Oh this is just the beginning. A.I combined with AR UI's in helmets, and vehicles with some type of goggles, then it's going to get crazy, you literally can see your own units like in a videogame, it kind of is already there on some systems.
I was just thinking a few days ago, why don't advanced fighting vehicles come with their own drone for better visuals ahead of them, and here someone has already thought of it and made it already. This unit here actually looks legit useful in a modern war.
Problem is EM signature, most advanced nations likely including russia have systems that can, in pairs, pick up and pinpoint effectively any radio communication (personal radios, drone communication, air to ground and air to air radars) meaning the moment you launch it your location will be known. While russian integration isn't the best they will still likely be able to notify any nearby units within minutes to your exact location. Also, drones can be jammed quire easily, properly used radars are much harder to jam.

@@JoeOvercoat the Akeron locks on a target, like the Javelin, a moving target doesn't need manual corrections to be done by the gunner.

I am happy to see Bae pushing the akeron. Whenever possible I think Europe should buy and invest in European tech. The spike is great, but it is best to keep a healthy local arms industry. Look at the aerospace and production lines for tanks and ammo. The capability is just not there to produce to requirements as the industry has not being sustained by large enough order. Protecting a nation with ~100 tank and fighter jets is optimistic and short sighted.
Israel has blocked Spike from being supplied to Ukraine. Therefore the German version (MELLS) is blocked. Could you imagine what a mess Ukraine would be in if the US had of relied on Spike? Spike is a more modern weapon than Javelin so the result is nearly twice the range, better penetration and accuracy.
@@williamzk9083 spike is many different systems and good systems. Spike SR is the man portable version, it is fairly comparable in range. I don't understand the reason for the reliance on foreign missiles when Europe has a plethora of valid options. One of which is the Akeron.
Indeed. A cooperation between BAE and MBDA in Europe makes so much sense. I'm a bit sad that the MBDA logo never appears on the video. It would show the strength of Europe (EU) together...
@@furtivedig German have to suck up to the Israelis. Israeli defence industry purchases German companies. It’s severely hampered Germanys ability to help Ukraine.

