“They can withstand the attack of the T-90 tank”: the Ukrainian military prefers the Swedish CV9040 infantry fighting vehicles

As part of Western military assistance provided by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Swedish-made CV9040 infantry fighting vehicle was highly praised by the Independent Army.

Ukrainian soldiers place the Swedish CV9040 infantry fighting vehicles in first place among the combat vehicles donated by the allies

- noted in the publication Army Recognition.

The Swedish Ministry of Defense in January 2023 announced its third and most significant military assistance package to Ukraine, which, in particular, included the transfer of CV90 infantry fighting vehicles and Archer wheeled self-propelled howitzers

The CV9040, known in the Swedish Army as the Strf 9040, represents the pinnacle of IFV development, combining mobility, protection and striking power in a powerful platform.

- says the publication.

As stated, in terms of protection and firepower, the CV9040 is unmatched. In particular, the equipment is equipped with powerful armor that allows it to withstand attacks from Lancets, UAVs and 120-mm mines. This is complemented by the Barracuda camouflage system, which significantly reduces the heat signature (claimed by 70%) to avoid detection by the enemy. Thanks to this “cloak”, the BMP in the IR range looks like a “cold gray car”.

There are cases when an infantry fighting vehicle withstood an attack from the side tanks T-90

- they say in the Western publication.

The CV9040's armament includes a 40mm Bofors automatic cannon, which provides a high rate of fire and is capable of hitting a variety of targets, from enemy personnel to light armored vehicles. The main gun is complemented by 7,62 mm machine guns and ATGMs.

In addition to the high combat effectiveness of the CV90, the Ukrainian military notes the ease of use and maneuverability of the vehicle.

Despite its many advantages, the CV90's ammunition load is characterized as insufficient. Each of the three cassettes [loading magazine] of the gun contains only 8 shells

- noted in the publication.

This means that only 24 rounds of ammunition are ready for firing; the rest of the 220 shells are placed in the ammunition rack and their use requires reloading the cassettes.

But in general, the Ukrainian military is very satisfied with the CV9040 and prefers them to other Western armored vehicles

- said in the Western press.

You can’t praise yourself, you can even withstand T-90 attacks, well, well.

[YOU]

Removed from the tongue. And so it’s a super “wunderwaffle”, apparently because Sweden is still a northern country and knows that there is snow and slush.

[Fisherman]

You shouldn’t be doing this...after all, if a tank doesn’t fire a gun at this infantry fighting vehicle and is located at a distance of 5-6 km, then this Swedish vehicle can withstand it....the machine gun won’t finish off

[neworange88]

In the northwestern defense zone, T-80BVM and T-90M hit targets at a range of up to 10 km.

The successful attack by Russian troops was caught on video, reports DEITA.RU.

The crew of the Russian T-80BVM tank hit an American Bradley infantry fighting vehicle in the Kupyansk direction. A video of the successful attack was published by RIA Novosti. It is reported that the attack on American equipment was carried out from a closed position. Noteworthy is the range and accuracy of the hit. The perfect “arrival” happened from a distance of almost 10 kilometers.

[neworange88]

In the Kupyansk direction, the crew of the Russian T-80BVM tank destroyed the American Bradley infantry fighting vehicle at an extreme range of almost ten kilometers. The tankers supported the motorized rifle attack on the enemy stronghold with fire.

“The targets are all different, mostly, of course, dugouts, trench communication systems, and also equipment,” says the tank gunner-operator with the call sign Maestro. “The range to that target was about 9,5 kilometers, I was fulfilling my task...”

A video of a sniper shot at extreme distance was spread across all Telegram channels. The footage clearly shows how the tank takes up a firing position, fires a sighting shot and, after adjustment, smashes the American Bradley to shreds.

These are isolated cases + this is not the standard combat operation of a tank.

There was a moment when Bradley extinguished the T-90! The Swedish infantry fighting vehicle can also destroy the main tank of the Russian army!

It didn’t extinguish, but damaged it. The optics and sensors were disabled, yes, but the tank remained on the move.

