STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Sweden, Lithuania, Norway and Finland are looking into making a coordinated acquisition of BAE Systems’ CV90 infantry combat vehicle, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Tuesday.
Kristersson told a joint press conference with his Lithuanian counterpart Gintautas Paluckas that the countries discussed buying “several hundred” CV90s, and that a statement of intent on cooperation for the vehicles was being drafted.
The CV90 is produced by a Sweden-based subsidiary of Britain’s BAE Systems, Europe’s biggest defence company.
