An armoured combat vehicle described as one of the best in Sweden’s infantry fleet is getting a new variant added to its ranks - named after the power of a God.

The Combat Vehicle 90, or CV90, has been developed to create the CV90 Mjolner variant, fitted with a 120mm self-propelled mortar system.

The Mjolner variant, named after the hammer of Thor from Norse mythology, integrates a new turret with two mortars on the original chassis design of the infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) for the Swedish Armed Forces.
