The latest news on Sweden. In a move that highlights the deepening military ties in Northern Europe, Sweden has proposed a joint effort with Norway, Finland and Lithuania to purchase several hundred CV90 infantry combat vehicles from BAE Systems.

The announcement, made during a press conference in Stockholm, reflects a broader ambition to boost regional deterrence through shared procurement strategies, and we now know that discussions are underway to formalise the intent in writing.

This signals a step toward collective readiness in a shifting security landscape. The CV90s, developed by a Swedish arm of the United Kingdom-based defence giant, represent a potent blend of mobility and firepower well-suited for modern warfare.
