The Swedish Stridsfordon 90 infantry fighting vehicle has been in service with NATO since 1993. The BMP has armor, enhanced maneuverability, a stabilization system, thermal imaging camera and a fire control system (FCS) with laser rangefinder. Earlier it was reported that the AFU will receive 50 such vehicles. In addition, Sweden has trained Ukrainian servicemen to operate Stridsfordon 90.
