Press conference is still ongoing. But it's legit.
>"Borkbork boork bork bork Archer bork Cv90bork"
Russia should prepare for incoming Swedish meatballs bork bork brok
Are you preapred for videos from the inside of the CV-90, with gun doing bork bork bork sounds as it destroys vatniks?
the funny thing is that the 4cm bofors literally goes bork bork bork when fired
Swedish does sound like German if it was developed by whimsical forest elves
As I swede I was told once that swedish to foreigners sounds like dutch to us, you can kinda make out some words and such but the sentences are completely intelligible
"– Dagens paket innehåller bland annat stridsfordon 90, säger energi- och näringsminister Ebba Busch.

Was there anything about them getting Bill 2s to bust T-72s or being the uparmored 90Cs?
They just announced so I don't know all the details yet. But will also send artillery system Archer B(not mention how many but could be up to 12, I think we have 20ish of those how aren't used by our forces)
Heard the Archer contract didn't get picked up by foreign nations so Sweden just took the delivery of the rest of the vehicles. Maybe it'll be time for Archer to shine for export sales like Caesar and HIMARS after seeing them in action?
Hopefully it does but we will see, this will really be good test of Stridsfordon 90 and Archer in real combat. If they're good, going to be great exports.
archer is too expensive for what it is so i doubt anyone will want it.
It looks comparable to Caesar for unit cost?
Switzerland was interested in it recently with a MAN truck variant. Norway bailed on buying them just in time for Sweden to upsize its military.
I'm in two minds as to what this war has shown regarding wheeled SPGs. On the one hand extended range projectiles mean you don't need the level of protection of a tracked SPG and lorry-based systems are more strategically mobile. However, especially in winter their tactical mobility is limited.
Maybe the right answer is a small number of wheeled for precision fire/support for motorised units and larger numbers of tracked SPGs or 120mm mortar systems for direct support of mechanised elements.
Archer makes more sense than a tracked variant in Sweden due to operational range + thick wilderness creating fog of war. In Sweden, artillery is basically spending its time shoot/scooting to evade artillery radar and nothing else. Hence Archer is super fast at just that.
Sweden has at least one on loan to the US for evaluation.
The truck version is due to the Volvo chassi no longer being in production.
Yep. Shame as the dumper concept is probably the best compromise in terms of wheeled/tracked SPG. The commercial use of the A40 also means that maintenance is both cheap and straight forward (Volvo is the largest supplier of heavy commercial vehicles in the world afaik). Tactical mobility is better than a truck, but still has the same advantages in terms of road speed.
If there's ever any US adoption of it'll probably get stuck onto a FMTV.
No way. FMTV is too fragile for a 155mm gun.
Recoil path on Archer isn't through the chassis but on the legs.
>Can't stick 155mm on a FMTV
>Sticks 155mm on FMTV

>Yeah
21 is not in use and considered able to be given, realistically it will be 12 taking and with the NLAWs, and CV90s + training and transport sweden should have just hit their first billion dollars in terms of donated defense material
Sweden has sent 0 (zero) NLAWs. Get a clue m8.

>im very curious if its actually effective in combat. 40mm with less ammo seems like a downgrade instead of a 30mm with more ammo but who knows.
I think it highly depends on doctrine and what area you're fighting. Modern 35mm seems to be generally better than either though imo.

