. (Check out the movie "Armadillo, it's a Danish movie about the Danish fighting in Afghanistan) *CV90RWS STING* Combat engineering variant built on CV90 Mk I chassis. This vehicle can be outfitted with either a mine plow or a mine roller, and it also has a robotic arm. 28 have been ordered by the Norwegian Army. *CV90RWS Multi BK* Mortar carrier variant built on a CV90 Mk I chassis. This vehicle is armed with a VingPos Mortar Weapon System outfitted with an 81mm L16A2 mortar. 24 have been ordered by the Norwegian Army. *CV90 MkIV* BAE-developed upgraded variant revealed in January 2018, marketed to the Czech Republic as well as existing customers as an upgrade package. Features include a Scania engine with up to 1000 horsepower, Perkins X300 transmission, and an increased payload of 2 tonnes. The system also includes BAE's iFighting computer system, which claims to enhance situational awareness, aid decision making, improve ergonomics, and enable autonomous support and remote operation. *CV9035NL MLU* On 13 January 2021, the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) of the Netherlands Armed Forces signed a contract with BAE Systems Hägglunds for a mid-life update of 128 CV90s of the Royal Netherlands Army, with an option for 19 further vehicles. The MLU project features a wide range of modernisations and improvements. The turret has been completely redesigned and will feature a new main gun installation, a mast-mounted 500mm extendable electro-optical sensor, Elbit Systems’ Iron Fist LD (Light Decoupled) active protection system, FN MAG general-purpose machine gun in an external pod and a twin missile launcher for Spike LRII anti-tank guided missiles. Furthermore, the CV90s will be equipped with rubber tracks, upgraded cooling, various cyber-security improvements and updated command and control infrastructure. Construction of the new turrets will be conducted by Dutch firm Van Halteren Defence. 🇸🇪 *KLART SLUT!* 🇸🇪

During the war in Afghanistan, Canada looked at acquiring 108 CV90s under the Close Combat Vehicle (CCV) project. I remember reading somewhere that the plan was to acquire just the hulls only and then mount a Canadian-designed and manufactured turret with either a 25mm or 35mm Bushmaster chain gun. The idea behind acquiring the CV90s was so that they could keep up with the Leopard 2 tanks while traversing over rough and difficult terrain. The existing Kodiak (LAVIII) wheeled infantry fighting vehicles were as fast as the Leopards, but had more limited mobility. The project never got off the ground as the war in Afghanistan ended, and the Canadian Army didn't have a continuing need for a tracked infantry fighting vehicle.

[@DavidEvans_dle]

The design decision reminds me of when RIchard Feynman was requested to evaluate the best location for armor plating for bombers returning from Japaneses bombing missions during WW2. While the initial recommendation was to look at the fuselage to see where hits happen Richard used counter intuition and recommend armor on location not hit from AA fire. Assuming critical hits wouldn't allow bombers to return - thus the ones that did, received hits on non-vital location. Believe this was mentioned in his book, "Surely Your Joking" it's a good example of using counter intuition.

One thing. If it was a Swedish CV90 it would have been the STRF9040, 40 denoting 40mm. So it would have been 40mm shreding the fighters to pieces

That's the one Sweden is sending to Ukraine. 9040C.

[@N.Sniper]

30mm? As far as I know Sweden uses 40mm CV90s. But I consider the CV90 to be the best IFV currently available. STRV-103 is not a tank but a tank destroyer. To be a tank you need to have a turret and tracks. Therefore STRV-103 and Centauro are tank destroyers, as they are able to fight tanks but do not fit all the criteria to be a tank. STRV-103 is the same concept as German and Russian WW2 tank destroyers. Such vehicles can't fire on the move and can only shoot at the direction the hull is aimed at. They are only effective in defense when you know where the enemy comes from. As such tank destroyer designs like this became obsolete.

[@Gibnetz]

Norway have CV 90`s whit 30 mm and that story is about Norwagien soldiers in Afganistan. BTW you alsow find CV 90 IFV whit 35mm canons.

[@jensolsson9666]

It is not the design that made it a tank, it was how it meant to be used and it was meant to be used as a tank. Ok it was specalised at the defensive role. At the time (prior to 1980) of strv-103 other tanks could fire on the move but they needed to stop to actualy hit anything like another tank. So the differance to other tanks capabilities was not that great. When other tanks started to be able to hit with the first round fired on the move stv-103 become obsolete. That even the sloped armor could not offer protection anymore did not help.

Yet the UK wastes billions on a lemon like the Ajax, when its a British company that owns the CV90. MP's and Generals don't get the same kickbacks from BAE as they would from an American company.

I always hear complaints about the Bradly fighting vehicle's about the height really does not matter if you abuse defilade at that if starts putting rounds through your hatches it becomes a trade off, it has a very fast turret, i don't like remote turrets again any damage to power and your down less crew to repair any mobility kills.

[@alexfortin7209]

Bradley IFV has 2 minor flaws: 1) ressource intensive 2) low passengers capacity If you’re willing to deal with logistics and split up infantry squads, it’s the best combat proven IFV.

@@TheXmabax Not true anymore (Durch are taller in average). The Swedes simply did not care about human factors when they spec'd out the CV90 requirements, taking a "Russian" approach. Swiss CV90 OTOH have a higher roof specifically because the average human does not fit in the vehicle anymore. At least 4 of the 8 riding in back can be normal size. And somewhat comfortable.