@@magnushelin007 Varför ska skicka grejer till Ukraina när vårt land går på knäna? Helt idiotiskt. Vi behöver pengarna själva och försvaret för den delen.
Give a country 500 of those, no need for a MBT. At this point, the CV90 is the best IFV in the world besides the PUMA(when it works). Amazing piece of machinery, and so good looking.
@@51TGM71 Not really, a MBT cant take any real hit anymore and the CV90 comes with a active protection system. The time for the MBT has come, same as with the battleships. But oppinion matters and i respect yours.
@@Thor_Asgard_ This argument is pretty basic and comes from a lack of understanding combined arms tactics. IFV have less armour since its function is troop carrier and mobility is its strength. There is a reason why tanks take the lead on any column or attack (to draw fire and withstand potential mines). Without MBT you would see far far more destroyed IFV and we all ready see more destroyed IFV than MBTs.
@@51TGM71 I agree... the notion that heavily armoured vehicle is outdated comes from rather poor understand on how things work. The role of heavily armoured vehicles and their use might change to some degree or the ratio of the different types of vehicles you want. But that is far from saying tanks are no longer important, that is just ignorant. The capabilities of the CV90 are just going to be enhanced when working along side a heavily armed tank and so will the tanks performance.
The CV90 Mjölnir firing a 120mm GPS/laser guided HE and/or HEAT mortar round could use the same drone to identify and precisely locate multiple targets. With the ability to fire 16 rounds in the first minute, it could fire 4-6 mortar rounds in the span of about 15-20 seconds and target multiple targets rather than just one. And those rounds can be a mix of HE and HEAT, so the same salvo can be targeted at troops in the open or in open top trenches, soft skinned vehicles and building with command posts or ammo caches with HE and armored IFV and MBT with HEAT rounds. The 2-3m CEP of GPS rounds is close enough for the HE rounds. And if the drone has a laser designator, the less than 1 m CEP of laser guided HEAT rounds can impact on the thinner top armor of IFV and MBT. And if there are several tanks/IFVs, then multiple HEAT rounds fired at intervals just far enough apart for the drone to switch targets. Then in a single fire session several MBT/IFV could be targeted and destroyed before the Mjölnir equipped vehicle needs to scoot to avoid any counter battery fire that might be headed their way. Even more importantly it could do all of this from several kilometers away completely hidden behind terrain or other obstacles without having to expose itself to achieve the line of sight that an ATGM requires. Remember, if you can see them, they can see you, and a MBT's 120mm-125mm main gun round traveling at 1700 m/s (Mach 5) is about 6 times faster than your subsonic ATGMs. So while your ATGM might still kill the tank, if it fires soon enough after the ATGM fires, its last act might be to fire the round that kills you too. So while the traditional image of mortars is that of an area saturation weapon not at all suited to taking out small, well armored target like a MBT or IFV, the precision guidance kits now available for only about $6,000 each that can screw into the nose of standard 120mm mortar rounds can turn a mortar into a high precision weapon for far less than the $200,000 each for an ATGM like the Javelin.
@@znail4675 STRIX is very cool since it has its own infrared seeker that it uses to guide itself to any armored vehicle within the area it can maneuver to. And it can tell the difference between an intact tank and one that is on fire and hit the one that hasn't been hit yet. So a mortar carrier could fire several at a cluster of tanks and each round will find its own target so in the ideal fire three STRIX round, kill three tanks/IFVs But what does the STRIX cost per round? If, as a dedicated round in the same vane as the 155mm Excalibur, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't cost $50k per round. If so, you are back into the position of saving your STRIX rounds for a "special occasion". With the very low cost precision guidance kits that can turn every mortar round into a precision guided munition the potential to have every shell fired be a precision guided round becomes a cost effective possibility.
@@brigadgeneralvoid2508 its capable of both. Akeron MP was already tested with micro drone in BLOS mode in Cyprus. It was guided remotely by the micro drone and hit target at 4+ km. Its exact range is also a mystery as MBDA claims "more than 4km" in their brochure and it has already hit target at 5km.
@@51TGM71 No... Sweden only have Mk.0 platforms... but that is not what matters. The one being sent are upgraded to the latest international standards and are really powerful small tanks, they have a combat weight of around 35 tons... a T-72 is about 40-45 tons... ;) Even the Mk.0 can easily be upgraded to modern standards, that is one of the benefits of the CV90 vehicle family of vehicles as far as I know.
One of the biggest game changers for IFVs and tanks, will be internally operated drones that the vehicle can carry. Normally the main weakness of an AFV is lacking situational awareness, making the vehicle weak to ambushes. And in NATO doctrine, it calls for infantry to cover the vehicles so they detect any hidden ambushes etc. But with drones carried by the AFV, an operator inside the vehicle can easily see what is around them from a bird's eye view. The gunner and commander could be looking through the thermal sights of the vehicle, driver is driving, and a fourth member of crew could be responsible for scouting with a drone.
@@Solveig.Tissot What problems? Spike is superior to the Akeron in every way lmao, range, penetration, battle proneness. That's why all NATO countries and all the strongest militaries use it.
I wonder if the drone sits in some kind of enclosed compartment, because otherwise it would be destroyed by the branches, the dust and mud and the percipitation. Also i wonder if the drone can land back and recharge.
From my observations of the moment the missile being launched, I paused rewind replay a couple of times, the AKERON really resembles the Rafael SPIKE ATGM.
They are similar but the akeron is much newer and unlike the spike isn't currently blocked from being used in Ukraine plus it's made by MBDA France so it is a very well designed missile
Is there a CV90 variant that carries a turreted howitzer, a self propelled artillery gun unit? I am familiar with the Advanced Mortar System (AMOS) - Twin Barrel 120mm Mortar version of the CV90 and I think that is a fantastic system that I would marry with units at a very low level, but a significantly longer ranged artillery system is needed as well for higher echelon.
AMOS was used during test eval for Swedish army but budget constraints made them settle for Mjölner which is simpler but still gets the job done. The Finns put a single barrel on their Patria which is named NEMO
Is it possible to fire these from out of cover. For example, there is a treeline or a hill between target and launch platform. But via the drone, you can laser the atgm to the target? If so. I'll take 20
@@hex1c but not yet against the agressor it was built to stop. I hope it serves our Ukrainian friends as well or better than originally intended when it is deployed in it's full capacity.