>Stridsvagn 90
Literally first time ive ever heard about this thing. As i understand from wiki its at least a "modern and decent IFV" and they've actually built 1,280 of these, operated in northern countries - finland, denmark, sweden, estonia etc.
Anybody has any insight how good/bad they actually are?
Probably will have good flotation for muddy terrain. Infinitely better ergonomics than the BMP-1/2. Don't know how good the tracks are for dealing with mud given the Ukrainians have a fetish for making their tracks more mud resistant. See: T-64 vs T-72 and T-80 roadwheels and open track design.
upgraded cv90s are probably the best ifvs out there right now. they probably wont be in a few years though when the germans get their shit together.
10 years ago they were the top.
Now cv90 is on the limit of the platform, mostly due to electricity generation for future technologies.
Perfect for Ukraine though.
The real question is? Who is going to fight ww3? I don't see any one in the west volunteering or accepting a draft.
>electricity generation for future technologies.
What exactly are you planning to put on it?
Laser APS. The future is lasers on everything.
Not in the slightest.
>mostly due to electricity generation for future technologies
Not true for the MkIII+ models. They're almost a new vehicle in many regards.
They are new vehicles…
No shit they're produced more recently, I meant new vehicle as in redesigned.
It was literally built for a war against Russia in rough terrain.
Most NATO equipment is.
Awesome. Wonderful to see these vehicles finally get to do what they were designed for.
Best Cold War IFV, upgrades keep them competitive up to today. Blunders in modern IFV projects mean the CV90 is a reliable option for anyone looking for a proven vehicle.
Good armor with 30mm AFSDS protection, good mobility, sizeable 40mm gun capable of frontally penetrating all Russian IFVs in service, side penetration of MBTs with APFSDS at near ranges, air burst against infantry. Decent C3, optics, etc.
the modern ones have good armour and maybe ukraine isnt getting those.
How is it even possible that you have not heard about it? It's one of the most popular IFV's on the market.
Not in video games. Only Wargame has it.
I understand now
It's the CV90 which everybody knows, dumbass. That's just the stupid swedish military designation for it.
cv90 is a literal translation of stridsfordon 90 / strf90 though...
no one can speak our tard language anymore man so just get with the times
Well, stuff like kulsprut doesn't sound very warlike.
>fun squirt
Why you do this
"Kul" can either mean fun or bullet, sprut can either mean squirt or spray. "Kulspruta" in this context means "bulletspray" if we do a literal translation
>swedes literally call their mgs fun sprayers
based
tee hee
"Spruta" is the verb of squirting or spraying, but it's also the word for syringe.
The translation to English that gives the best sense of what "kulspruta" sounds like is "bullet hose" imo since the device at the end of a hose is also called a spruta.

the 4cm bofors gun in the cv90 is not the same cannon from the 30s moron
No sense of humor whatsoever
Sweden has a decent track record for making serviceable equipment. I too am interested to see how they will perform in Ukraine.
It'll be nice to hear a combination of the rapid fire of the Marder's autocannon and the methodical boom booms from the Bradley and CV90s.
Light tanks, well those are going to fricked up fast. Standard IED will deal with those, assuming a drone or rocket doesn't.

When will they send Ikea Stugs?
They will be operational with a trained crew "in a few months" according to the defense minister
In time for Spring Offensive
They're sending Stridsvagn 103s?
No, that is for Archer.
Stridsvagn 103 does not exist outside of museum.
S-Tank is either scrap or museum piece nowadays. You could see Strv 122 as part of a coalition though, if Germany gets their stick out of their ass.

I'M SORRY SWEDEN!
It's definitely very dangerous to infantry and all IFVs Russians have. Probably to most tanks Russia can wield right now too
Too many news. Iron rain pours on Ukraine
Canada will transfer another 200 Senator APC armored vehicles to Ukraine.
Latvia will send helicopters, drones and Stinger complexes to Ukraine.
50 is a bit stingy though isnt it? since we make the things?
Not really. Even if we happened into a war, Sweden is geographically hard to assail as hell. 100 Leo 2s, Gripens w/ meteors and a handful of CV90 is more than enough to defend anything important here atm.
And the would be attacker wood need to somehow get past Finland
Swedes are determined to fight to the last Finn
I spell it would
no i meant that we could probably spare more than 50.
but im not sure how many how the upgraded ones we have in service.
are we sending the upgraded ones?
I think so, it will be 9040C if that is the case. If I'm not wrong Defence Minister said that we're sending those who have been in international efforts(like Afganistan, Mali etc). Upgraded with extra pansar, latest ammos, mine protection etc.
dam sum. pretty based. although now I feel sorry for the vatniks that are going up against the Godhammer that is the 40mm bofors cannon. Yeetus deleetus poor gaynerites.
Then why did you lose Malmo?