[Rand-76]

It was destroyed! Look closely! Cannot be restored!

[Rome]

I looked carefully. The crew of the first Bradley has level 80 luck! The first shots destroyed the control system of the T90, thanks to which it was more than once unable to hit almost point-blank range and Bradley ran away (which is what he originally wanted to do, namely to sneak through to his own). The crew of the second Bradley, of course, have iron legs, I don’t argue, but all their attempts only destroyed the onboard remote sensing, again, a successful hit in the turret, apparently the warning system about laser irradiation, because of which this system malfunctioned and the turret began to rotate uncontrollably. But the crew struggled with the circumstances, waited out the shelling, ran into a tree to block the turret and then left the car, and only after the T90 attacked the FPV drone!
So the T90, of course, found itself in a stupid situation, but it showed how strong and tenacious it is!

[savage3000]

76, you look more carefully.

Do you think the driver drove into the tree on purpose? Did you watch the video to the end? After Bradley's last burst, the tank's turret began to spin and the tank began to move towards the tree, which stopped it. Maybe the driver specifically drove into the tree to stop the tower and get out. If the tank were on the move, the driver would not be driving towards the tree, but somewhere away from these Bradleys, but in the video the tank was abandoned. 25mm BOPS make holes up to 90mm in steel, after such a shelling there is no living space there and the fact that the tracks withstood all this shelling is already a miracle, but I’m sure that the engine compartment also received quite a few hits. During the battle, the tank only moved back and forth; this, of course, can also be called “on the move” in a sense.

[lynnot]

There was a moment when Bradley extinguished the T-90!

The key word is "moment"

[Severe_gopher]

This is clear!
There was also a moment when Peter I killed the main king of Sweden...
He was called Karl 12 times there, I think.
But, due to concussion, he still did not understand where Poltava was.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

An attack, this is even when the tank simply chased the BMP. So anything can happen...

[Severe_gopher]

It depends on what intentions...)))

[Vend]

We are waiting for a video from the front of how Swedish infantry fighting vehicles are destroyed with lancets

[knn54]

The car is great, but it fell into the wrong hands.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

Why don’t you like Shoigu’s hands?

[Zaurbek]

There was a video of two Bradleys firing at a T90M. It’s good that these were not SV90 infantry fighting vehicles with a 40mm cannon. They would turn the tank into a trash

40 mm. tank guns in a colander? How is that ?
Have you tried it with a sniper rifle? Maybe that's enough?

[Smoked]

They use it in instructions, but I haven’t heard/seen it in combat for many years from conflict zones.

[Zaurbek]

If you look at the video, there are not 100% hits in the forehead of the turret and hull. And everything else will be pierced by 40mm BOPS and, yes, there are 5 cassettes. The Bofors gun is a descendant of an anti-aircraft naval gun. A relative of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun was produced in the USSR. Development of the 57mm S-60 design

[karabas-barabas]

Quote: 1976AG

40 mm. tank guns in a colander? How is that ?

You probably know about tanks and know what kind of bathtub and body kits the T-90M has? Bofors 40mm BOPS takes at least 140mm of armor steel, Bushmaster 25mm about 90mm. It is obvious that several hits with such penetration will lead to greater destruction than from 25mm, although as we see, even 25mm can cause trouble with the T-90M. Of course not through, but the sides will most likely be pierced. I’m not sure what about the 25mm Bushmaster, but the 30mm MK30 that is installed on the Pumas, or the same 40mm Bofors with the introduction of BOPS in the ammunition compartment, means working on the sides of MBTs in combat and the crews train this.

[Smoked]

Doesn’t this infantry fighting vehicle have a manually loaded cassette with 4 or 5 shells? Don't bother recharging?

[ism_ek]

Quote: Zaurbek

There was a video of two Bradleys firing at a T90M.

The main advantage of Western technology is communications. Very often we see footage that the operator of our drone monitoring the battlefield is unable to communicate with the tank.
This is exactly what happened in this case. The tank was simply ambushed. If the tankers had discovered Bradley at a greater distance, then no 40-mm cannon would have helped the BMP.

