Swedish combat boats loaned overseas

Combat Boat 90 (Stridsbåt)Two Swedish Combat Boat 90s (CB90) have been loaned to the UK and the Netherlands for six months.

The boats have been rebuilt so that they can be taken aboard major warships. The possibilities of military cooperation with the two countries is expected to increase as a result of the loan.

"It is a way for Sweden to be able to support military operations," Kristofer Gattberg, project manager at the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (Försvarets materielverk, FMV), told the TT news agency.