Missile heatprint gave it away first. Flairs makes another randomized heatprint and the smoke is often used to move infantry into position. Multipurpose feature really.
I assume to hide IR signature, prevent it from being lasered, and to hide it visually. While the smoke screen gives away its general location, though the missile probably already did that, the smoke might hide it from enemy drones?
@@fuzer4047 Last I heard, they ironed out a lot of the issues with the Puma lately. It's an impressive piece of kit but the CV90 holds that edge of being properly combat proven as well as continuously perfected upon. Soon, with the data gathered from use in Ukraine, it will become even better
Very happy that we are sending some CV90's to Ukraine. They really need them. Seems Ukraine is getting some tanks too. So liberation of more land should be possible. 💛💙
Germany has Puma (which is too small for anyone over 183cm and Rheinmetall has Lynx. Both are very good weapons as good as CV90. Germany needs to buy them, that’s all.
Does the drone launch off a protected enclosure? ie. Can you position it on a platform, and have the platform open up or rotate outwards from the interior to the exterior? Or does a crewmember just place it on the turret roof while unbuttoned? I assume they carry more than one drone....do they have a dedicated drone operator, because that takes a lot of concentration? Also, how does one reload the missile launcher? Is that done internally by an autoloader, or by the crew, or attached troop element (like the Bradley?) Can it fire on two targets independantly, ie. two missiles in the air at once? So many questions.....I'm sure some Warthunder player will leak all the details at some point though :)
The launcher is manually reload from inside. I must say that i though that each new CV90 had either a/one drone or a launcher. I guess the system is to new to have all facts shown on UA-cam.
looks like a really impressive ifv the best in the world in my opninion i would love for sloveniaan armed forces to get them its looking for a ifv so i guess get in touch with the slovenian ministry for deafence

MBDA really made a great product with that one. So happy to see the Akeron being integrated on such a great IFV.
It's a bit weird that the logo of MBDA doesn't appear on the footage though. But when Europe (EU) work together, they can really accomplish awesome things.
BAE is one of the owners of MBDA, though.
As a French I really hope we can continue to cooperate with other EU nations for defense, especially for the scaf and joint tank programs. MBDA has proved the potential of inter European defense projects.
@@ЦзинКэ-ы5х But that's not much relevant. MBDA is co-owned by Airbus, BAe and Leonardo but the Akeron MP is a French product. BAe isn't rrelevant in this case. It is manufactured by MBDA France, the French division of MBDA.
The company as a whole is European (created from a merger of French, British and Italian missile companies, with some German and Spanish assets acquired later) and headquartered in France. But it still has national divisions.
@@Itachi951000 Exact, Akeron is a MBDA project for France's needs, and supervised by the MBDA's french division. It's like the MBDA Brimstone missile, which has been developped by the MBDA british division for the Royal airforce needs.

