Found an error in the video. The CV90 40mm L/70 APFSDS-T Mk II IM round is actually capable of penetrating at least 180mm. This in it self wouldn't penetrate any modern MBT from the front but makes all MBTs vounerable from the sides or rear. The 60mm penetration value referenced is actually from the old Bofors 40mm L/60 guns AP round and is tech from the 1940's
170mm would put the LFPs of many MBTs in doubt. Certainly most of the T series tanks, Leo2 and Challenger 2 probably the LeClerc and japanese ones as well.
The CV 90 clearly wins here, but i think the CV 90 should better be compared to the bradley or the puma.... As a german i have to say respect to the CV 90, its a very good IFV👍
@@alejandrocasalegno1657 you can destroy every weapon system. But if the crew is OK the CV90 have done the job it was build for. I would certainly prefer to sit in a CV90 instead of in a BMT!
CV90 is a VERY varied and modular platform, it is kind of it's selling point aswell. There are multiple gun options 30mm, 35mm and the cannon much larger 40mm with various types of ammunition 3p programmable ammunition, turret options, armor options, an AA variant, Forward command variant, Recovery vehicle, a 120mm gun tank hunter variant, and many more. 1073 BHP in the high end version that is amphibic and extremely mobile in mudd and snow.
Lets just put this out there. The CV90, especially the later models are far more dangerous than the Lynx, Puma, Bradley or K21 fighting vehicles. They are more modern, the cannon is much larger (40mm) the types of ammunition 3p programmable ammunition is deadly as hell. It can air-burst at set ranges, it would annihilate every single Russian in ANY trench with ease from kilometers away. The weight of this IFV is almost as much as the Russian MBT (main battle tanks). Close to 40 Ton. The CV9040 is a highly aggressive vehicle, designed to control the initiative by staying mobile instead of slowing things down to a walk. Aggressive maneuvering is what the CV9040 is designed to do, outmaneuving vehicles and killing them in the flank and charging enemy positions to drop off soldiers right ontop of the enemy. These tactics have been part of the Swedish doctrine since the late fifties as seen in vehicles like the PBV301 and PBV302. And it was directly copied from the German playbook of WW2, where the German panzergrenadiers/dismounts fought more often than not from their halftracks, allowing them to keep pace with the tanks and also maintain initiative through aggressive maneuvering. A Bradley, Puma, K21 and so on is not designed for that type of combat. It's essentially an APC that drops off troops 100m from the fight. The CV9040 drops off troops within 0-50m from the enemy position, or simply drives up to it and let's the troops fight mounted. In Afghanistan it was apparently tremendously deadly. The Danish or Norwegians were caught in some kind of fight/ambush and they annihilated the enemy. P.S 1073 BHP in the high end version that is amphibic and extremely mobile in mudd and snow. D.S
I don't support this statement. Everyone probably has programmable ammunition (I know about Puma and Lynx). The other IFVs consistently rely on better armor. 10mm more in caliber has advantages and disadvantages. I don't think the CV90 is superior to all of them. Otherwise it would have prevailed in America and Australia. But it's good and relatively cheap.
If we're talking Ukraine i'd say the CV90 will probably be pretty effective against trenches since its ammo can explode above said trenches and pepper it with shards.
@@Hallvard0 Probably was confusing it with some other war riddled country, i knew the northern part was, didn't know the whole country was, but i'll take your word for it, mostly because i don't care anymore.
Sort of difficult to compare weapon systems / platforms that are a whole generation (30 years) apart from one another. It would have made more sense to compare current systems.
Why do you compare an old Marder and not the new Puma against the CV90? That makes a lot more sense. The Marder is over 50 years old. It makes no difference whether it has been updated.
Well even with all the upgrades it received the Marder is still 20 years older. There is reason why its going to be phased out, 20mm isn't bad, but you would prefer a higher calibre nowadays.
I really love the CV90. But. If you are comparing in therms of Ukraine, I´m fine. If you want to compare actual european IFVs, why don´t you take Lynx or German Puma. Lynx (K41) is ordered by Hungary.
With Putin Russia now having lost upwards of 20,000 IFVs how well Western equipment does function in an offensive interventionist role will be now put to the test June, 2024 absolutely. The best IFVs on said battle space still remain Ladas and Scooby-Doo Vans but in theory that could change in a big way as the need for very large numbers of equipment becomes realized. That would mean for now anyways wheeled not tracked vehicles as presented here as the highway system upon in Western Russia is very advanced, intensive, extensive and not much used outside of Moscow proper.
Im glad that Sweden 🇸🇪 is in nato good ally with the USA 🇺🇸 Sweden 🇸🇪 and the USA have good militaries and good friendship and partnership with each other countries i love ❤ Sweden 🇸🇪 so much Sweden is a beautiful country and great culture 😀 ❤
Sweden has better equipment than Germany Sweden military is a powerhouse with many technology and some of the best weapons like the griphen e best fighters jets in Sweden 🇸🇪 military 🪖 🇸🇪🤝🇺🇸🇸🇪🇺🇸🇸🇪🇺🇸🇸🇪🇺🇸💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Strangest thing is that the Brits are still trying to get their failure AJAX IFV to work instead of going with the CV90 that British BAE Systems is a co-developer with Swedish Hägglunds.... weird...
I guess some people are getting a good cut of that ajax project money. They probably have no passion for IFVs, but are passionate about the cut. That is usually how you get a fails project, or the project manager is an incompetent narcissist, or both.
This was published a few hours ago but still couldnt add that Czech republic and Slovakia hos chosen it for purchase? Also, is this really relevant due to the CV90 being a much newer design?
