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.
But can it swim?
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.
What about ajax
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.
Great, now scale it out. For example, Poland has good industrial capacity and lot of auto industry. License it out and let them make their own copy.
The British Army should have adopted this instead of that General Dynamics Ajax junk.
👏👏👏
We loved this thing when I was in the armed forces. I imagine they still do.
1. It works
2. It’s not American
Because they can get spare parts at Ikea
There is quite a push for more cost effective and European machines and products. Especially for dual use systems made by groups of small and medium size companies.
I believe that there is a overall push to let emerge a resilient market of big and small companies that can easily thrive with products and experience that can be used for both the civil and military sector.
Very interesting
