Russia's Special Operation in Ukraine

Watch: First Swedish CV90 Infantry Fighting Vehicle Turns Into Russian Military Trophy

The Combat Vehicle 90 was designed by the Swedish Defense Ministry for operations in a harsh Nordic climate. In January 2023, Stockholm announced the transfer of dozens of these war machines to Ukraine.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense published footage that shows a captured Swedish CV90 Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). Western media dubbed this vehicle as “the queen of IFVs” due to its defenses and firepower – and yet it was struck by Russian soldiers with an RPG-7 handheld grenade launcher.
In a first, a CV90 IFV has turned into a Russian military trophy. There is no doubt that Russian engineers and scientists will study it piece by piece, ferreting out all its vulnerabilities and inventing new ways to combat it.