And regarding the invulnerability of the Swedish car.... In the summer they managed to capture it almost intact. After being hit by an RPG-7, the crew abandoned the vehicle.

[Dobrenko]

If I'm not confusing anything and we're talking about the same video, then first the FPV Drone blew up, and only then the Bradleys started working!

[Zaurbek]

It could have been from without FPV... The Ukrainian drone was hanging and correcting the work of 2 Bradleys...... the tank was blind and unwound. It’s strange that they didn’t use the TOU-2V, which is found in infantry fighting vehicles and penetrates very well.

Are you a drug addict or just overplayed the game?

[Zaurbek]

The drug addict is your ancestor. Look at the BOPS ammunition of the 40mm Swedish cannon and the side armor of our tanks and count the number of hits not in the tank’s forehead on the Video of the tank being shot.
This is even though the armor of all Soviet tanks is 2 times greater than Western tanks.

[savage3000]

Zaurbek, stop whining already. T 90 has 80 mm armor, plus screens, dz, + air meter.

[Zaurbek]

......feathered armor-piercing sub-caliber projectile (flight speed 1500 m/s, stated to penetrate 140 mm homogeneous rolled armor at a distance of 1500 meters)

[Sergey Tarkhov]

1500 m/s, in your wet dreams

[Zaurbek]

Not you, you... the slaves have come in large numbers...

[Rome]

The 40mm Bofors has an armor penetration of 100mm, the sides of the T90 are at least 80mm + DZ on the screens, so what projection was the CV90 supposed to penetrate the T90? In addition, Bradley seems to have belt loading, and therefore they could pour so many shells into the T90 and this made it possible to disable various systems important for combat, but the Swede has cassettes, they cannot give such a density of fire and quite likely they would not be able to inflict so quickly such damage, and then the T90 would simply shoot them point blank!
It’s a fairy tale that an infantry fighting vehicle can withstand a blow from a tank gun; even tank armor can’t withstand it, especially at point-blank range!

[Zaurbek]

How many hits were there on the sides? And how many hits will destroy the entire remote control. 40mm and 57mm are not PT tools. I was commenting on a specific event in which a 25mm Bumaster was fired and failed to penetrate? and 40mm would have penetrated.

[Rome]

The battle began not with shelling on the side, but with hits in the turret of the first Bradley, and in this episode the rate of fire and density of fire clearly played a role; most likely, the Swede with his several shells in the cassette would have done much worse because these shells might not have been enough for the withdrawal T90 control system is out of order

[Zaurbek]

Here's HZ....which is better 10-25mm or a cassette with 5 pieces - 40mm...BOPS fly in a bunch.

[Sergey Tarkhov]

You've got a bunch of cockroaches in your head, sofa expert

[Zaurbek]

Not with you, but with you, slave....

[Roman Efremov]

It’s good that it wasn’t a fighter with a Molotov cocktail - and that’s how the tanks were burned. Anything can happen in war.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The infantry fighting vehicle that is capable of withstanding a direct hit from a 125 mm T-90M tank gun, and even the T-72, has not yet been born.

[YOU]

Well, probably not a single tank can withstand a direct hit from an armor-piercing projectile from a distance of 1000 meters or less. But attempts to create heavy infantry fighting vehicles based on a tank are taking place.

[Uprun]

It can withstand a blow of 125 mm, well, well, those who write clearly haven’t tried it, and those who tried it clearly don’t write anymore.

[Fatalist]

Yes, it will not withstand 115mm and 100m shells.

[Zaurbek]

Question - which ones? and The second question is will the crew survive? And third - how likely is a fire after a hit?
This determines quality. So even a 100mm HE shell from the BMP3 will send it for repair.

[rocket757]

It’s really interesting... how many such combat units do the Ukrainian Armed Forces have? What threat do they pose to our troops?

[Murmur 55]

rocket757 , the same as any modern combat unit (if it is in skillful hands and with a thinking commander), the machine is serious, but it has more than one or two weak points, plus the scourge of all armored vehicles of our time, “birds” and strikers of the “Lancet” type. At the beginning, Bradl was praised and praised, but she was unable to change anything on a large scale.

