One of the coolest things with the CV90 is that its a general platform to which you can mount all sorts of things like a 120mm tank gun, anti air, mortar, radar, armor recovery, etc. It is also designed to reduce sound / thermal profile.

Well when you're historically a neutral country without access to NATO war stock that is also a short hop from the USSR now Russia which is currently led by a guy that wants to revive that you better have a good defense plan and the weapons to back it up.

Regarding Protection. The Cv90 A/B is much better in northern Sweden where swamps are plentiful than the heavier CV90 variants because they can drive in so many places they can't. I'm not saying that more protection would be bad but mobility vs protection in northern Sweden is different from central Europe or for that matter southern Sweden. Sweden did chose to send all it's CV90C's to Ukraine wich is an up armored vehicle built for international missions which means it has a spall liner and AC amongs other things. The CV90 was originally not developed for the Mechanzied and Armored Brigades it was developed to partially mechanize the Arctic Infantry Brigades in northen Sweden. It was only with the massive cuts in the Swedish army that it started appearing in Armored and Mechanized brigades. Edit: The Cv90 used to be able to elevate to 85 degrees but that capability was lost when all vehicles where upgraded to at least the A variant which has limited three axis gun stabilization. Not all CV90 40mm variant have the programmer for 3p ammunition that is limited to the Cv90B1 Cv90C and Lvkv90 A&C The Cv90 was originally ordered on a budget which meant it was fitted for but noth with gun stabilization and 3p programmer. This was back in the days when Sweden had a massive army for it's size and it couldn't spend to much on individual weapons systems, it needed to be cost effective. The CV90 Sight is called UTAAS

Good pronounciation on Stridsfordon 90 at 1:43. I've heard so many attempts where the letters are just all jumbled together. But this was a good one. (somewhat with a english accent, but that is acceptable)

Lets just put this out there. The CV90, especially the later models are far more dangerous than the Lynx, Puma, Bradley or K21 fighting vehicles. They are more modern, the cannon is much larger (40mm) the types of ammunition 3p programmable ammunition is deadly as hell. It can air-burst at set ranges, it would annihilate every single Russian in ANY trench with ease from kilometers away. The weight of this IFV is almost as much as the Russian MBT (main battle tanks). Close to 40 Ton. The CV9040 is a highly aggressive vehicle, designed to control the initiative by staying mobile instead of slowing things down to a walk. Aggressive maneuvering is what the CV9040 is designed to do, outmaneuving vehicles and killing them in the flank and charging enemy positions to drop off soldiers right ontop of the enemy. These tactics have been part of the Swedish doctrine since the late fifties as seen in vehicles like the PBV301 and PBV302. And it was directly copied from the German playbook of WW2, where the German panzergrenadiers/dismounts fought more often than not from their halftracks, allowing them to keep pace with the tanks and also maintain initiative through aggressive maneuvering. A Bradley, Puma, K21 and so on is not designed for that type of combat. It's essentially an APC that drops off troops 100m from the fight. 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. P.S 1000 BHP in the high end version that is amphibic and extremely mobile in mudd and snow. D.S

First, it is combat tested to a much higher degree than the CV90, and secondly, there are a higher number of operators familiar with the Bradley. The Bradley is tried and tested and familiarized to a much higher level than the CV90. On the other hand, real combat data and performance is less available for opponents when it comes to fighting the CV90 giving it an ”element of surprise” on the battlefield.

Considering the amount of T-72 and T-64/62s Russia is fielding in Ukraine (and the amount of trench warfare there is) I think specifically the Swedish 40mm variant, if accompanied with a wide selection of modern ammo, is the best choice. The ability to airburst above the head of the gopniks in the trenches, and having a good shot at piercing the tanks, if they just keep hammering on target, is going to pay off.... But at the end of the day: yes, more of everything is more better!

The modularity of cv90 beats out the bradley, you can have a 35,40,30mm auto cannon versions with missles, or a 6 barrel Mortar or even a 120mm gun, thats the kind of stuff US is going for in the next ifv, modularity and future upgrade capabilities

There is a turret for the CV-90, it has internally reloaded spike missiles to deal with MBTs if they encounter them. After firing, the missile launcher retracts for reload. Posted early, saw Binkov caught the new ATGM capable turre

Russia chose to mount everything on a T-72 chassis, which turned out to be a less than ideal strategy because it gave them weight problems in situations where armour was of no concern (mobile bridges and AA systems don't really need that kind of heft), but Sweden was quick to adopt the basic concept and figured that it should be the IFV which served as the basis, so it can be up-armoured for specific roles, but left rather bare-bones in the chassis for rear echelon applications. There is even a completely "topless" variant for transport-only for when you absolutely positively need to get something somewhere or get someone OUT of somewhere despite horrible surface conditions.

