Sweden's largest military assistance package: What is the importance of CB90 combat boats for the Armed Forces

It envisages the supply of 16 speed shock boats Stridsbåt 90 (CB90), which are designed to strengthen the river and coastal potential of Ukraine, which is especially important against the background of hostilities along the Dnieper and in the Black Sea. On January 30, the Swedish Government press service reported. CB90, originally developed by SAAB for Sweden Navy, is a high -speed military landing vessel currently using several countries.

The boat is known for its exceptional speed and maneuverability - CB90 can perform sharp turns at high speed, slow down to a complete stop for only 2. 5 lengths of the boat and adjust the angles of tangag and the roll while driving. Light weight, low sediment and double waterlands allow him to develop speeds of up to 40 knots (74 km/h) in small coastal waters. In this case, the course of the course is 300 nautical miles at speed of 20 knots.

The design of the boat involves a rapid deployment, which makes it a valuable asset for the delivery and landing of troops, transportation of equipment and fire support in a dynamic combat environment. It is also equipped with several weapons, machine guns, grenade launchers and modular systems for installing additional weapons, such as anti -tank or anti -aircraft complexes.

Army recognition observers write that CB90 is ideal for operations on the Dnieper and its tributaries, where the rapid movement of forces in intensive fighting is important. These boats will allow Ukraine to intercept Russian convoy, destroy the supply points, and plant special purpose groups for deep rear sabotage operations. In addition to the Dnieper, Ukraine continues to fight for control of the Black Sea coast.

Having lost most of the fleet, the Armed Forces adapted to asymmetric methods, using sea drones, rockets and sabotage groups. CB90 boats will complement this arsenal, allowing you to quickly strike, evacuate fighters under fire, and maintain amphibian raids. Thus, Sweden's decision to supply these boats emphasizes the support of Ukraine in adaptation to the modern war, where maneuverability becomes a key advantage.