[rocket757]

So it’s not difficult to understand, it’s not difficult to guess that the advantage of all “elusive Joes is that no one catches them or they’ve learned not to show up at all.”
It is precisely this situation that only news from the fields can clarify something for us.

[Murmur 55]

rocket757, well, some of the “elusive” ones were actually caught and “bitten” for a specific purpose. And the news from the fields, here, believe it or not.

[rocket757]

So listening, knowing opinions from different sides is in every way more useful than tumbling in the fantasies of those who are nowhere and in no way.

[Fatalist]

This thing was created by the Swedes specifically to counter our BMP1/2. That is, to withstand our 25 and 30 mm shots. guns, while at the same time it is guaranteed to hit ours with 40mm cannons.

[rocket757]

The question is, how can it withstand hits from tank guns and other weapon systems designed to destroy armored vehicles?
This is exactly what those who praised her said.

[Fatalist]

I don’t understand at all how there can be a question about how the TsV90 will withstand being hit by a tank shell. Nonsense.

[rocket757]

That's why the question is for experts to dispel yet another myth about the "elusive Joe."

[Peter1First]

Good reviews once again indicate that the captured Swede should be disassembled in Kubinka piece by piece and carefully studied!

[Murmur 55]

Peter1First , For what? The performance characteristics have been known for a long time; the secret armor is not there, why disassemble it?

Enjoy yourself - check out the news! I have to say, after all: the whole point is that the advertising lure of Swedish steel distracts from the essence against the backdrop of the enchanting shame of all sorts of Leopards, Challengers,
Abrams and other evil spirits, blazing and eclipsing the brightness of the sun! The advantages of the T-90 cannot be canceled! And Swedish infantry fighting vehicles have already experienced the power of even Soviet tanks from the last century! Evil spirits here and there again
It strains the muscles, it means the boilers will be new, - Don’t fight the Russians!!!

Attack is a vague concept. They didn’t withstand sub-caliber weapons.

Footage of the first captured CV90 infantry fighting vehicle in the Northern Military District zone has been published
Footage of the first Swedish CV90 infantry fighting vehicle captured by Russian fighters in the Northern Military District zone has been published.
LUGANSK, July 30 – RIA Novosti. Footage of the first captured Swedish infantry fighting vehicle, the CV90, has appeared in the special operation zone, a RIA Novosti correspondent reported.
The Russian military knocked out an infantry fighting vehicle with a shot from a hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher. The commander of the combat vehicle died, and the surviving members of the Ukrainian crew escaped. Soldiers of the Western Military District evacuated the damaged equipment to the rear.
Combat work of units of the 1st Tank Army of the Western Group of Forces - RIA Novosti, 1920, 28.07.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX
The Ukrainian Armed Forces were blown up by their own mines near Ugledar, the Russian military said
28 July 2023, 04: 34
The footage shows a trace from an RPG grenade hitting the starboard side - the CV90’s armor was burned through by the cumulative jet. On the outside, the BMP has the tactical sign of the Ukrainian Armed Forces - a white equal-pointed cross. The equipment is covered with a camouflage net and heat-insulating material to reduce visibility in thermal imaging devices. Inside the car, some of the inscriptions in Swedish are duplicated in Russian - this is how the gunner’s place, where the Ukrainian soldier was located, is signed.
It became known the day before that soldiers of the 20th Army of the Western Military District captured a Swedish CV90 infantry fighting vehicle in the Krasnolimansk direction for the first time.

[Lptsk]

Yes Yes. We believe. There is a video on the pipe, near Kremennaya they stuck an RPG in the front right. After that, the wunderwaffle didn’t go anywhere. And a scrap of 125, and even more so

[wladimirjankov]

There are cases when an infantry fighting vehicle withstood an attack from T-90 tanks

Well, of course, this is unlikely if a simple old RPG makes its way. But the car is certainly serious, no match for our BMP-1;2. It is not clear where the paratroopers are stationed there and how many. In practice, this is a light tank both in design and protection. If only our army had an infantry fighting vehicle with similar mine and general protection. Then our soldiers would not ride on armor, but behind it, and save quite a few of their lives.

