This is a good place to ask this question.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Swedish Army ordered the CV90 they didn't have money for both an infrared sight and gun stabilization.
They chose to get the Advanced infrared sight and forego gun stabilization.
Out of curiosity do you think that was a good choice for a vehicle to be used the wooden northern part of Sweden?
P.S. you like the Puma but that looks a lot like the CV90.
btw i'm biased having driven one for 10 months.
