Bgbv-82

Notes: This is a Swedish armored recovery vehicle that bears a passing resemblance to an M-113, but is in fact a different vehicle. It was designed in 1973 to recover the S-Tank and similar-sized armored vehicles. The Bgbv-82 can also double as an engineer vehicle to clear obstacles and to prepare river-crossing points. The Bgbv-82 mounts a cupola with a 20mm autocannon (identical to that on the Pbv-302), and shares many automotive components with the Ikv-91 tank destroyer. The gunner has a sight equal to binoculars in power. On each side of the turret are eight smoke grenade launchers. The driver has a hatch in the center front of the deck, the commander is to the right of the driver with his own hatch, and the turret is to the left and rear of the driver. The winch operator is to the rear of the driver inside the hull, and has an overhead hatch on the deck. When two ground spades are lowered at the rear of the vehicle, the winch may pull with 60 tons of force and 145 meters of cable. The Bgbv-82s crane may lift 5 tons if extended 1.8 meters, 3.5 tons if extended 2.5 meters, and 1.5 tons if extended 5.5 meters. The Bgbv-82 also has a dozer blade in the front of the vehicle for bracing, digging, and area preparation. The Bgbv-82 is equipped with a large selection of tools, such as wheeled vehicle, tracked vehicle, basic, and excavation tools.

Brobv-941

Notes: This is a Swedish short-span AVLB mounted on the same chassis as the Bgbv-82 recovery vehicle. In this role, the vehicle is topped with the equipment to launch a single span bridge that is 15 meters long and has a capacity of 50 tons. The bridge weighs 7 tons. The bridge takes 5 minutes to lay or recover, and the crew may remain under armor protection during these operations. The Brobv-941 is amphibious; when it swims, the bridge is towed floating behind the vehicle.

CV-90 ARV

Notes: This vehicle is known in Swedish service as the Bgbv-90. It is an armored recovery variant of the CV-90 IFV. In this role, the turret is deleted, and a crane and winch are mounted in the vehicle. The crane is able to lift 6 tons, and the winch is able to pull 72 tons to the front, 36 tons to the rear, and 9 tons to the side. For maximum pulling efforts, the vehicle must be braced with the dozer blade. Two banks of six smoke grenade launchers are provided.

Skorpion/Bv-206

Notes: This minelayer was produced for Sweden by Germany prior to the Twilight War, in small numbers, to allow minelaying in snowy conditions. In this role, the rear module of the Bv-206 has four minelayer modules, containing a total of 400 mines. A self-destruct may be programmed, and densities of 0.05 to 0.3 may be laid. Mines are ejected obliquely to the rear, on either side. A typical vehicle can lay a minefield with a density of 0.2, 1000x50 meters, in 4 minutes. Typical mine is an antitank mine, though antipersonnel mines may also be laid.
