It is in an interview with Radio Liberty Ukraine that the military crew lists the advantages of Swedish combat vehicles 90, or CV90 as it is also called.
– It is equipped with a good thermal camera, night vision and rangefinder. At two kilometers, the crew can hit targets around the clock, says Oleksandr.
Camouflaged from drones
In February, the Swedish support was presented in Boden and since then 50 vehicles have been sent to Ukraine.
Soldiers have since been trained on site in Sweden and Oleksandr, an experienced Ukrainian officer, can talk at length about the armored car.
– The commander has an all-round view both day and night. In addition, there is a camouflage net that makes it invisible to enemy thermal imaging cameras and drones, he says.
Zelenskyy: “We are grateful”
It is the vehicle’s high security and armor that is highly valued by the Ukrainian military. It saves the lives of the crew and plays a key role in breaking through the defense line of the Russian occupation troops.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has also praised the vehicle.
– Our soldiers are grateful, not only because they get ahead with the CV90, but because they also help save lives, he said during a press conference with Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in August.
