Sweden has announced its eighteenth support package for Ukraine, worth SEK 13.5 billion, bringing total military aid to SEK 61.9 billion since the start of Russia’s invasion. The package includes procurement and donations of military equipment, such as 146 trucks, 16 Combat Boat 90s, 23 naval weapon stations, 1 million rounds of 12.7 mm ammunition, 1,500 TOW anti-tank missiles, and CBRN protective gear.

Additionally, Sweden is providing financial support for Ukraine’s domestic production of long-range missiles and drones, training for Ukrainian soldiers through programs like Interflex, and the development of Ukrainian research and educational institutions. Part of the funds will also be allocated to the maintenance and servicing of previously donated military equipment.

The CB90 is a high-speed, highly maneuverable craft designed for coastal operations. With its lightweight aluminum hull, advanced weapons integration, and rapid deployment capability, it is well-suited for patrol, assault, and logistical support missions in Ukraine’s contested waters.
