The Pansarbandvagn 302 APCs entered the 16th Armed Forces Defense Assistance Package from the Sweden Government, which was announced at the end of May this year. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine was allowed to supply the Swedish armored personnel carrier PBV 302. This was reported on the website of the department. It is noted that the APC on the tracked chassis was designed by Hägglund & Söner. He was in service with Sweden Army until 2014 and was used during hostilities in Bosnia and Kosovo.

PBV 302 also has an additional intensification of reservation by the internal anti -adhesion and external ceramic elements. The frontal armor withstands a direct hit of a 20mm projectile. The APC has a 270 horsepower diesel engine. It allows you to disperse the fighting machinery for more than 60 kilometers per hour.
