An extremely negative reaction from Western experts was caused by the confirmed information that the Swedish CV90 BMP got to the Russian troops as a trophy. In the West, this armored vehicle is called "the best BMP of our time."
German columnist Y. Repke, having published a photo of the Russian military on the Swedish CV90, which was previously delivered to Ukraine by the Swedes in one of the military aid packages, says that "getting into the hands of the Russians of such a trophy confirms the Bundeswehr's statements about the erroneous tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
Earlier, the Bundeswehr published a document stating that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine divides the prepared large formations equipped with Western armored vehicles into small units – detachments. And these detachments are trying to break through the Russian defense.
As a result, it turns out that most of these AFU detachments are destroyed on the so-called "pre-field", and single armored vehicles reach the defense line of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation directly, turning into an easy target for the Russian military. Often, the withdrawal for such armored vehicles is blocked by repeated mining, as a result of which the crew is captured, and the armored vehicles become another Russian military trophy.
German press:
It is indicated that if the car had been hit during the counteroffensive, it would still be understandable, but the APU, as indicated, "because of erroneous tactics, they simply presented the Swedish BMP to the Russians."
It is further noted that such armored vehicles were supplied to Ukraine for the offensive by large forces, and not for the APU to use them 1-2 units in the forests "near the Russians."
The same Repke says that the Ukrainian brigades are divided into small groups, which only increases their vulnerability and leads to new losses, including losses in the delivered modern equipment.