CV90 easily , it comes in all forms , light tank with 105 or 120mm , APC with dedicated room for troops , engineering variant , command and control variant , true AA variant with much better elevation , 120mm mortar variant etc etc , the modularity is the winning concept. Need to go through swamps/snow - less armour. Need to go urban/thundra - more armour.

@@Luredreier excellent point. But I still stand by my earlier statement that both are good.

They both have their own Strenghs. Bradley was both designed and shines on a more OPEN large area combat, with patches of cover, and with ground beeing more stable. It actully destroyed MORE tanks then Abram tanks did during the Iraq War 2001, it's a Great weapon platform especially for most of the middle east OR American homeland type of areas of central and western USA and southern, less so with the Northerend & Eastern areas that are more forested & city scapes. CV90 is the better option in more dense operation areas, Big Forests, villages/cities, and with ground beeing more slippery. Bradleys tank capabilities in a city or Forest enviroment is worse then the CV90, because the ATGM can't work through light foliage or city scape debree, it needs clear line of sight, so if foliage blows back and fort a bit or the target getting obscured now and then by trees or rubble / buildings / walls thent he ATGM becomes useless. Meanwhile the CV90 40mm armour piercing rounds become very devestating to most MBTs in a closer style combat where they don't lose as much power over distance, a CV 90 shooting at a MBT at 200 Meters away penetrate almost any MBT from the side / read, and will very likely damage equipment heavily at the front of the MBT, it can shoot through light rubble / Foliage or even trees in rapid succession, Also the ATGM can get countered by systems like the Russian anti missle system on certain tanks because it's not a TOP down attack missile, meanwhile the 40mm cannon on CV90 with modern armour piercing rounds cannot be countered by such meassures yet atleast. The Modern CV90 also have front and side protection against 30mm, and front 35mm, The CV90 also have additonal modular armour you can load on similar to Bradley, It's not been as extensivly used so very few photos of it around. The NEW unreleased CV90 also has a module you can add to the turren (and shown in almost all footage of it) for a new modern ATGM system, Alternativly it can have a module that adds a Survailence Drone for the commander, but I find that addition less likely to see actual combat anytime, as Drones in general tend to work better as a seperate Unit for information from latest doctrine reviews of Ukraine. Another thing you might want to mention about the CV90 is the many variants of it, Recover viencle, 120mm Mortar (turrereted not open topped), 120mm Anti Tank cannon (Basically MBT cannon turren version put on it if need be, in case of lack of MBTs Roles in a desired mission), and quite a few more versions. The Ukraine has 2 type of areas, the more south parts tend to be more Open, and the more north more forested, and ofcourse there will be city/village scapes in both. Both Bradley & CV90 can work quite well for an army together, sending each one to a better suited enviroment for them, instead of each having to preform in both optimal and unoptimal situations they have.

Which vechicle is easier to maintain? Swedish vehicles in general are made for conscript users and generally simpler designs.

Imagine in a conflict if it turns out the enemy finds a way to counter for example the F16, then NATO still have Eurofighter, Rafale, Gripen etc. All eggs aren´t in one basket. This is a strength.

Bradley is a fine workhorse, and generally a good piece of equipment. But CV90 takes this. I've been debating about this, and finally, soon in Ukraine we will see what I've been saying for long time. Many people will be surprised by just how much more advanced CV90 is on the battlefield. Extreme mobility, reliability, firepower and speed with fast-aimbotting fire control system etc. bigger and smaller things combined will have synergy, that translates to stellar performance in combat. It's smart, it's precise, and built with Saab&Volvo level premium sturdy quality.

Lets just put this out there. The CV90, especially the later models are far more dangerous than the Lynx, Puma, Bradley or K21 fighting vehicles. They are more modern, the cannon is much larger (40mm) the types of ammunition 3p programmable ammunition is deadly as hell. It can air-burst at set ranges, it would annihilate every single Russian in ANY trench with ease from kilometers away. The weight of this IFV is almost as much as the Russian MBT (main battle tanks). Close to 40 Ton. The CV9040 is a highly aggressive vehicle, designed to control the initiative by staying mobile instead of slowing things down to a walk. Aggressive maneuvering is what the CV9040 is designed to do, outmaneuving vehicles and killing them in the flank and charging enemy positions to drop off soldiers right ontop of the enemy. These tactics have been part of the Swedish doctrine since the late fifties as seen in vehicles like the PBV301 and PBV302. And it was directly copied from the German playbook of WW2, where the German panzergrenadiers/dismounts fought more often than not from their halftracks, allowing them to keep pace with the tanks and also maintain initiative through aggressive maneuvering. A Bradley, Puma, K21 and so on is not designed for that type of combat. It's essentially an APC that drops off troops 100m from the fight. 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. P.S 1000 BHP in the high end version that is amphibic and extremely mobile in mudd and snow. D.S

Bradleys are good enough and exist in large numbers. They also have a powerful anti-tank capability that is important. But its biggest drawback is probably its thin tracks, heavy weight and tall profile that makes it badly suited for a muddy place called Ukraine. And its ability to deal with driving through snow is also a big problem. So for that reason is Stridsfordon 90 (CV-90) preferable. Especially if Stridsfordon 90 can add some anti-drone capabilities to Ukraine. They could be valueable to protect artillery.