@@MrAntaresX The tactics of the Second World War are effective even in our time, but only under the condition of multiple numerical superiority of the troops and the absolute absence of pity for their lives
They should hook it up to a PS5 controller. It has adaptive triggers :O
Oh this is just the beginning. A.I combined with AR UI's in helmets, and vehicles with some type of goggles, then it's going to get crazy, you literally can see your own units like in a videogame, it kind of is already there on some systems.
I was just thinking a few days ago, why don't advanced fighting vehicles come with their own drone for better visuals ahead of them, and here someone has already thought of it and made it already. This unit here actually looks legit useful in a modern war.
Or even better add both a scouting drone option and suicide drone option for long range anti-tank strike.
They will soon. But no one saw drones being so effective so quickly as they have been in Ukraine. No one.
Problem is EM signature, most advanced nations likely including russia have systems that can, in pairs, pick up and pinpoint effectively any radio communication (personal radios, drone communication, air to ground and air to air radars) meaning the moment you launch it your location will be known. While russian integration isn't the best they will still likely be able to notify any nearby units within minutes to your exact location.
Also, drones can be jammed quire easily, properly used radars are much harder to jam.
@@znail4675 There is no real reason to fit more stuff into already cramped vehicles like tanks and ifv's, this purpose would be much better served by a modified apc that's a couple hills behind the direct fire focused vehicles.
@@martinjrgensen8234 Everyone in higher command was either too old to know or knew. People just didn't expect ukraine to survive and drag this war into a war of attrition where drones are more usable.
From my observation, it is semi-active missile but gunner can make adjustments while on the move thanks to feedback from Akeron's camera via cable. Also adapting to new tactics like deploying drones for scouting is really smart!
The gunner might need to make adjustments because the flight time is long enough for the target to respond in some way.
@@JoeOvercoat the Akeron locks on a target, like the Javelin, a moving target doesn't need manual corrections to be done by the gunner.
The Man-in-the-loop feature was made specifically so that the gunner can assign a target after shooting the missile (for instance a tank hidden behind a building). Source: the french army channel has some demos of this feature.

I am happy to see Bae pushing the akeron. Whenever possible I think Europe should buy and invest in European tech. The spike is great, but it is best to keep a healthy local arms industry. Look at the aerospace and production lines for tanks and ammo. The capability is just not there to produce to requirements as the industry has not being sustained by large enough order. Protecting a nation with ~100 tank and fighter jets is optimistic and short sighted.
Israel has blocked Spike from being supplied to Ukraine. Therefore the German version (MELLS) is blocked. Could you imagine what a mess Ukraine would be in if the US had of relied on Spike? Spike is a more modern weapon than Javelin so the result is nearly twice the range, better penetration and accuracy.
@@williamzk9083 spike is many different systems and good systems. Spike SR is the man portable version, it is fairly comparable in range. I don't understand the reason for the reliance on foreign missiles when Europe has a plethora of valid options. One of which is the Akeron.
Indeed. A cooperation between BAE and MBDA in Europe makes so much sense.
I'm a bit sad that the MBDA logo never appears on the video. It would show the strength of Europe (EU) together...
@@furtivedig German have to suck up to the Israelis. Israeli defence industry purchases German companies. It’s severely hampered Germanys ability to help Ukraine. Australia tried to send 300 spike missiles but was blocked my Israeli.
It would have been easy for Germany to develop its own javelin by using Trigat LR technology.
@@stitch77100 Actually MBDA is a Joint venture of BAE, Leonardo and Airbus defence. They used the technical base from the French Matra defense to develop that new giant, wich also explains why the french are probably their biggest client. They were the ones who wanted to develop a new system to replace the old Milan thus created the Akeron alongside Sweden . They also buy the Mica, Meteors and Storm Shadows/Scalp gearing the Rafale, the Aster 15 and 30 for their anti-air systems, their ASMPA nuclear missiles, the MDCN and Exocets family for their ships. And most of those products are developped in cooperation with other countrys.

