Overview of Pbv 302 Armored Vehicles as Sweden Transfers Entire Fleet to Ukraine 

Totaly. Even then considered outdated it did great and impressed the other nations involved.

Myślisz dlaczego dużo krajów rozwija wreszcie produkcję broni?. Stworzenie linii produkcyjnej trochę trwa. Od prawie trzech do czterech lat. . Linia montażowa to finalny cel. Trzeba współproducentów,dostawców podzespołów, wyszkolenie pracowników.itd.

Sure beats walking and it has useful firepower.

They will. Come on, they have been fighting this war for 3 years. If you pay attention you could have seen multiple drone movies of them doing just that with the ypr and m113.

Either that or maybe a scout vehicle. Potentially they could also be used in their former roles as mortar carriages and light AA units with RBS 70. But yeah, there's a reason Sweden developed the CV90 instead of just making some cheap and cheerful upgrade of these.

@@jakobholgersson4400 Cheap upgrades is what the Swedish army used for the duration of the Cold War, but it isn’t something I would willingly bet my life on.

Jako pracujący przy linii frontu jest lepszy od ciężarówek czy terenówek.

If we have the vehicles, I'm quite sure we still have the guns. I don't think we use them anywhere else.

slow ? same speed on road and offroad i had fun in it =)

@@christianhansen6061 Slow in water. 7-8 km/h but over a river is a short distance

@@Nubbe999 dont count in water .however it will take you across.

It was quite scary to drive into the water with it. The spsce from the water to the haches was aboit 5- 10 centimesters. I was holding my breath almost the whole time.

@@christianhansen6061 When did you serv with it? I did mybtour 83-84. MekBat 10.

Still better than a Toyota Hilux... well in some situations 😁

I was in one that flew. When we landed driver lost control, skid into a single tree stopping us from flying down a steep edge. 2 concussions and one back injury but I owe that tree my life.

@@pelleban The one I watched drovd cross a snowy field with the sun in th driver eye. 3 bumbs ahead. At the last one there was a gap about 2 meters in the tracka in the snow. The squad leader in the back hit the seeling without the helmet. He droppet it in the first bumb. Other then that I belive most of them were fine a far as I remember.

@@dennistofvesson6351 Yeah we hit the tree on the left side, our gunner got a real funny double blackeye outlined by the periscope sight, the machine gunner was thrown forward with the other machine gunner and medic hitting him. He hurt his back pretty bad and the driver hit his head on something. Me, group cmmander and the other Carl gustaf gunner together with the wagon commander (right side) was perfectly fine. I was pretty torn between helping the wounded or get out and stop the next 302 trailong us but I took a split decision and ran straight out stopping the other 302 I knew was not far behind us making him slow down to avoid a collision. Felt so bad jogging down the road when my comrades were hurt behind me but turned out to be right decision since I prevented it getting far worse. But I felt so bad leaving them right then. But everyone were glad I did it afterwards and supported my decision.

Går du hellre än åker dom här din gnälliga nolla!

It is still an armored personell carrier, armed with a 20 mm autocannon, that can make sure rear positions are able to uphold protected transportation, potential fire support and hit against break throughs. Also, the government doesn't send anything Ukraine didn't ask for - if the Pbv 302 is handed over, Ukraine wanted it.

It is very clear that you actually do not understand military vehicles at all, or what kind of aid that has been sent to Ukraine so far. 1. Sweden actually thought about the M113, but decided to go another way instead. Any source you check (which have a comparison) states that the PBV 302 has a better armour than the M113. Sweden deemed the capacity as "acceptable against 84 mm HEAT" (which means that most same cold war era russian IFV/MBT/RPG would penetrate the armour) 2. It is an APC, not an IFV. It is not meant for fighting, it is for safe troop transportation. It would clearly not fare well against any modern AT weapon or IFV, MBT. Not all vehicles have a frontline fighting purpose.If you have to make a comparison, use the Russian BTR-60 instead. 3. You clearly missed out on that Sweden sent 51 CV90 (the best 40mm version, with various upgrades and additional armour) to Ukraine in 2023. Sweden and Denmark made a joint decision to send additionally 35 more CV90-35 (35mm Bushmaster), date of delivery have not been disclosed. So that means a total of 86 CV90. Sweden sent about 10% of their total storage of CV90! Sweden also sent 10 Stridsvagn 122 (Leopard 2 A5 with Swedish additions, extra armour etc.). 4. I am absolutely confident about that Ukraine by all means tells their allies what kind of things they need. It's not like Sweden "dumps" old crap to Ukraine. You are delusional if you do not understand that war is a very complex machinery. Therefore you need e.g. APCs, terrained vehicles etc. just as well as everyone can't be infantry either. So therefore you have everything from cooks, mechanics to medics. If you do not have a proper supply chain it is game over.

@@74Darkman you don't have to teach me about military equipment, I graduated from a military school and served in the army until recently. I know both Russian and Western techniques. I see what is happening in Ukraine and the fact that mechanized brigades do not have IFVs, they do not need APCs, but IFVs, and this vehicle is unsuitable for any deployment in Ukraine, even as an APC. its protection against artillery shrapnel, against drones against anything is crap these days. Yes, I know they sent CV90 but there are few of them. Look at the mechanized brigades of the UA army, they are basically infantry brigades, they do not have IFVs, only the only fully mechanized brigade is the 47th mechanized brigade, which has M2A2. the worst thing is that the command of the UA army approaches the mechanized brigades as if they were really mechanized, assigns them tasks accordingly and plans combat deployment, but those guys are just infantry, they don't have armored vehicles, then it turns out very badly. On the newly opened northern front, they complain that they do not have equipment, there is no defense and they have high losses that no one replenishes, and that the Russian army is very well prepared, equipped and professional. this is how the Ukrainian soldiers end up, because they do not receive enough equipment and the necessary IFVs. :-(( (adjust the spaces in the link, YT deletes the links so I had to change it) http s: // southfront.press/in-video-18-destroyed-ukrainian-position-on-zaporozhye-front/

Yeah the two AEW aircraft Sweden sent is just juni right,
