Proven in a battle formation role in Afghanistan it's a handy piece of kit with some fitted with the useful heavier cannon in anti AFV/IFV anti bunker busting abilities. So yes it's one vehicle that everyone in NATO could use in reconnaissance and troop carriers departments. I dont know what the latest version costs with missile and extra 7.62 machine gun side pod additions it's has undeniably the best electronic ability all readymade tested in use and theres no reports of the tracks being less reliable and unlike the new ascot by different manufacturers the uk armys vehicle making the crews sick the cv90 should be at the top of the list un less the new boxer tracked variety being any better only time will tell .

The 40mm the Ukrainians will get has the ability to kill Russian tanks with flanking shots. That's pretty important for an IFV. ATGMs are powerful tools, absolutely. But consider what they are. A two shot gun that requires you stand still to fire and remain still to hit. When looking at them from. That perspective, you realize they aren't to be relied upon on a fluid battlefield. A 40mm autocannon that can fire accurately while on the move and hit its target repeatedly becomes a huge advantage, especially in a forest or urban setting where ATGMs wire guidance can be obstructed.

If they are used for what they are designed to do, they are very effective. Behind a spearhead of heavy tanks, they can clear most things such as light armored vehicles and other vehicles that are not heavy tanks, although they can also knock them out from the side. If you have some German Gepard with you and an outer screen of fighter jets, it will be quite difficult for the Russians to resist. The problem, of course, is all the mines that have been laid.

We Swedes have known this for 30 years, welcome to the club. By the way our IFV as known as CV90 is for sale if you want to buy it. Hence the need for IFV's that are really mobile and here CV90 is king. It can carry 8 soldiers and it has good speed and mobility to do this task, spread out your infantry. This is also why the CV90 has become so popular I think. Most western militaries have realized this and rather go for mobility with IFV's instead of main battle tanks. The CV9040 drops off troops within 0-50m from the enemy position, or simply drives up to it and let's the troops fight mounted. In Afghanistan it was apparently tremendously deadly. The Danish or Norwegians were caught in some kind of fight/ambush and they annihilated the enemy.

I wonder why all new export versions use a different canon than the original 40/70 Bofors gun. Even the new 35/50 from Bushmaster seems to have a noticeably smaller case compared to the OG 40 mm Bofors. Smaller case means less gun powder and thus less kinetic energy or a smaller multi purpose “warhead” if not kinetic. The Bushmaster 35 mm HE weights almost half the HE for the Bofors. The 40mm Bofors, with the modern 3P ammunition is really dangerous for both infantry (air burst mode, tungsten preformed fragments), armored targets (delayed detonation for penetration) and even helicopters and drones (again, air burst). And it can also shoot an APFSDS-T armor piercing round that is useful even against lighter tanks. I don’t think any of the other cannons have something that comes even close. So why is everybody sticking to the much more limited “smaller” cannons? I’m guessing the “magazine” for the bushmasters are bigger ofc, but a three round burst of the 40mm Bofors delivers around 3000 tungsten balls so there is probably not a need to send that many rounds against one target anyhow. Or am I missing something major here?

The original Swedish 9040 was designed as a part of a counter-attack concept where fast and heavy armored formations with MBTs supported by mechanized-infantry would be used to strike against airborne or naval landings before solid beachheads could be consolidated. Necessitated by the neutrality employed by Sweden and reasonong that the Russian invader would come by air and sea. Thus mobility and high firepower (airburst 40mikes) was selected over staying-power (more ammo stowage) for a concept revolving around decisive action. Larger calibers requires more upfront battlefield-logistics (FARP) in order to keep a battalion in combat so a lot of nations opted for CV90s with more commonly used 25, 30 or 35mm for infantry-support in their mot/mech-infantry battalions rather than more oomph 40mm as part of armored battalions (like Sweden).

A smaller gun means there is room for more ammunition. The CV9040 can have 24 rounds loaded in the gun and 210 more stored elsewhere in the vehicle. The CV9035 can have 70 rounds loaded but only 133 additional rounds stored in the vehicle. The CV9030 can have as many as 160 rounds loaded in the gun and 240 more stored. So what is best, a few big bangs or a lot of smaller ones? There's no absolute answer and different buyers went for different options.

Wouldnt want to be in front off this thing, pure slaugthering machine. GO UKRAINE 🇺🇦

Can these canons penetrate armour of the MBT ?

It has a tank-like profile so I bet it will be mistaken for an actual tank a lot in Ukraine when spotted.

buddy, every politician, reporter, and the vast majority of people think a vehicle with tracks, armor, and a gun is a tank.

I think that’s a good thing? If they don’t have anything to counter a tank, they might run away. Or if they see many of them.

all variants of the CV90 IFV should be further upgraded with a raised suspension setup featuring a heavy duty 5.0 in. suspension lift for enhanced off roadability across rough terrain . . . turretless variant of the CV90 Mk5 could do with a raised top hull roof section . . . in order to comfortably accommodate spec ops personnel in full tactical gear inside the aft troop compartment . . .

So 6 soldiers in full gear equipped with machineguns and MAAWS and AT4s and NLAWs and antitank mines isn't enough? You need more space?

CV9040 (Cv9040 mk 0) does not exist anymore they are all uppraded to minimum cv9040A or a more modern version.

Looks balanced, I'm gonna say it'll fit comfortably at 5.0BR

Cv9040B is at 9.3 and the C is 10.0 If they put them at 5.0 I would start grinding them asap.🤓

I'm far from an expert, but if I were to guess, it depends on two things. cv90 is built with Swedish / Northern European terrain in mind. of course it works well outside of this, but maybe the American alternative works somewhat better in several different terrains? and the second is probably due to politics and lobbying

Read somewhere recently that the CV90 is one of two candidates being considered for replacing the Bradley.

It looks to me as if the gun stops the drivers hatch opening when pointing a bit to the left.

Yes, but you can go internally in the vehicle and exit from the rear. The prismas that you look through from the driverposition is also very good and you have good control driving with the hatch closed.

Good ol' Kornet or lancet should do the trick with this cv90.

Looking forward to seeing the Mk4s in Ukraine. A couple of hundred would be a good start.
