These boats are made specifically for Sweden's unique coastal environment. There are very few places on earth like it, besides in Norway, Finland and a few other places. These are not optimal for the open sea or very exposed coastlines, but would work rather well on shallow river deltas.

[@samolofsson2401]

You can build on it for more exposed coast lines, but I agree with you it's made to go fast between Islands it's realy good for the northen baltic sea and all the Islands between Stockholm, Gotland, Åland and the finnish archipelago and from Finland to Estland, and From skåne/Göteborg down to Denmark and northern Germany, it's abit to small for open water like Norway to Island or denmark to UK or even worse the Mediterranean Sea down to Africa but I think it would work close to the coast in south east asia alot of small Islands out there too as long as they avoid blue oceans.

[@znail4675]

@@samolofsson2401 I think it can work in all of those places as long as you avoid storms. But it's a troop transport, not a warship so doesn't really have any reason to be out on the high seas.

[@Marcus_-sy9fi]

LOL! How do you know there are only few places in earth like Sweden, like you’ve been around all the coastal areas around the world. Aside from that, it’s a coastal shallow water amphibious speed boat, and therefore it should be suitable for many coastal areas around the world

[@veironhedlund8061]

very few good landing boats in the world let alone once that can work in difficult terrain. ya they aren't really optimal for making land in open areas but basically no boat is. they also don't have the pure fire power of many larger boats almost forcing them into a rush for the coast line. luckily that's their bread and butter. what I'm trying to say is it has flaws but it can be devestating in places like south east asia or america. especially since its so versatile when it comes to where it can operate and deploy/ retrieve troops.

Originally it is made to put a troop of 15 men on an island / shore within one minute. Like hit and run

I have been in boats last 55 years, and I was truly amazed about how the Stridsbåt90 behaves in the sea, it is just amazingly good in rough sea. It has a superb hull shape. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity being on the helm, but riding along was enough to understand the value of that boat.

[@vik2051]

The US Mark VI patrol boat looked like a mini destroyer, it didn't look as maneuverable as the SB90 though. They both would have a role in war, Swedish boat seems optimal for rapid infantry deployment and pickup while the US boat seem more like a gun platform you really don't want to mess with.

You don't need skis, you can ride on your feet alone, that's how my older brother and his colleagues did it when he worked at one of the boat yards that built half of these in the early 1990ies.
