Flashback

CV90 is a modern infantry fighting vehicle developed by the Swedish company BAE Systems Hägglunds. It was put into service in 1993. The CV90 is designed to transport and protect infantry units as well as provide fire support on the battlefield. The vehicle is equipped with a 30mm or 40mm automatic cannon, as well as machine guns and anti-tank missiles.

The CV90 is highly mobile due to its powerful engine and tracked chassis, which allows it to move effectively over rough terrain. The vehicle's armour provides protection against mines, artillery shrapnel and small arms fire. Advanced fire control and navigation systems improve accuracy and combat effectiveness. The CV90 can also be equipped with additional modules such as active defence systems and improved communications. This BMP is in service with many countries, including Ukraine.
