Previously, Russian media reported that the 20th Army Group of the Western Military Region of Russia had seized a CV-90 infantry tank developed by Sweden in the direction of Zimmerman. Russian media reported that this type of armored vehicle has become a trophy for the Russian military for the first time in special military operation zones. According to the vehicle number, this CV-90 infantry tank was produced in 2018.
The CV-90 Infantry Tank is the most advanced infantry tank currently in service in Sweden, weighing about 23 tons. Its main weapon is a 40mm machine gun, with a crew of 10 people. The crew compartment can accommodate 8 fully armed soldiers. Due to its excellent comprehensive performance, the infantry tank has also been exported to countries such as Finland and Norway.

The Swedish government announced in January this year that it would provide Ukraine with 50 CV-90 infantry tanks, specifically reinforced with armor and equipped with barracuda camouflage nets. Forbes magazine in the United States stated that this is one of the plans of Ukraine's "NATO allies" to provide military aid to Ukraine. On July 7th local time, Ukrainian Defense Minister Alexei Leznikov tweeted thanking Sweden for its assistance, stating that the Swedish made CV-90 infantry tank had arrived in Ukraine and that "top equipment for top soldiers" was ready for combat.
