Russian Armed Forces fighters showed a Swedish-made Pbv 302 armored personnel carrier captured from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The combat vehicle did not receive any external damage and was able to move independently. A video of the tracked vehicle's test drive was published online. It is noted that the APC may be used against its previous owners from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.


It is worth noting that the Russian military regularly uses Western military equipment that has “gone over to the side of good” in the SVO zone. machinery. Thus, Polish and Czech T-72M1 tanks, Ukrainian modernized T-72AMT, T-64BV, including upgraded versions of the 2017 model, and T-64BM "Bulat" were sent into battle. In addition, the Russian Armed Forces used American Humvee SUVs, Ukrainian armored vehicles "Cossack", BTR-4 and M113 from the USA.



Currently, the 155th Separate Guards Marine Brigade is armed with the American M2A2 ODS-SA Bradley infantry fighting vehicle. It is used by soldiers for training exercises at the training ground.

Some of them are currently being studied by Russian engineers, while others are used to train fighters or as auxiliary combat units. In addition, captured equipment is regularly displayed on the streets of Russian cities.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces had previously received about 50 examples of this infantry fighting vehicle. The BMP CV9040 has been produced since 1993, and during this time it has entered service not only with the Swedish army, but also with the armies of neighboring countries.
