Development began after the adoption by the Swedish Defense Department in 1977 of a resolution that opened the way for widespread mechanization of the army. The CV90 (Swedish: Stridsfordon 90) infantry fighting vehicle was developed on the order of the Swedish ground forces by Hägglunds (now owned by BAE Systems) and Bofors. On this occasion, Militarnyi decided to remind our readers of the history and specs of the CV90, and we’ll try to assess the feasibility of such a large-scale purchase. Thus, information about cooperation in the procurement of the Swedish IFV looks logical. At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine already have these vehicles in the CV9040 version in their arsenal. It was the Swedish CV90 that won the tenders in these two European countries. Before it, they reported on the intentions of the Ukrainian government to acquire armored vehicles, together with Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Ukraine plans to purchase 1000 CV9030 IFVs, according to Czech media.
