Hägglunds CV90 Mk II series IFV continues as the vehicle gets new
upgrades preparing it for the latest threats. Since entering service

and Switzerland. Netherlands became the fifth country to operate the
vehicle; the first of 184 ordered will be
delivered in 2007. The Dutch configuration will be armed with a
35mm/50mm cannon. At DSEi 05 the vehicle was shown installed with a new
modular appliqué armor kit, developed by RAFAEL. The armor suit can be
adapted to meet specific threats including mines, horizontal HEAT and
kinetic energy (KE) projectiles and top attacks. The vehicle will also

warning, radar and missile approach warning. According to Rafael, this
new-generation armor is based in part on its new insensitive reactive
armor, combined with various types of passive armor appliqués.

Menurut
pendapat pribadi saya akan lebih bagus AMX 13 daripada di up grade
mending diganti semua dengan kendaraan tempur jenis CV90 AFV / Armor
Upgrade ini karena teknologinya jelas lebih baru daripada AMX 13 tapi
memang sayangnya buatan BAE Systems yang rawan embargo.