Beautiful machine. I think the best ifv there is.
Already aced my 105 one months ago now nearly acing strf ones
Give a country 500 of those, no need for a MBT. At this point, the CV90 is the best IFV in the world besides the PUMA(when it works). Amazing piece of machinery, and so good looking.
MBT are needed though. IFVs cant ever take a beating or push against defensive positions like a MBT.
@@51TGM71 Not really, a MBT cant take any real hit anymore and the CV90 comes with a active protection system. The time for the MBT has come, same as with the battleships. But oppinion matters and i respect yours.
@@Thor_Asgard_ This argument is pretty basic and comes from a lack of understanding combined arms tactics. IFV have less armour since its function is troop carrier and mobility is its strength. There is a reason why tanks take the lead on any column or attack (to draw fire and withstand potential mines). Without MBT you would see far far more destroyed IFV and we all ready see more destroyed IFV than MBTs.
@@51TGM71 I agree... the notion that heavily armoured vehicle is outdated comes from rather poor understand on how things work. The role of heavily armoured vehicles and their use might change to some degree or the ratio of the different types of vehicles you want. But that is far from saying tanks are no longer important, that is just ignorant. The capabilities of the CV90 are just going to be enhanced when working along side a heavily armed tank and so will the tanks performance.
You still need a way to counter MBTs and the CV90 still doesn't have that and has a rather weak gun for anti armor role.
Does UA-cam think i am an arms dealer now, why is it recommending me adverts for tanks???
CV90s are going to bloody their tracks in Ukraine.
America needs light tanks like CV90
Feels a bit awkward to still need a line of sight for the gunner when you've already got the target spotted by the drone.
you don't need it tho
It's fire and forget
Also the smoke isn't needed it just gives away your position
@@alf3071 Shooting gives away your position, smoke conceals your infrared signature
The Mountain Dew camo is real
Gotta wonder if this is available for all C90 variants or just the mainline 30-40mm ones.
The next day
Ukraine:we want a 1000 cv90s
The CV90 Mjölnir firing a 120mm GPS/laser guided HE and/or HEAT mortar round could use the same drone to identify and precisely locate multiple targets. With the ability to fire 16 rounds in the first minute, it could fire 4-6 mortar rounds in the span of about 15-20 seconds and target multiple targets rather than just one. And those rounds can be a mix of HE and HEAT, so the same salvo can be targeted at troops in the open or in open top trenches, soft skinned vehicles and building with command posts or ammo caches with HE and armored IFV and MBT with HEAT rounds. The 2-3m CEP of GPS rounds is close enough for the HE rounds. And if the drone has a laser designator, the less than 1 m CEP of laser guided HEAT rounds can impact on the thinner top armor of IFV and MBT.
And if there are several tanks/IFVs, then multiple HEAT rounds fired at intervals just far enough apart for the drone to switch targets. Then in a single fire session several MBT/IFV could be targeted and destroyed before the Mjölnir equipped vehicle needs to scoot to avoid any counter battery fire that might be headed their way.
Even more importantly it could do all of this from several kilometers away completely hidden behind terrain or other obstacles without having to expose itself to achieve the line of sight that an ATGM requires. Remember, if you can see them, they can see you, and a MBT's 120mm-125mm main gun round traveling at 1700 m/s (Mach 5) is about 6 times faster than your subsonic ATGMs. So while your ATGM might still kill the tank, if it fires soon enough after the ATGM fires, its last act might be to fire the round that kills you too.
So while the traditional image of mortars is that of an area saturation weapon not at all suited to taking out small, well armored target like a MBT or IFV, the precision guidance kits now available for only about $6,000 each that can screw into the nose of standard 120mm mortar rounds can turn a mortar into a high precision weapon for far less than the $200,000 each for an ATGM like the Javelin.
There is also the STRIX anti-tank round for the mortar.
@@znail4675 STRIX is very cool since it has its own infrared seeker that it uses to guide itself to any armored vehicle within the area it can maneuver to. And it can tell the difference between an intact tank and one that is on fire and hit the one that hasn't been hit yet. So a mortar carrier could fire several at a cluster of tanks and each round will find its own target so in the ideal fire three STRIX round, kill three tanks/IFVs
But what does the STRIX cost per round? If, as a dedicated round in the same vane as the 155mm Excalibur, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't cost $50k per round. If so, you are back into the position of saving your STRIX rounds for a "special occasion". With the very low cost precision guidance kits that can turn every mortar round into a precision guided munition the potential to have every shell fired be a precision guided round becomes a cost effective possibility.
It's one badass swiss army knife
Wrong It's SWEDISH army knife. And Orcs killer
Switzerland is another country :)
That drone chasing the missile was amazing footage, damn this vehicle is sexy
Would nice to have a cv90 but bigger, to accompany cv and mbt. Like mbt with the 40mm autocannon and a lot of ammo.
They need the drone to feed targeting info to the missile allowing for beyond visual sight engagement.
The missile is already capable of BVR engagement.
It's guided from the missile itself
@@brigadgeneralvoid2508 its capable of both. Akeron MP was already tested with micro drone in BLOS mode in Cyprus. It was guided remotely by the micro drone and hit target at 4+ km.