[bone1]

We need to put those who “approve” this crap and shoot from the 90th

[Rand-76]

If Bradley can extinguish the main tank of the Russian army, then the Swedish infantry fighting vehicle will do it even more so! She has a lot of surprises!

[Clone]

There was a clear “surprise” - when two Bradleys tried point-blank to “scratch” the T-90 and nothing came of it. The only thing that saved the roosters from response was that the surveillance devices were demolished when the tower jammed from the impact of a Khokhlop drone...

[Rand-76]

Watch the video where Bradley destroyed a T-90 from an ambush, you probably just came from the moon!

[Roman 056]

Yes. It happened that a Messerschmitt was shot down with a Mosin rifle. A unique set of circumstances. But no one, not then, not now, is yelling, jumping out of his pants, that “we killed your Messers with a rifle in batches.”

[futurohunter]

Why are there a lot of haters here? The car is good and dangerous. Well protected, has a powerful gun, more powerful than the 30mm of the BMP-2. Very dangerous.
Yes, it can be fired from an RPG, and even more so from a tank, both on the side and even in the forehead. Is there at least one serial infantry fighting vehicle that is not hit by them? Just don’t talk about “Namer” and “Akhzarit” - they only exist in Israel. And this is an armored personnel carrier. And the CV-90 is an infantry fighting vehicle.
In the Patriot park, there is just such a vehicle - with a hole in the side and in the frontal armor of the turret. But this is not a tank; all infantry fighting vehicles have thinner armor.
If you compare it with other infantry fighting vehicles, the CV90 is a very good, and very dangerous vehicle. Comparable to BMP-3

[Viktor Sergeev]

The car is good, but the question is not that, but that the Ukrainian is talking nonsense about withstanding a T90 projectile.

[futurohunter]

Upvoted. If an RPG grenade penetrates, then what can we say about tank scrap?

[Roman 056]

Wishful thinking.

[Roman 056]

Well, if the advertiser had slowed down in time and not started to insist that he was holding a shell from a tank gun, then the topic would have gone unnoticed.

[Clone]

Fantastic crap! And galoshes and other settings would fly in different directions when the Swede “interacted” with our tanks.

[vindigo]

Give her a normal gun with a belt feed and an ATGM. AND KAZ. It would have turned out to be a completely normal infantry fighting vehicle. Otherwise the same Bradley will kill her in long-range combat.

[Viktor Sergeev]

They will withstand, yeah, with a weight of 35 tons and an armored space many times larger than that of a tank. There is not a single infantry fighting vehicle that could withstand a blow from a 125 mm cannon, even head-on. This requires armor at the level of a modern MBT. Covering an infantry fighting vehicle with tank armor is not realistic.
The lancet is not an indicator, it was not created to destroy tanks, and the 120 mm mine is from the same opera, but it will demolish all the attached equipment. This miracle is supported by a 30mm projectile. From all projections, if you add additional armor, the forehead will be a little stronger, but any grenade launcher or 57mm will blow it away.

[Roman 056]

They will tear off the caterpillar and slowly open it up.

[Igor Viktorovich]

Apart from the luxurious Bofors, the car is unremarkable.

[Severe_gopher]

Yes, that's clear!
There was also a moment when Peter I killed the main king of Sweden...

But, due to concussion, he still did not understand where Poltava was.

Well, yes, Abrams with one shot (T 72) and this tin can doesn’t even take T 90,

[Roman 056]

"I believe because it is absurd." As soon as they start burning them in batches, the delight will subside.

[Roman 056]

Another "wunderwaffle". Leopards and Abrams in ferrous metal, now the favorite super armored personnel carrier, can almost hold a tank gun shot at point-blank range. It may hold, but its load obviously won’t withstand it, it will smear along the sides from the inside. Even the Swedes cannot repeal the law of conservation of energy. Energy does not disappear, but transforms into another form.
