US Marines Try Swedish Monstrously Powerful Riverine Boats at Full Speed 

I was boat commander in the Swedish Special Marines as we call "Coastal Rangers" and 1984 we already tested different Protetypes with Water jets engines and special hulls that finally became Stridsbåt 90 ( Combat Boat 90 ) 90 = Year 1990. It was originally made for our Coastel Rangers when they attack islands in full speed entering the shores. The waterjet engines are made so we reverse the jet and the Boats stops in 5 meters getting only the nose on the shore so the hull is intact and the Badasses rush out and do their job. More info I cannot reveal what we do, hehe. But you can imagine with full equipped with Robot system from Bofors plus 40 mm Canon etc, Machine Guns etc what a fight we can give the enemy in our own backyard.

USMC was first made aware of the Stridsbat 90 back in 1992 with visit of the then CMC General Carl Mundy, who actually took the helm of one the craft in the Stockholm archipelago. General Mundy was the guest of Royal Coast Artillery Brigadier Per Lundbeck. General Mundy also witnessed activities of the Swedish Coastal Rangers and Combat Divers in the cold winter waters during his official visit to Sweden, the first time for a Marine Commandant.

As the brother-country of Sweden, Norway with it's massive coastline, depend on these boats for defense :) Thanks Sweden. TBH the video is in Norway.

As an Alaskan fishing guide who's spent the past 28 years sledding up and down many of AK's most challenging rivers, I'm jealous, envious and completely approve of these beautiful tools of the trade.

This is in Harstad, Norway. The training is done together with the Norwegian Costal Ranger Commando. The boats are Swedish produced though.

Should have had a clip when it stops from full speed, it is a pretty impressive sight!

Even the Stockholm Police have themselves a 90H, sounds incredible!

You gotta hand it to the swedes they make some first class gear 👌🇸🇪🇬🇧

Scandinavian forces have the kind of boats that are designed by obsessive engineers, to be driven by absolute lunatics. A powerful symbiosis.

They are made to be used in the worlds biggest archipelago, using the protection from island, not on open sea

Oh tried the ones in Norwegian service. Brothers on the west side of Scandinavia. US version is pretty sweet

TY good job, for America and all of us !

Wow, Very cool Sweden!

"crash stopped" in stridsbåt 90 from +40 knots with less than 2

They may be Swedish boats, but the military was Norwegian.

Very IMPRESSIVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ THANKS FOR REPORTING AND SHARING ❤❤❤❤ GREETINGS FROM MAASTRICHT THE NEDERLANDS

Same mission but a vast change from a Viking Longship to a Vietnam era PBR to these monsters. I was on a PBR back in the day and damn glad I had MA2 .50 BMG handy.

Some say that the swedes can drive these boats anywhere and anytime. Modern dragon ships 👍🏻

It might work like the Carl Gustafs and Bofors canons. Which we have bought in the past.

Realy I like it they are so powerful

Ôi.một công nghệ tuyệt vời.nó dành cho những người dũng cảm

The s-boats cammo is awesome!!!

Bad ass military river boat!

En Argentina nesecitamos esta tecnologia

Very Good. Very Good .very Good...

at 12.00 french MBT "Leclerc" not Leopard...

The US Navy used these boats as part of the Riverine Forces under the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command but once their mission sets ended with the end of the war in Iraq, they became obsolete and have been decommissioned. It was one of these that was captured off of Farsi Island in 2016.

You should check out the Norwegian Skjold class with a speed of 60 - 80+ knots with the Naval Strike Missile

As a marine commando once said to me: a dry duit doesn't mean a warm suit.

They are practicing in the Norwegian coastal waters, just outside Harstad, between Hinnøya and Grytøya. Old stomping grounds

Good training.

Storebro that was one of the devolper companies used some of the tec in their civilian Storebro J32 and J34. 32 and 34 fot daycruisers with waterjets.

Very cool!

Adding to the operational efficiency is the fact that the conscripts driving these boats are most often already sto start with used to driving fast boats, and doing the occasional landing on the rock "beaches" of Sweden. They also aquire a keen knowlidge of some part of the archipellago (thousands of islands), and probably they already knew some. (Like you know what straits are possible to navigate, depending on water level at a certain point in time.) Water is kind of second element to Swedes - since even long before the Vikings!

ผมได้ติดตามดูตลอดช่องนี้ให้ความรู้และเพลิดเพลิน แต่สิ่งสำคัญ โลโก้ช่องคุณสวยงามมาก ถ้าเป็นไปได้ผมอยากได้เสื้อที่มี โลโก้ The Daily Aviation ไว้ใส่เที่ยว คงเท่ห์มาก ขอขอบคุณล่วงหน้าครับ 🙏❤

When I see Japanese soldiers, I imagine that they are mobilising to stop Godzilla.

Tuyệt Vòi lắm 🎉🎉🎉❤

There was no "Full speed" runs in the vid, only "economic" cruise speed....

