Any product Sweden makes, is done to exceed customers' expectations. Heja Sverige, our best neighbor.

[owss]

I live in Sweden and I know very well how the Swedes work. They work with intelligence, precision and unparalleled dedication. Heja Sverige!

Sweden have 260K islands, this boat was made to work among them.

[JH-lout]

These boats are made specifically for Sweden's unique coastal environment. There are very few places on earth like it, besides in Norway, Finland and a few other places. These are not optimal for the open sea or very exposed coastlines, but would work rather well on shallow river deltas.

Swedish defense forces are built around "hide and shoot and hide again and again, making maximal damage and confusion with small recourses" tactics against a bigger invading enemy (guess who) ..

American armed forces are built for attack with mega super enormous forces..its 2 very different things.. and ways of thinking

[Tom-mgr]

Gee I wish somebody would tell the Philippines about these beauties. They're the country that needs them the most at the moment

[pablomarmol]

The shipyard Sima in Peru is currently building this kind of armour patrol boat under supervision of Sweden, there will be 20.

CB-90 "Combat Boat"-90. In Sweden its called Stridsbåt-90. Strid = Combat, Båt = Boat. Correct me if Im wrong here, Stridsbåt-90 was its name in my day 😊

[martinwiren]

I was boat commander in Swedish Coastal Rangers 83/84 and had the pleasure to drive the prototype of the CB90..as the name it finally was done 1990, but since then a lot of improvements has been done...Now it is areal Bad Ass and can be equipped for different purposes. Originally it is made to put a troop of 15 men on an island / shore within one minute. Like hit and run

[Anita_original]

I have been in boats last 55 years, and I was truly amazed about how the Stridsbåt90 behaves in the sea, it is just amazingly good in rough sea. It has a superb hull shape. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity being on the helm, but riding along was enough to understand the value of that boat.

If you easily suffer from motion sickness this is not a boat for you. The maneuverability of it sure makes your stomach turn. You literally feel your intestines move while they turn it at full speed. When the boat stops..
.they slam towards your body. From full mac to full stop...1.5 boat lengths!

[garymiller]

Very versatile and capable watercraft. Interesting and informative video. Thank you! 😃😃😃😃😃

[thuddiz]

when I was in flygvapnet frivilla (swedish air defence volunteers) we got to ride in one if these, they took us for a wild ride. that boat is awesome and the rumble from the engines is amazing!

[daijme]

Makes sense. Sweden has the most islands in the world

[ArcadeMusicTribute]

Swedes make some of the best weapons and military gear. They're so overlooked. I'd buy Grippens over any U.S. Jets any time if I was in place of defence ministry of a country.

[bigswede]

We are not an assaulting nation. We are defensiv. And are damn good at it. We have showed this over and over and over again.

[Granfoss]

I’ve sat in one just for a demo ride. It’s crazy. 😍🤣

[vik]

The US Mark VI patrol boat looked like a mini destroyer, it didn't look as maneuverable as the SB90 though. They both would have a role in war, Swedish boat seems optimal for rapid infantry deployment and pickup while the US boat seem more like a gun platform you really don't want to mess with.

[jasonm.g]

My country should adquire some of those ships, it really needs them

[vanroeling]

At 4:23 it’s low DRAFT of two feet, not low drought of two feet! A drought is a dry condition due to the lack of rain!
