Ukraine's New Weapon: Sweden-made Monstrously Powerful 'CB90' Fast Assault Craft

Sweden and Netherlands will provide 13 CB90 fast assault crafts to Ukraine in 2024 (10 Sweden and 3 Netherlands).

The CB90 is an extremely fast and agile boat capable of carrying and deploying a half platoon of amphibious infantry (18 men) fully equipped. It is equipped with twin water jets that allow it to operate in shallow coastal waters at speeds of up to 40 knots (74 km/h) and to slow down from top speed to a complete stop in 2.5 boat lengths.

Swedish hyper technology! I'm happy that we Greeks have obtain these fantastic vessels! I'm also happy that soon our Ukrainian brothers will also add them to their armory, and I wish them, the very best!

Sweden has one of the best coastal vessels...in addition with ifv, arty and fighters

I have seen these in action in Norway.
Very capable craft. They take sea well, fast as F and and well made.

Damn Vikings can sure build a mean fighting ship!

A modern Viking long boat, I want one 🤘

[spacemanspiff]

Wow! This boat is one svelte beast! It’s certainly a modern day nod to its Viking heritage.

Beastly and fast looking boats; get in, do the thing, get out!

Excellent craft for modern highly mobile warfare. Well done Sweden. SLAVA UKRAINI. I am always amazed at the array of incredible weapons produced by Sweden. Excellent. Welcome to NATO.

Seeing those guys "storming" the beach reminds me of some of the maneuvers we had in the Marine Corp! We only had 6 magazines of blank ammo each, so shooting full auto was out of the question if you wanted to remain "alive." You run out of ammo and you're automatically "dead!" I was in charge of taking "captured" enemies back to base. We let them keep their weapons, because they were responsible for them, but I confiscated all of their blank ammo. Towards the end, when everyone was low on ammo we knew the enemy would rush us and I handed out all of the "extra" ammo. When they came we waited until they were close and started firing full auto! The referee was laughing his butt off as he declared their whole enemy team was dead! This was at Camp Geiger, North Carolina during Intensive Combat Training in 1973! After that they changed how the "extra" ammo was dealt with! LOL!!!

THANKS A MILLION SWEDISH CITIZENS, LOVE YOU

[TheFrewah]

I remember seeing these passing by in the Swedish archipelago. I’m happy Ukraine has some of them now

[fnordianslippers]

The stopping distance is very impressive.

[heilerko]

This craft is awesome, SAAB really knows their stuff. Welcome to NATO Sweden!

[householdemail]

That’s a hard reverse thrust. Stops good though

[SanctuaryLife]

Wow Sweden makes cool gear doesn’t it? Even Australia I recall we have borrowed or bought designs for things designed in Sweden. Go Sweden, we will need you.

Swedes first arrived in eastern Europe a thousand years ago, establishing the trading post now called Kyiv, and are referred to as the Kievan Rus (red). Muscovy was then a swamp. Still is. Nice to see them reestablishing ties.

[mjawp]

That stopping power is impressive...Very!

[johnspruit]

Fantastic Commando attack Boat for Crimea . Don't waste them on the Dnipro River where there are too many Orc drones. Wish they had TOW missiles or similar, not just machine guns ???

[dwphjbr]

1, 000's of yrs of vessel building experience, they look agile, Scandinavian know boats

3:52 - coming in at you at a great rate of speed then a full stop merely a few feet away is both impressive & scary.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