I've been wanting an American configuration like that - anti-tank and anti-air together. Even throw out the infantry, use the compartment for more ammo storage, stick on in each mechanized company.

A crucial point to compare is cost... Swedish equipment always give you one hell of a bang for the buck! And you always want as many IFV's as possible to compliment your tanks. Lacking infantry protection of tanks has been one of Russia's biggest misstakes. It makes MBT's extremely vulnerable. Especially when Ukranian troops have Javelins and N-Laws. (N-LAWS are also Swedish design. Shorter range than Javelin, but does exactly the same thing, at a fraction of the cost. But they are perfectly complimenting missiles.)

Its literally called "combat vehicle". I like it. Simple and too the point (although i see how "combat vehicle" could refer to anything like the CV90 or the Bradley, to unarmoured jeeps and technicals with troops)

The Bradley has been a top tier ifv for a very long time but I am going to say that the late generation CV90’s are probably a bit better. The more recent upgrades to the Bradley are just a stop gap measure to stay effective while the army develops their next vehicle

I remember the evaluation process when Norway decided to buy new IVF's. Bradley was selected as a candidate along with several others, from the UK, Germany, etc. It failed. The CV90 came out on top by a good margin. One of the reasons the Bradley failed was it's poor off road capabilities, I think there is still a vid knocking around from the winter trials where the Bradley leaves the road and after only a few meters stops - stuck. A few years down the line I was with my TOW troop in deep snow, in the mountains, well above the treeline, when we stumbled over 4 "enemy" CV90's. This was unpleasant. The Norwegian infantry was used to armour being lower down in the valleys - where they belong. Rough terrain and the mountains is our terrain ffs! We were very surprised to see armour on our turf in such terrain and in such conditions. We were also impressed. I really wanted to drive over in our BV 206s and have a chat with them about this. But...they were the "enemy", so I pulled back to a suitable distance and position, and killed them with my TOWs "that'll teach the buggers". The BN CP was also perturbed to hear about the CV90s and initially accused me of getting the grid ref wrong. I also remember well them in Afghanistan. Good vehicles.

Bradley has the stripes. Cv90 is the young private who's learning from the old sergeant Bradleys

Isnt the CV90MKIV the latest version? Equipped with both an ATGM system as well as a drone countermeasure system

Surprised to see Binkov isn't quite up to date on the OSINT understanding of which Bradley variant is being sent: the M2A2 ODS-SA. While not officially confirmed (to my knowledge), photos of Bradleys sent seem to confirm this. The SA variant is practically the M2A3, sans Commander's Independent Viewer, but with all the networking capabilities. These I suspect will make the biggest difference in Ukraine, especially during complicated offensive maneuvers.

CV90 MK IV are far superior to the Bradley, with 16 different version, 800hp, ATGM's, a version with 120mm gun, modernized Modular armour (increased the weight to 37 tons), automatic protective systems. It's currently being tested by US as one of the alternatives to replace the Bradley.

I can't be bothered to check 800+ previous comments so this may have been mentioned earlier. If the later Bradleys (pretty much) only advantage is more ammo capacity over the CV35/CV40 the choice is simple. Unless you are only going to fight 50 cal equipped Toyota trucks I'd go with the CV every time. Having loads more ammo means nothing if you can't damage the target.

The newer genration MkIV CV90 family will include spike ATGM, aswell as other interesting features.

As a swede Im proud of what we are capable of producing. But let's conclude, the Ukrainian Army are getting two of the best IFV in the world, and that's great news.

Spike LR is way better than TOW. It doesn't only have fire and forget, but also fire and observe modes. You can fire the missile in the air and then use the missile's camera to find and lock on to target. You can use it indirectly. Problem with TOW is that you have to see the target to be able to hit it, and when you can see your target, your target can see you. If enemy tank sees your launch, you'll be dead long before the TOW reaches it: 120/125 mm round is much faster than a missile.

