Personally I would like to see the EU invest in more American tanks instead.

Classic work struggles. Swedes sent out their CVs and got completely ignored and/or got an automated rejection reply.

Because why not? It’s an effective, reliable and survivable platform.

Our defense industry is booming!
(that’s a good thing, Europe needs a strong domestic defense industry)

Anything but USA built

It’s a fine piece of machinery, plus it is built from european components in this uncertain age.

Because the CV90 design is future proof, very mobile and compact looking. Some IFV designs are very bulky.
Our CV9035NL got an MLU upgrade that makes it practically a CV90 MkIV.

The real taken away is it is an Nordic initive of multiple countries. Then large nummers are not that noteworthy.
This is what EU defense needs. Max. 2 types of what ever we buy in Europe.

UK needs this desperately lol.
All of europe needs to start getting economies of scale on these platforms and drop the national pride. One IFV and get like 10,000 of them made, one MBT, a few aircraft but large orders from the whole area. Thats how you get scale.

I’ve driven this bad boy of a machine. One of the only tanks I would choose to survive a war.

The CV90 is a top-of-the-line combat proven vehicle.

Is this article AI? What happened there at the end where they repeat basically the same thing?

What the EU need, is to standardise and scale up.
You like the CV-90? Good. Now mass-produce it in a joint effort, spread out the factories.
The issue is that we have a very fragmented arms-market, which means it’s very hard for us (Europe) to do something at scale. We’re good at making weapons, we just need to become more unified.
Yes, CV-90 is great, but we need to be able to pump out the numbers, and my little country (Sweden) where they are mainly produced, can’t keep up if we ought to distribute them to all of Europe. Same goes for the Archer system, if we’d want more of that..
What I want to see, is a more structured and coherent defence-industry in Europe. We are more than capable to achieve something like that.
