Hope you are OK, we hear in the TV news in Greece about severe problems all the way up to South and North Carolina because of the hurricane "Helene". They also mentioned more people killed in the Carolinas than Florida or Georgia. I guess these states are better prepared to deal with hurricanes since they have more of them every year. When I was in Tuscaloosa Alabama, we were hit by hurricane "Frederic" and what I remember most is that I could walk against the wind at a 45 degree angle without falling down.

I'll just say this once, that ... insane vehicle can take a direct front hit from a T80 cannon and keep going. I know this because it not only happened to us but to several others. That 40mm cannon with AP rounds can tear through the hull of a T80 as well. IOW, it's more of a tank than a T80 is. I'll leave it to you to consider where this might have happened. ;)

The Dannebrog is the flag of Denmark, which, according to legend, fell from the sky to the troops of Valdemar the Victorious during the Battle of Lindanäs in Estonia on June 15, 1219. It is possibly the world's oldest official flag still in use.

A majority of the CV90's in service are equipped with the Barracuda camouflage systems, which is available in several different alternatives, such as desert, woodland etc. Significantly increases its survivability due to the decrease of its signatures.

The transport space was originally intended for the transport of eight combat-equipped soldiers, but over time this has been revised to seven due to the increased need for the carriage's space for carried material and assured emergency evacuation.

Good that the original video mentioned that BaE Systems came in later in the process and that the vehicle was designed and manufactured by Hägglunds, Bofors by request from FMV and also that you highlighted this! I grow tired of other videos on YT which mention this IFV and say "It's British" 602 of the current vehicles are in the Swedish army so your estimate was correct.

The CV90 is also optimized for the ADAPTIV active camouflage armor that makes it invisible to IR and allows it to change the temperature of individual tiles to take on a completely different profile, such as a car or shrubbery. This armor system also allows the crew to write messages and symbols on the side of the tank for friendlies.

[@JustAnotherArmyVet]

That is so awesome! Can you imagine what the technology would be like in 50 years??! Wow

[@AdurianJ]

The Cv90 the original was built to outclass the BMP-2 in combat and it's that 30mm gun the front armor is measured against. And every export customer has chosen and armor upgrade package with additional armor on top of that. The Norwegians straight up doubled the frontal armor as the first export customer.

One of my best friends father was an engineer that took part in the work of designing this in Hägglunds, something back in the 80:s. That same place built these Bandvag 202 and 206.. These would be tested near where Hägglunds was and it happened a couple of times that some drunk people stole one of them, and had some fun with them, driving around the test tracks😂😂

[@michaelmay5453]

That 40mm autocannon is something else. I mean sure, it can take sustained fire from 30mm AP which is nice but compared to what we used (PVB302) that is what I wanted, that 40mm in comparison to the Bradleys 25mm is like a .50BMG compared to a .22 short. One of them fires bullets, the other fires large shells. If you'd like, go look them up side to side. It's kinda funny.

It's an unusal feeling just driving it into the water and if you forgot to put in the drain plugs it's a sinking feeling. :P Seriously though, you can do that. Just start the pumps and the dual hull that is normally IED protection but is served by the pumps will keep your feet dry and you can keep going until you run out of fuel. Yes, the CV90 is indeed an amphibious vehicle if you need it. The first time is quite unsettling though but you get used to it. :)

Nine minutes i you mentioned a possible camoflage that adapt its colour. That camouflage actually exist for real and are developed on the CV-90. There are also the Barracuda camoflage net that disperse heat signature to make whatever is under it much harder to spot.

[@JustAnotherArmyVet]

@@michaelpettersson4919 that is awesome!!

[@KarILsson]

8:50 Maby you refer to the adaptive vehicle cloaking technology called ADAPTIV. A high tech camouflage system using modules, which look like cells in a honeycomb to cover the flanks of an armoured vehicle. The modules are made of elements that can be cooled or heated up very quickly as well as controlled individually, allowing different patterns to be created. The vehicle essentially works like a chameleon, able to mimic its surroundings, or copy other objects such as trucks and cars that can be projected onto the panels from a detailed image bank. The vehicle is also able to signal peaceful intend through flashing text messages across its flank or by creating patterns that can easily be recognized by friendly forces. Its primarily for CV90 family of vehicles and in the future used on maritime and air vehicles, which might help to turn a helicopter into a cloud or a warship into a wave.

