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.

Flashback

The Pvpj 1110 is a Swedish anti-tank grenade launcher, which was used from 1960s until 1990s. In total 1600 Pvpj 1110s were produced. Of these, 300 were transferred to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Pvpj 1110 is capable of engaging targets at a distance of up to 1 km. The grenade launcher was usually towed or mounted on Pansarvärnspjästerrängbil 9031 Volvo trucks and Bandvagn 2062 tracked transporters.
