Teh Pansarbandvagn 302 (Pbv 302) is a Swedish-designed infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). Developed by Hägglund & Söner, it served as the Swedish Army’s primary IFV from its introduction in 1966 until it was replaced by the CV90 series. Although its capabilities are more akin to an armored personnel carrier (APC) by modern standards, its design was highly effective for the operational conditions of the time.
Key Features and Design
- Κινητικότητα: The Pbv 302 was engineered for high mobility in Sweden’s challenging terrain. Its wide tracks provide low ground pressure, allowing it to traverse bogs and snow effectively. It’s also fully amphibious with minimal preparation.
- Μηχανή: It’s powered by a Volvo 10-liter diesel engine that produces 270 hp, giving it a top speed of 66 km/h on roads and a range of about 300 km.
- Οπλισμός: The main weapon is a 20 mm Hispano-Suiza type 804 autocannon mounted in a one-man turret. This cannon is effective against other infantry and light armored vehicles. Later variants were updated with internal racks for anti-tank weapons.
- Crew and Troops: The vehicle has a crew of three (commander, driver, and gunner) and can carry an infantry squad of eight troops. Troops can dismount through two large doors in the rear or fight from within the vehicle using two large roof hatches.
- Armor: The armor is made of 23 mm of welded steel on the front. Later versions, such as the Pbv 302B and Pbv 302C, were upgraded with spalling liners and external armor for improved protection.
Ιστορικό λειτουργίας
The Pbv 302 was a foundational vehicle for the Swedish Army for many years. It was deployed on various international peacekeeping and security missions, including in Kosovo. While it has been largely superseded by the more advanced CV90 family of vehicles, a number of Pbv 302s have recently been provided to Ukraine as military aid, where they are being used as armored troop transports.