Your video are always interesting, but this time, at the end you show some pictures of the french tank Leclerc instead of the Leopard2 tank.

nice !!

12:20 these tanks are not german Leopard but french Leclerc...

Published speed of 40 knots - Sounds like great fun!

Is it a real brown water boat or a costal boat doing double duty? What is the draft? It’s a cool, boat and I respect the Swed’s they have been operating boats like this for all of recorded history .

These days (and for quite a while now) no one does small, fast military vessels anywhere near as well as the Scandinavians. When it comes to fast boats they reign supreme, check out some of their post-war boats that are now collector-owned, these countries took over PT Boat development where Higgins left off and the results are always awesome.

Swedish!!! Norwegian thank you!

I can vouch that a wetsuit hood helps a lot! This Australian on secondment had big time brain freeze 😂

As a former swedish marine, we were tought that H stands for Helge (swedish for the letter H).

The United States Navy had some built in the USA for use in Iraq. They even experimented with deploying them from amphibious assault ships.

It’s the Norwegian Navi in Tromsø

Oh, I’d love to take a ride on one these beauties!

A product developed by Dockstavarvet.👌

Good Fishing!,,

What did you catch today, earl. Couple shineys and 16 marines. Had to throw em back

keren mister 😍😍😍

Is the guy with US NAVY patch a SWCC boat operator?

Oohh that is hard.I have never gone diving from a boat like that.

Sweden 🇸🇪👍💪👊

What Riverine boats? Sweden doesn't have any Riverine boats. Sweden have the Combat boat 90(cb90).

Europe and America✌🏻

Cool

on 4:28 u see the loop antenna does anyone know the type of antenna?

That Vhinook must be a wet dream for every insurgent with a manpad.

Those boats are not Riverine boats. They are Swedish developed, Swedish built CB90. Combat boat 90

Next Maritime Toy to cover *"CARRIER SEAL"* is an 8-man swimmer delivery vehicle designed for the covert insertion and extraction of combat diver units. It operates in three modes; surface, semi-submerged and submerged.

Looks like those boats are flying the Norwegian flag

Wow

We have some history with transporting warriors in fast boats that can go up rivers

The Scania motor in then boats is no joke. 2 x V8 combined power 1350 hp.

12:30 French Leclerc and right after if for the M2 comment Abrams.

I had a friend in the 1960's whose Father had a dinghy which was made of molded marine ply, I think it was Swedish made,I wonder if these boats are the same

Sweden's Stridsbåt 90 will be equipped with the Dillion M134 Minigun in the near future.

Did you really talk about Leopard 2 and show many times the french Leclerc MBT ?

Try doin that on battery power.

Well, I guess jumping into the water from a fast boat involves aviating for a very short time ;)

Heia Norge!

about 40 high speed neumatic Narco boat snatched by the police,were delivered from Spain to Ukraina.

Swedish boats with Norwegian flags. (Yeah, I know they sell to Norway but would have been nice to see a Swedish flag)

Bless the Green Grunts.

why we show what we have?

Swedes build some good stuff..welocme to the gang

Those are not a riverine boats but boats designed to be operated at Baltic sea.

Can this boat can toe to toe with Shaldag mk V

Sweden is going to arm her Stridsbåt 90 with the M134D Dillon Aero Gatling Gun System. The Stridsbåt 90 was developed for littoral warfare and was supposed to be armed with automatic cannons from retired fighter jets, the 30 mm ADEN cannon. _The Royal Small Arms Factory ADEN cannon (ADEN being an acronym for "Armament Development, Enfield") is a 30 mm revolver cannon used on many military aircraft, particularly those of the British Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm. Developed post-World War II primarily to meet British Air Ministry's requirement for increased lethality in aircraft armament, the cannon was fired electrically and is fully automatic once it is loaded._

Must be an old video, because I thought we were getting rid of the MK VI boats... Despite initial plans to acquire 48 Mark VI boats, only 12 were ordered in 2015 and delivered by 2017 with none purchased afterwards. In early 2021, the U.S. Navy signaled its intention to divest them by the end of the year. The decision was made as a cost saving measure, as the boats were not extensively used, suffered from reliability problems, and were considered too expensive to maintain. The Navy however briefly rescinded the plan in May 2021 pending final Fiscal Year 2022 budget decisions before ultimately continuing with devestiture. As of 2022, the 12 MK VI hulls remain in long term layup and storage and all MK VI program manpower, training, unique systems, and all support has been divested.

Amazing, question, What happens to their weapons in saltwater?

you did not show the one that has two 120mm cannons

"Working one"

👍👍

Amazing boats

opmerkelijk dat deze "Zweedse" een Noorse vlag voeren en zo te zien in Noorwegen waren. Weten jullie wel zeker date dit Zweedse schepen zijn?

What Eva float's your boat , roa Aotearoa nui.

Very nice. But the important question is “how many skiers can it pull ?”

Pay attention Marines ,seals ,rangers ,green berrrats.
