Sweden will provide Ukraine with Archer self-propelled guns, 50 CV90 APCs, and NLAW, - Ministry of Defense
Sweden will transfer about 50 CV90 infantry fighting vehicles and Archer self-propelled artillery installations to Ukraine.
As reported by Censor.NET with reference to LIGA.net, this was announced by the Minister of Defense of the country, Paul Jonson.
According to him, Sweden will send Ukraine up to 50 CV90 APCs, an unspecified number of Archer self-propelled guns, as well as NLAW anti-tank systems. He noted that the training of Ukrainian fighters on the systems should take place within several months.
"The expected effect of this package is to better arm Ukraine for ground combat. The mentioned platforms are intended for ground combat," the minister said.
Jonson said that the Archer self-propelled guns will be a good addition to the systems that are already in place in Ukraine.
The Prime Minister of Sweden, Ulf Kristersson, also emphasized that Western democracies will not lose their unity, as Russia expects.
"Extensive support from the US and other countries is absolutely necessary. Unity between the US and the EU was as important as unity within the EU," he concluded.