Even the Mk.0 can easily be upgraded to modern standards, that is one of the benefits of the CV90 vehicle family of vehicles as far as I know.
@@esbenm6544 not these, it is CV90-40C that will be sent according to what I have heard.
One of the biggest game changers for IFVs and tanks, will be internally operated drones that the vehicle can carry. Normally the main weakness of an AFV is lacking situational awareness, making the vehicle weak to ambushes. And in NATO doctrine, it calls for infantry to cover the vehicles so they detect any hidden ambushes etc.
But with drones carried by the AFV, an operator inside the vehicle can easily see what is around them from a bird's eye view. The gunner and commander could be looking through the thermal sights of the vehicle, driver is driving, and a fourth member of crew could be responsible for scouting with a drone.
Fun fact : The most powerful ATGM in the world (AKERON MP) is French,and France invented the first ATGM in the entire history (Nord SS-10) in 1955.

Vart kan jag köpa en?
Is there a CV90 variant that carries a turreted howitzer, a self propelled artillery gun unit? I am familiar with the Advanced Mortar System (AMOS) - Twin Barrel 120mm Mortar version of the CV90 and I think that is a fantastic system that I would marry with units at a very low level, but a significantly longer ranged artillery system is needed as well for higher echelon.
AMOS was used during test eval for Swedish army but budget constraints made them settle for Mjölner which is simpler but still gets the job done. The Finns put a single barrel on their Patria which is named NEMO
for that we have the archer system.
it doesnt exist any howitzer variants of the cv90 except the mortar variants, due to the platform being to small to handle the recoil sufficiently
Don't forget LVKV 90 that's awesome anti air system
The Archer is our Howitzer system. Howitzers and Combat Vehicles are used in different ways.
always wonderd who picks the wires up after a launch.
Is it possible to fire these from out of cover. For example, there is a treeline or a hill between target and launch platform. But via the drone, you can laser the atgm to the target?

Missile heatprint gave it away first. Flairs makes another randomized heatprint and the smoke is often used to move infantry into position. Multipurpose feature really.
@VemVareSomTossa Thanks for the education. I'm a 10-year Army Veteran.
I assume to hide IR signature, prevent it from being lasered, and to hide it visually. While the smoke screen gives away its general location, though the missile probably already did that, the smoke might hide it from enemy drones?

We should buy this baby … greetings from Germany ✌🏼
Germany has Puma (which is too small for anyone over 183cm and Rheinmetall has Lynx. Both are very good weapons as good as CV90. Germany needs to buy them, that’s all.
Does the drone launch off a protected enclosure? ie. Can you position it on a platform, and have the platform open up or rotate outwards from the interior to the exterior? Or does a crewmember just place it on the turret roof while unbuttoned? I assume they carry more than one drone....do they have a dedicated drone operator, because that takes a lot of concentration? Also, how does one reload the missile launcher? Is that done internally by an autoloader, or by the crew, or attached troop element (like the Bradley?) Can it fire on two targets independantly, ie. two missiles in the air at once?
So many questions.....I'm sure some Warthunder player will leak all the details at some point though :)
I'm not sure if there are autoloaders for missile launchers at all. 99% it's only can be made from outside.
The launcher is manually reload from inside. I must say that i though that each new CV90 had either a/one drone or a launcher.
I guess the system is to new to have all facts shown on UA-cam.
Friends, remember that Russians read too --- loose lips, sink ships. Let them find out when we use the system against them.