I saw a blown-up tank in Ukraine in November. It was armored at 60mm of steel on the sides of the main hull. It had 20-30 meters of welds that had been ripped apart from the explosion, and the turret was laying next to the tank. I think those guys did not have time to think about what was going to happen. Locals said they were Russians, which brought some comfort to me. I i also saw another vehicle that had been blown apart, which was smaller than a tank. There are people in Ukraine who sadly will be blown up into pieces while they will be sitting in their fancy western IFV's. This war will not be won without sacrifice, tears and bravery.

My conclusion: If you're planning to storm some trenches secured by infantry, the CV90 may have a bit of an advantage with its bigger gun and ability to fire fragmentation rounds. If the CV90 is the latest variant with Spike missiles, it may be better in open fields. If you don't have the Spike missiles then I think the Bradleys would be better in open fields. Imagine if you're a T72 operator, and you're told over the radio that some Bradleys are approaching your position. What can you reasonably do if you know that the Bradley has TOW missiles with a range of 4.5km. Ukraine's Bradleys have the high-range TOWs. There is absolutely no way for the T72 to hit the Bradley until it gets within 4km. Even then, it's unlikely to hit the Bradley with conventional tank rounds until it's within 3KM. By that time, There is a very high chance that the T72 will be destroyed by a TOW. If the first TOW misses then there's always the second TOW. If I were driving that T72, I'd retreat and tell my artillery to try to hit the advancing Bradleys. I'd hope that there's a crew nearby with a Kornet that could challenge the Bradley before it gets within TOW range. If the Bradley is still far away, maybe I'd ask a Lancet team to try to hit it, but I don't think this could be done very quickly unless the Lancet team was already set up in position and knew that the Bradleys were approaching. I think the only way that Russia will be able to slow down approaching Bradleys and Leopards will be with mine fields, wide anti-tank trenches, significant artillery coverage and their best ATGMs. I'm hoping that Ukraine can spot the artillery from afar with aerial recon drones and then launch their own artillery and FPV drones to challenge Russian artillery from afar. If Ukraine can eliminate artillery coverage in some positions, Russia will struggle massively to hold back approaching Ukrainian mechanized forces operating along with mine-clearing equipment.

One critical thing about the CV9040B/C not having a built in ATGM is that it's not really supposed to fight tanks with its troops mounted, but instead of course they would dismount and take up positions to use for example Javelin. It's of course a nice thing to have, and as such there are variants with ATGM being produced or being designed.

Both the Bradley and the CV90 are products of their respective nations thinking and doctrine. Though the age of the Bradley certainly is a factor, as it is a Cold War era design and the CV90 is a Post Soviet design. One thing Binion didn't mention, in addition to CV90's new ATGM launcher, is that CV90 uses many additional foreign components in it's construction. Bradley, and successor, are required to have all components made "in house". Both modus have advantages and disadvantages, the CV90 gets to pick the best of French Optics, the best German ammunition carousels, the best Finnish ERA components, ect. while the US gets only what the US can produce. But by contrast, it also means if one or some of those countries can not longer trade said items, say a large and aggressive nation state live on their borders and say they have a claim to your country, or they just decide they are done with the EU, then your gonna have a hard time getting and maintaining those components.

It can air-burst at set ranges, it would annihilate every single Russian in ANY trench with ease from kilometers away. The weight of this IFV is almost as much as the Russian MBT (main battle tanks). Close to 40 Ton. The CV9040 is a highly aggressive vehicle, designed to control the initiative by staying mobile instead of slowing things down to a walk. Aggressive maneuvering is what the CV9040 is designed to do, outmaneuving vehicles and killing them in the flank and charging enemy positions to drop off soldiers right ontop of the enemy. These tactics have been part of the Swedish doctrine since the late fifties as seen in vehicles like the PBV301 and PBV302. And it was directly copied from the German playbook of WW2, where the German panzergrenadiers/dismounts fought more often than not from their halftracks, allowing them to keep pace with the tanks and also maintain initiative through aggressive maneuvering. A Bradley, Puma, K21 and so on is not designed for that type of combat. It's essentially an APC that drops off troops 100m from the fight. 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. P.S 1000 BHP in the high end version that is amphibic and extremely mobile in mudd and snow. D.S

Hi I think its time to talk about the ZALA Lancet drone?

today the russians released footage of zala strikes destroying avengers, stormer HVM, M109 SPGs and m777s

The Brad is great and an OG but the CV90 is next level

Never thought I would get a comparison video between 2 combat vehicles from a hand puppet

Swedish engineering is insane, especially undert the 60s to the 90s

I doubt it. Mostly paid advertisement. French are way more ahead, just see the mirage2000 series or the Mirage F1. Way ahead than ikea jets.

"Swedish engineering is insane, especially undert the 60s to the 90s" Definitely the highpoint of capability...