Here is an interesting photo. Do you remember the rumors about send Apache to Ukraine? here you can see the "Terror" patch of Belarusian volunteers
They could pose with F35 or F116, i wouldn't count on it.
I think they started training. It's a matter of time when Ukraine will be supplied with NATO aviation.
perhaps at the end of the year?
Big if true, after all brit helicopters were trained in secret.
They actually looking for an experienced gunner

I'm checking with them directly about it right now
>we actually might see Apaches in europe annihilating entire battalions of russhit tinboxes in our lifetimes
brings a tear to my eye, it does
We should give JAS too. I would be interesting to see them dominate Russia.
Is it just me or is everyone suddenly starting to give heavy equipment now a political move? Everything is said to take at least two months before it will be used in the field like they are saying to Russia that they have two months to stop their shit or they will be crushed.
its because ukraine isnt winning anymore.
It's mud season till April or so anyway, huge offensives are unlikely.
rumors are that there were secret negotiations going on with Russia but they failed recently so West decided to end this war militarily.
Like in September when Ukraine and Russia were supposed to have peace talks! Then Boris Johnson went over to Ukraine and they pulled out?
I feel like it's more an acceptance that the war isn't going to be fast and then done. There is no longer any going back to status quo ante bellum, no more petrodick for Germans to suck, no more gas station of Europe, no more end of history.
They might have hoped that Russia would realize their mistake and back down, but since Russians are dumb and Putin have some issues, they now realize that will not happen. So to not have this bloody war go on forever they will give Ukraine what they need.
A year has passed, which means Ukraine finally unlocked heavy vehicles.
Which means jets in 2024
They already got heavy vehicles like the PzH 2000 almost a year ago.
swedish and American tech tree is such a grind
Everyone's at Davos right now and the Ramstein meeting is coming up shortly.
Yes, this is all about political will.
Ukrainians have the skills and the determination to fight and the West has vastly superior equipment to what Russia has. The war isn't over only because of the post cold war (neo)liberal brainrot that has affected the Western establishment
it's incremental as we expected since day 1
every broken "taboo" is a step on the road to abrams and apaches
Sweden yes!
So Ukraine IS going to launch a big mechanized offensive soon.
It will take several months until the crews are trained and the vehicles arrive.
July/August might be realistic.
They might already be trained, at least some of them. Who is to say there weren’t a few sitting in Poland
>Who is to say there weren’t a few sitting in Poland

How many months did it take between the announcement and the actual deployment?
Ukraine isn't going to fall any time soon.
bro, driving a tank or an IFV is dead easy, most of the training is about general combat operations which Ukies already understand except for completely fresh mobilized troops
Also to drill the features of the vehicle to your spine. Knowing stuff like turning radius and how it climbs is essential.
For a an already trained crew it's mostly about learning the specs of the vehicle. All the system, how to operate everything, how to maintain everything, emergency functions etc.
June offensive will be Kíno.
It will be like Kharkiv, narrow columns retreating of vatniks obliterated, sucks that WW2 battles of waves of tanks ended in Gulf War.

One small tweak here, only one is being installed on Ukrainian clay right at this moment. At least two more are being installed on Polish clay on the Ukie border.
Also, Patriot system_s_ plural are being sent to Ukraine. There are at least two more yet to be shipped. There's some very tight OpSec surrounding Patriot batteries, including how many Ukies have already been trained on them and how many are getting training in several countries as we speak.
The decision was made to send Patriot batteries to Ukraine. There is no upper limit on how many will be sent. More and more will arrive as trained crews & other logistics are solved. These are permanent gifts that will be maintained and provide security for decades to come.

