Ukrainian defenders received 90 mm Pansarvärnspjäs 1110 (aka Pvpj 1110) anti-tank guns.
Here's What We Know
This was reported by analysts @UAWeapons. Most likely, Pvpj 1110 was handed over to us by Estonia. It is not the most modern weapon, but in some respects the Pvpj 1110 is better than the Soviet anti-tank grenade launcher SPG-9.

Though being not the most modern weapon, by some characteristics (penetration) it even surpasses the widely used SPG-9. pic.twitter.com/G5975opxqx
