Russia destroys Swedish Combat Vehicle 90 in the Ukraine war

Russian troops destroyed a Swedish-made Combat Vehicle 90 July 30, 2023. The original source is the Russian Defense Forces’ Telegram channel, Intel Slava. Russian units have previously destroyed large quantities of the military equipment that NATO countries have used to support the regime in Kiev, including several German-made Leopard tanks. This was the first time an example of the Swedish Combat Vehicle 90 (9040) became a Russian war trophy. This is how one of the Russian soldiers described the event: “Two combat vehicles 90 of the Ukrainian military appeared at our stronghold and started shelling us. One of the vehicles was hit by a mortar shot as it approached our position. The commander of the vehicle was killed [...] the rest of the crew fled. The other vehicle drove away“. “Intel Slava is a Russian news aggregator covering conflicts/geopolitics and urgent news from around the world.
