Did Poland Just Build a Better IFV Than the CV90?

Welcome to Pacific Steel! Today, we are diving deep into the intense world of European Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs). The Swedish CV90 has long been considered the undisputed king of the battlefield, a battle-tested and heavily armored favorite across NATO. So, why is Poland spending millions and dedicating years of R&D to develop their own amphibious Borsuk IFV from scratch instead of just buying the CV90? In this video, we break down the ultimate armored vehicle matchup: the battle-hardened CV90 Mk IV vs. the game-changing newcomer, the Borsuk. We will explore their core design philosophies, comparing the CV90's incredibly thick, survivable armor against the Borsuk's lightweight, river-crossing agility perfectly suited for Eastern Europe. We also dive into a detailed spec comparison, pitting the Borsuk's cutting-edge ZSSW-30 unmanned turret and standard dual-tube Spike-LR 2 missiles against the CV90's proven Bofors autocannon and heavy troop capacity. We’ll also analyze the massive price difference and what each military truly gets for their defense budget. Finally, we tackle the massive controversy currently rocking the defense analysis world: With the lessons learned from the war in Ukraine, are amphibious IFVs like the Borsuk just sitting ducks for FPV kamikaze drones? Or is the heavy-armor, tank-like approach of the CV90 the only way to survive the modern battlefield? Which IFV do you think is superior for future combat? The heavily armored CV90 or the agile, amphibious Borsuk? Sound off and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
