Sweden and Denmark have jointly commissioned the production of over 200 CV90 infantry fighting vehicles, with 40 units designated for Ukraine. This announcement was made on the official Swedish government website. The Swedish Defense Logistics Agency and the Danish Defense Ministry’s Procurement and Logistics Organization inked a deal with BAE Systems Hägglunds to produce 205 CV9035 Mk.IIIC vehicles, totaling $2.3 billion. The contract allocates 115 vehicles to Denmark and 50 to Sweden to replace the CV9040 IFVs previously sent to Ukraine from Sweden’s military stockpile. The agreement also includes deliveries for technological support like spare parts, logistics, and training. The Swedish defense spokesperson highlighted the training of Ukrainian military personnel on these vehicles in Sweden in 2023.