They are sending archer? Its literally the only artillery their joke of an army has after they scrapped all their conventional artillery and they only have 48 of them and now they are sending them to ukraine?
>they only have 48 of them and now they are sending them to ukraine?
currently there are 48 produced with a total of 72 ordered. 12 are being sent apparently.
What's Russia gonna do? Stop invading Ukraine, pack up and invade Gotland after 10 months instead?
Invading sweden would unironically be a three day operation at this point if only they shared a border with russia. Their army is like 20k mercenary force of professional soldiers, no conscription for decade now and basically no artillery since they only have 48 archers and some mortars.
I'm pretty confident the military would look quite different if they did share a border anon, so it's kind of a moot point.
Would be funny if the russians tried to amfib across the pond, that'd be a laugh and a half.
Yes swedish military strategy has always been to fight to the last finn
moron
I’m pretty confident that ww2 would’ve been very different if Germany was located in the middle of the pacific ocean
>Invading sweden would unironically be a three day operation at this point if only they shared a border with russia.
Too bad that's not how it works in the real world and geography means everything. If you even somehow get past Finland you have to walk through an inclined, hilly, river-seperated, mostly forested chokepoint-land for over 1000km.
Naturally, Finland and Sweden working in lockstep like god intended since the medieval ages completely prevents this. In the cold war, it didn't, hence the army went full on total defense.
Nowadays, just bombing their boats and deploying our modern subs would be enough.
>Conscription
Restarted in 2017, planned for expansion soon
There is absolutely 0 sense in invading Finland and Sweden. The only option is launching cruise missiles to power grid and military plants while sitting in defence
It's more like 70K when you take the home guard into account
Kyiv was a "three day operation" back when the vatniks still had VDV and look how far that got them lol.
Conscription is for tinpot shitholes with incompetent militaries. Superpowers use volunteer forces.
>Superpowers use volunteer forces
yeah well we dont claim to be a superpower, sanchez rubenstein gubpta. fricking room temp iq having mongoloid.
Their population isn't big enough to generate enough volunteers. Having a large pool of reservists/former conscripts is worthwhile for smaller countries.
Sweden puts most their points into Navy, for good reason.
>SAAB cries about how nobody wants to buy anything
>Gripen is perfect for Ukraine's needs
>easy to maintain, light, operates from bad runways
>SAAB fricks up so badly that nobody even considers asking them for an order
how did they do it?
too long training, too complicated system, too difficult to integrate into the ukranian airforce
It's not really Saab's fault, small countries like Sweden just can't keep up with the jet arms race. They had some pretty serious budget constraints compared to Lockheed Martin.
Although the Ukrainians have asked for Gripens repeatedly. They may just outright buy them from Sweden even.
i'm pretty sure ukraine tried to license gripens few years ago but got told off because monke would get upset
There was an assessment made during the Crimean crisis that Sweden could last about 2 weeks against Russia. it was said that mass launches of missiles and air strikes would overwhelm the Swedish air force and air defence, giving Russia time to take over airfields and ports where it could airlift and ferry in troops for the land warfare.
That made the alarm bells go off in Stockholm and since then the military budget has doubled and conscription reintroduced.
The assessment now is likely that Russia could not invade Sweden at all, given how terribly Russia has underperformed, how they have wasted their strategic missile stockpiles and how the airborne troops have been more or less exterminated thanks to moronic Russian tactics and how the Russian air force mostly only seems to exist on paper.
The 2 week defense was based on lack of logistics so the army was making the point that since sweden had disbanded most of it's logistics they couldn't bring supplies to the front line so they'd only last for 2 weeks with their current supply. That is still true but I guess now they're working on it. Slowly.
>We will also send Archer
I personally saw an Archer being transported near Rivne a week ago. They're already coming.
CV 90
Its adorable.
Sharp nose, kinda BMP like
(Unironically think the Bmp nose looks kino if only the whole vehicle wasn’t lacking for modern needs)
the bmp is very stylish. certainly better looking than a bradley.
you're in luck, the CV90 is designed to frick the BMP into oblivion
These archers look like some actual wunderwaffe alright. Considering how artillery duels are the base of the war now, there is no way Russia and their shitty WW2 era cannons being pulled by trucks can counter this. I can see Russia pushed back even out of Crimea by march.
It should be mentioned that the Archer is made to prance about around impassable forest through roads, dodging anti-artillery radar pings before counterfire can pin it.
The low visibility of the Swedish terrain won't be here, but you could make a case for raspubreastsa replicating the impassable off-road terrain at least.
I hate Swedish Vehicle naming So fricking much
STRV 81, Centurion Mk 3 with 20 pdr gun
8 being the caliber of the gun 84 MM (8) and 1 being the first vehicle with an 8 cm gun
STRV 101, Centurion mk 10 with L7 105mm gun
10(cm)1 for being the first vehicle with a 10cm gun
STRV 102, STRV81 up gunned to 105mm
STRV 103, the Wedge
STRV 101R Upgraded 101
STRV 102R upgraded 102
STRV 104, Upgraded STRV 102 that received a different engine
Then we get to their more modern shit
STRV 121, Leo 2A4
STRV 122, Leo 2a5 (Basically)
But then for what ever god dam reason instead of getting 123,124,125 we get
STRV 122A, 122B, 122C, 122D
Same with the CV9040, which should be CV9041 according to their own naming convention (year 1990, Caliber 4cm, 1st vehicle with the 40mm)
>Same with the CV9040, which should be CV9041 according to their own naming convention
CV9040 is the marketing name of the manufacturer, not the armed forces designation.
>1st vehicle with 40mm
it wasn't
Strf90 is not a tank, therefore doesn't follow the same naming convention as tanks, just as the BMP in Swedish service is named the PBV501, not PBV71, and the PBV302 isn't named the PBV22.
>But then for what ever god dam reason
De-autisming the naming conventions in the 90s, and making it more compatible and understandable from a international perspective, as more and more standards within the armed forces switched to be compatible with NATO standards anyway.
So now NATO are sending their latest most modern weapons. It is truly a full fledged NATO army being assembled in Ukraine to fight Russia. This just makes Russia's victory even sweeter when all the NATO toys are captured. Russia will be richer and more powerful than ever before.
lay off the krokodil ivan
trying too hard
Also all disgusting bug war mongering cowards hiding and barking behind Ukrainian soldiers back look pathetic, they are even proud of that
They are cowardly dogs indeed. Only have guts to bomb and terrorize small and weak countries.
So we get to bomb Russia in six months?