[@JustAnotherArmyVet]

It's a CV90 that can change its heat signature to blend into nature or to look like something else like a regular car, animal or you could write messages on the outside of the CV90 with its heat signature. Do not know how effective it is but it looks cool and that's enuff for me. :)

[@michaelmay5453]

What are you talking about, you can drive it right into the ocean and keep going. Just don't forget to start the pumps and see to it that the drain plugs are installed. It'll keep going in the ocean until the fuel runs out so crossing a river is a minor problem except that your manoeuvrability is very delayed and it's not fast so keep two at shore at all time to cover.

[@torbjorneriksson9304]

@@michaelmay5453 no, I didn’t say it was a ship, I said it was amfibious. It’s not a fish but more like a frog. It can drive over rivers that aren’t too deep, but it’s not a submarine.

[@michaelmay5453]

@@torbjorneriksson9304 Two things, all versions are amfibie versions and the "ghost" version is a decade old. That was my point, sorry if I was unclear on that. It can drive from Sweden to Finland so "driving over a river" isn't a problem no matter how deep it is, it can literally drive right into the sea and keep going as long as it has fuel. It is an amphibious vehicle with pumps that can pump out enough water to keep it from ever going above sole level, there is a dual bottom hull and it works for this too. This is something it inherited from the PBV302, just don't forget to put the drain plugs in and you'll be just fine, I should know because I've done that.

[@hrafnatyr9794]

🇸🇪 here🙂. Your magic camouflage is almost here 😃. Swedish Saab (which is nowadays mainly a military technology group) is among the world leaders in the field. Their latest camouflage system - called the "Barracuda Mobile Camouflage System" - provides so-called true multi-spectral capability. This means that in addition to the visual, what the human eye can perceive, the multispectral capability covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum - everything from radar and satellite surveillance to thermal sensors for heat vision and night vision equipment.

[@JustAnotherArmyVet]

@@hrafnatyr9794 that sounds like something from a futuristic movie!! Awesome!

[@ollep9142]

Amphibious? No! Also, the video said "not known which version is being sent to Ukraine". We do know, and it's strf 9040C, the latest and most up-armored version. The A and B versions were designed for aggressive use in combat where shooting first (and most) is desired. The C version stems from experience gained in Bosnia where the ROE stated that only return fire was permitted. Then you need to be combat capable AFTER being hit by one or more RPG rounds.

Recent orders of the CV90 have been placed by Slovakia, which purchased 152 vehicles for $1.37 billion, and by the Czech Republic, which acquired 246 vehicles for $2.2 billion. Defense News February 2024. It is simply queuing to get the best IFV. 180 will be manufactured in the Netherlands and together with them there will be 230 with those manufactured in Sweden. So the manufacturer in Sweden BAE Hägglunds has orders for a total of 628 IFVs right now. Even if the factory has been expanded and hired more people and added shifts, it takes time. What I can say is that we Swedes and broders & sisters in Netherlands do everything we can to help, I hope you understand. The Swedish manufacturer BAE Hägglunds have increased the production several times, but needs new facilities to further increase. 2026 another 11.000 m2 will be ready. They are also looking into opening a factory in Ukraine.

Here's my issue with modularity....The more modular it is means the more expensive it is because it means it has to be maintained a lot more which increases its logistical cost because each modular unit would have to have its own individual parts that also have to be maintained and must have a reliable logistic route to then send replacement parts and materials adding transport costs, this works fine with the US military, because we dominate in logistics there's no country that comes close to our logistical supply capabilities. That's not the same with every other country sweden is not one of those countries this tracked vehicle would not make a great fighting abroad combat platform because of the cost to replace one or to replace parts to it was designed wirh fighting close to home (it was designed to kill Russian tanks)

These are doing good work defending Ukraine at the moment. I think we (sweden) have donated 50 of them. From what I have heard the Ukrainians are very happy with the performance. According the czech reports: "Despite the fact that several CV90s have been damaged in combat, no Ukrainian crew members in CV90s have been killed, a testament to their high level of protection." I think the Netherlands are building more to be sent to Ukraine. If there ever was a good use of this vehicle it is currently in Ukraine.
