BvS-10

Notes: The vehicle is an armored two part articulated chassis, like the Bv-206S, but is much larger and is more heavily armored than that vehicle. The front section can seat the driver and three passengers, and has doors in the side and a hatch on the roof with a mount that can hold a wide variety of weapons, including machineguns, grenade launchers, and light ATGM. The rear section is the cargo and troop area. The engine is in the front section. In addition to the Swedish Army, this vehicle is also used by the British Royal Marines.

Twilight 2000 Story: This vehicle was slated to replace the Bv-206 and Bv-206S as the Twilight War commenced, but deliveries had just begun at the outset of the war, and only about 300 of these vehicles had been delivered at the war's outset.

CV-9040

Notes: The CV-9040, known to the Swedish as Stridsfordon 90, is Sweden's new infantry fighting vehicle. It is a heavily armored vehicle (for an IFV), with a turret mounting a 40mm autocannon. The vehicle is designed for easy servicing and the power pack can be changed in 15 minutes. The driver has his own hatch in the front deck, and commander and gunner have hatches on the turret roof. The rear passenger compartment has two overhead hatches. The CV-9040 is equipped with laser rangefinder and night vision devices. The autocannon is fed from 24-round magazines, with three available and loaded at any one time. The turret also has two 71mm mortars that fire illuminating shells to a range of 1600 meters. On each side of the turret are three smoke grenade launchers. The CV-9040 has heating and air conditioning systems for crew comfort.

The CV-9030 is the version of the CV-9040 used by the Norwegian Army. The autocannon has been replaced by a more NATO supply-friendly Bushmaster II.

Pbv-302

Notes: This is an elderly Swedish APC on which production ceased in 1971. It uses a turret with a Spanish-made copy of the German RH-202 20mm autocannon (called the Hispano-Suiza 20). The hull is double-skinned, which gives increased buoyancy and some extra protection from projectiles. The driver has a hatch on the front deck, the commander has a hatch on the turret deck, and there is a large double hatch on the deck of the passenger compartment as well as two doors on the rear. The Pbv-302 may be fitted with appliqué armor; this adds 3 to all armor faces.

The Pbv-302 Command Post Vehicle is known to the Swedish as the Stripbv-3021. It is a command post version of the Pbv-302 armored personnel carrier. It carries four radios, each with its own antenna; these radios are mounted on the right side of the passenger compartment. Additional equipment carried includes map and plotting boards. This vehicle was being phased out in favor of the CV-90 Forward Control Vehicle (Stripbv), but many were still in service in 2003.
