152 light tanks. Something happened to BMP-1?
Aside from it being hopelessly outdated soviet pot metal death trap? No.
what about BVP-M?
Nah, im sure they parked them right over there somewhere
Half a century happened to them.
They sent them all to live on a farm in Ukraine where they'll be kept fed and happy and definitely not exposed to modern antitank weapons
>152 light tanks
CV90, not CV90120. Or do we suddenly consider IFV's to be light tanks?
40mm classifies as a light tank IMO
Back in WW2 perhaps. I don't see a lot of people saying the any version of the BMP is a light tank. And I doubt Slovakia went with the 40mm, it ain't what's in the picture for one thing.
40mm can pen any tank from the sides and is big enough to wreck structures and field meaningful air bursting munitions
We will finaly get the MKIV into production. Sweet
I wish UK would just buy these now, add 700 on to the 152 for Slovakia order.
>I wish UK would just buy these now
No self-respecting modern country will buy CV90 as a platform to last the next 30-40 years.
It's only for poorgay buyers.
dunno m8 sounds like cope
Good choice. Excellent vehicles.
>Slovak-MoD-settles-on-CV90
So I guess that Czechs will follow the suit

Yes, I was being unironic. 28 posts and still no source posted.

Right there, morono-kun.
How are you this moronic?
>Still no source posted so we can verify it
Sad.

Funny how that also applies to Portuguese and Brazil... but not France and, I dunno, Ivory Coast.
Source is TASR you krokodil addict
They were considering Borsuk as well, but since we didn't them the documentation, it got only 30 points(for the sole fact of it being able to swim).
For comparision, CV90 got 272 points.
lol
lmao
Slovakia need tanks, 20 T-72m1 is not enough. Around 100-200 modern tanks should be ok
Borsuk is not ready, 2 years maybe until production can start. But it's not bad option for them as a second lighter IFV
>Borsuk
But Polish shills told me it was the best IFV on the planet ready to steal Germany's spotlight in the field?
They didn't score it because they had no documentation.
My bad, CV90 scored 292 points
lynx bros...
….we got too wienery
Lynx probably lost because of the cost. Suprised to see ASCOD higher, given the issues with UK
Wtf is borsuk is up there.
Yeah, lynx was also disqualified in the czech bid due to the lack of documentation.
I honestly think that was just an excuse to remove it due to the cost
Whatever you have to tell yourself. rheinmentall is rapidly losing market share and it’s not just because of costs. Turns out adding a gay barrel shroud to your ifv isn’t worth the insane price
is there score table anywhere?
Don't care, never buying German shit
>CV90
>german
?
Not my problem
Good polak, no more german weapons for anti-germans.
This.
Unironically Europe would've been a better place now without Germay.
Why do they keep making CV90? Wasn't the SEP supposed to replace it?
It just works
No, SEP was meant to replace things like the BV206 family, Pbv 302, PvRbBv 551, LvRbBv 701, Tgb 30/40/11/13/20 and so on as an all around shrapnel-protected, terrain-capable workhorse. The Swedish army abandoned the whole thing in 2007 since they had no budget whatsoever at the time, and Hägglunds likely gave up in 2009. Given his I suspect it didn't have the armour of the CV90 but I can't be arsed to check. By the looks of it the various worn-out old vehicles will instead be replaced by a drip-feed of Patria and maybe some extra CV90.
>advanced APC to safely transport infantry to the front lines and disembark in range of artilery
only 17 billion kek
fricking AAF camo scheme and all
that's not Project Honor
Sexy
Extremely based.
Finland will also most likely get more CV90s in a few years, once the air force and navy big acquisitions are done and it's the army's turn.
