  3. Swedish stuff looks most times a little bit like german ww2 era stuff- but on steroids! I like!

  5. So basically Sweden sends all their pbv302 to Ukraine? That would be nice, because if they don’t have any in their stocks left, they can send all the tools, spares and other maintenance equipment to Ukraine.

  6. Interesting. Seems very similar to the YPR Netherlands sent. 

  8. That is a lot of APC. Arctic lvl gear. better than USA. if they can come before winter. and get ready. we will get a winter offensive.

  9. They aren’t sending gripen yet since other Nato countries want the F-16’s to be the focus right now

  10. Im pretty sure we dont have 500 302’s but if we do. Send em all!

  11. Why are you making up numbers? 180 PBV302 where mothballed when it was taken out of service 2014. 80-100 units remaining will be sent to ukraine.

  12. Well done. The AWACS must be a pretty big deal. It’s amazing that we’re giving them two!

  13. The Pbv 302 had a crew consisting of a driver, a gunner, and a vehicle commander. In addition to the crew, there was room in the vehicle for **nine fully equipped soldiers** or **1,200 kilograms of material**. The vehicle was armed with a **20 mm Hispano Suiza HS 804 automatic cannon (m/47D)** mounted in a turret on the left side of the front. Troops transported inside the vehicle could engage attackers through the roof hatches. At the rear of the vehicle, there were two doors for soldiers in the rear compartment to enter and exit. These doors were also used for loading when the Pbv 302 was used for material transport. 

    [**Thanks to its fully welded chassis, the vehicle could be driven over water without significant preparation, with a water speed of approximately 8 km/h**](https://www.forsvarsmakten.se/sv/information-och-fakta/materiel-och-teknik/avvecklade-materielsystem/pansarbandvagn-302/)
