The CV90 infantry fighting vehicle is combat-tested, NATO-backed, and constantly upgraded. It’s fast, modular, and has performed well from Afghanistan to Ukraine. So why hasn’t the U.S. military adopted it instead of spending billions to develop new vehicles just to cancel them?
In this video, we break down what makes the CV90 so effective, why so many allies have chosen it, and why the Pentagon keeps spending billions to build something else instead.
We’ll look at doctrine, procurement politics, and whether “not invented here” is costing us real capability.
