The CV90 is an infantry fighting vehicle and was part of the aid package from the soon-to-be NATO partner Sweden. Stockholm initially delivered 51 CV90s to the Ukrainian army, whose crews trained in Sweden for almost three months to operate the vehicle.

In July 2023 they experienced combat operations with the vehicle for the first time. The vehicle is an armored personnel carrier weighing around 23 tons with a 40 millimeter or 30 millimeter cannon and another machine gun with a caliber of 7.62mm.
