The photo coverage in this book is amazing. About half is Afghanistan. In fact, the Afghan chapter iteslf could make a book on its own. The author needs to be congratulated for compiling such an interesting collection.

 

The Combat Vehicle 90 (CV90) was designed in Sweden in the mid-1980s/early 1990s. The CV9035DK has now been in Danish Army service for more than a decade.
The aim of this publication is to primarily focus on the comprehensive and intensive use of the small number of Danish vehicles serving abroad.
This includes trials and early gunnery training in Sweden, climate tests in South Africa, participating in NATO exercises in Norway, Lithuania and Spain, gunnery competitions in Germany, and years of combat deployment to Afghanistan.
It concludes with the vehicle’s current international role as part of the Enhanced Forward Presence by NATO in Estonia.

Many photos have been contributed by crew members themselves.
