The CB90, originally developed by Saab for the Swedish Navy, is a fast military assault craft, which can carry up to 20 troops and cargo, in shallow or open waters.

Three of these combat boats have been donated to the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine to help the country with its defences in the Black Sea.

But what can the CB90 do?

  6. If only they did a civilian version like most Swedish boats; the coolest boat around with soft furnishings and custom build
    What’s not to love- Ikea boat edition

  13. The issue is Ukraine may get delievery of them and start training crews in Sweeden with them. But they will never be used in combat. Why? Turkey. They're blocking any and all vessels that belong to Russia or Ukraine from going through the Dardanelles. This includes the mine sweepers that the UK have given Ukraine. They're fully manned with trained Ukrainian crews but they're currently stuck in Scotland not able to be used.

  14. ⚠️ Team FN 👊🏼
    Clearly, it's a great platform for marines… 🌊
    🇸🇪 SAAB makes practical, no-nonsense military hardware that is robust & reliable, like all other Scandinavian countries.
    – It's hardwired in their DNA…
    Thanks for sharing,
    Skol! 🍻

  19. The need for Littoral combat and the associated equipment is increasing, there is less need for deep water fleets anymore unless you are a superpower needing to respond globally. Warfare is an ever-changing function of politics.

  20. I like that remote weapons station. It would have been nice in Vietnam. On PBRs the enemies plan was always to get the machine gunners first. Especially the bow twin 50s. Nice to see the American M-2 50. It make me wonder how many exist in the worlds' militaries. Apparently Browning knew how to design.
