As part of the Western military assistance provided by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Swedish-made CV9040 BMP was highly appreciated by the independent army.

Ukrainian soldiers put the Swedish CV9040 BMP in the first place among the combat vehicles donated by the allies

- it is noted in the publication Army Recognition.

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

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

- the publication says.

As indicated, in terms of protection and firepower, the CV9040 is second to none. In particular, the equipment is equipped with powerful armor that allows it to withstand attacks by Lancets, UAVs and 120 mm mines. It is complemented by the Barracuda camouflage system, which significantly reduces the heat footprint (allegedly by 70%) in order to avoid detection by the enemy. Thanks to this "cape", the BMP in the IR range looks like a "gray cold car".

There are cases when the BMP withstood an attack from T-90 tanks

- they assure in the Western edition.

The CV9040's armament is represented by the Bofors 40 mm automatic cannon, which provides a high rate of fire and is capable of hitting various targets, from enemy manpower to light armored vehicles. The main gun is supplemented with 7.62 mm machine guns and ATGMs.

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

Despite the numerous advantages, the CV90 ammunition is characterized as insufficient. There are only 8 shells in each of the three cartridges of the [charging magazine] of the gun

- it is noted in the publication.

It means that only 24 ammunition are ready to fire; the rest of the 220 shells are placed in the ammunition box and their use requires reloading the cassettes.

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

- it is said in the Western press.