Swedish is like the kawaii version of German holy shit I love it.
it literally means battle wagon
What can the 40mm bofors penetrate?
Can it frick up Russian MBTs? If not, does this thing have an ATGM to take advantage of its thermal sight?
>Can it frick up Russian MBTs?
The main problem right now seems to be getting through no man's land with all the artillery not fricking up T-62
It can take out a t72 from the side or rear with a little luck, depending on distance, addon armor and whatever. Absolutely murders any of their lighter vehicles. It's greatest strength in this conflict will probably be against entrenched infantry though, since they're getting the C variant with support for programmable airburst rounds.
No missiles, so serious AT duty will have to be performed by dismounted infantry with ATGMs. It has a big ceiling hatch in the back, so you could fire a javelin out of the fighting compartment while standing without much issue (taking care not to Abu Hajar your mates).
>abu hajaar
I miss that inept motherfricker
It was such a brilliant video from start to end. War should always be looney tunes tier like that.
some say he is still battle rolling towards friendly lines
>abu hajar the headless rpg gunner...
the airburst rounds DELETE infantry in trenches
One of the core requirements for the CV90 was to be able to penetrate the sides of 80's soviet tanks. This was met with the 40mm and new APFSDS rounds.
You'll have a hard time killing an MBT from the front with it, but both the APFSDS and the HE will damage sights, guns and whatnot
the amount of russians that are going to be killed by all sorts of nato gear in the summer is going to be so fricking kino lads
TO THE LAST UKRAINIAN!
nah, ukrainians are happy to kill russians without any encouragement. and they're doing a very good job of it too.
yes that has been the way we fight wars for the past 200 years
Man, I know this is just vatnik concern trolling, but if the ANA and AVRN had fought like Ukranians they'd have won too. It's nice to have an actually willing proxy.
God, the CV90 is such a great looking vehicle.
Things from that era just didn't have the bloated shell looks that everything does today.
Well unfortunately it turns out bloated shells of spaced armor / slat armor / ERA are the only viable defense against shaped charges unless you can reliably shoot them down with lasers.
Yeah, I don't care. Military procurement should proceed primarily on how good a thing looks with performance as a secondary concern.
You misinterpreted my post. Lasers are both cool and allow a return to sovl in design. Naked CV90 with a laser is mucho sexo compared to some bloated ERA and cage package.
what is APS doin
It's amazing all the shit that Russia puts in parades and then when there's an actual war, POOF, it's fricking nowhere to be seen.
Makes ya think there might be tomfoolery afoot.
they use dem kornits since the start
What's up with all these sudden major shipments by multiple western countries?
Surely they know something and are reacting to that. But what? Is the next wave of Russian mobilization? or Soledar? Or Belarus?
Ukraine's counteroffensive
We're about three months out from major offensives by both sides and they need at least that long to train
