Bofors 40 mm L/70, 40 mm towed anti-aircraft autocannon, Air Defense2014 Russia-Ukraine War, 2025 India-Pakistan ConflictBofors 40 mm L/7040 mm towed anti-aircraft autocannonBuilt by: BAE Systems BoforsThe Bofors 40 mm L/70 is a Swedish postwar anti-aircraft autocannon developed by AB Bofors as a higher-velocity, faster-firing successor to the wartime 40 mm L/60 family. Its towed and naval variants remained in service through upgrades, with source-backed modern use including Lithuanian-supplied guns in Ukrainian air defense and Indian upgraded L/70 guns used as a short-range counter-drone layer during the 2025 India-Pakistan Conflict.
RBS 70, Laser beam-riding short-range air-defense missile system, Air Defense2014 Russia-Ukraine WarRBS 70Laser beam-riding short-range air-defense missile systemBuilt by: Saab / Saab Bofors DynamicsRBS 70 is a Swedish short-range air-defense system built around a tripod launcher, optical or thermal sight, and laser beam-riding missiles. Saab's RBS 70 NG sight keeps the man-portable role while adding auto-tracking, thermal imaging, vehicle-integration, and networked or remote-control compatibility. Ukraine has fielded RBS 70 systems during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War through Swedish and Australian support, including donated or procured launchers and training for Ukrainian personnel.
Giraffe 75, Mobile air-defense surveillance and target-acquisition radar, Air Defense2014 Russia-Ukraine WarGiraffe 75Mobile air-defense surveillance and target-acquisition radarBuilt by: SaabGiraffe 75 is a Swedish mobile Giraffe-family air-surveillance radar, known in Swedish service as PS-90, built to give short- and medium-range air-defense units a raised-mast radar picture and target-acquisition support. Ukrainian sources have reported Giraffe 75/PS-90 radars in Ukrainian service during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, while Serbian M85 Žirafa systems show the same model lineage in later air-defense modernization context.

BvS 10, Articulated armored all-terrain vehicle, Armored Vehicles2001 War in Afghanistan, 2014 Russia-Ukraine WarBvS 10Articulated armored all-terrain vehicleBuilt by: BAE Systems HagglundsThe BvS 10 is a Swedish-built, twin-body armored all-terrain vehicle developed by Hagglunds for the UK Royal Marines and now marketed by BAE Systems Hagglunds. Known in British service as Viking, it combines amphibious articulated mobility with protected troop, command, ambulance, recovery, mortar, and fire-support configurations, with documented service in Afghanistan and later UK and Dutch vehicles supplied to Ukraine.
Pbv 302, Tracked armored personnel carrier / infantry fighting vehicle, Armored Vehicles2014 Russia-Ukraine WarPbv 302Tracked armored personnel carrier / infantry fighting vehicleBuilt by: BAE Systems HägglundsThe Pbv 302 is a Swedish tracked armored personnel carrier and infantry fighting vehicle developed by Hägglunds for mechanized infantry mobility, amphibious movement, and protected troop transport under 20 mm cannon fire support. Sweden announced the donation of its PBV 302 stock, spares, maintenance equipment, and ammunition to Ukraine in May 2024; Ukrainian approval reporting and visually documented loss records place the vehicle in Ukrainian service during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.
CV90, Tracked infantry fighting vehicle, Armored Vehicles2014 Russia-Ukraine WarCV90Tracked infantry fighting vehicleBuilt by: BAE Systems HägglundsThe CV90 is a Swedish tracked infantry fighting vehicle family built by BAE Systems Hägglunds for protected troop movement, direct-fire support, and configurable combat-vehicle roles. Its Mk IV generation adds a higher-power drivetrain, upgraded digital architecture, D-series turret options, and active-protection integration, while Ukraine's documented wartime fleet is tied to Swedish-donated CV90s and later new CV9035 MkIIIC procurement rather than confirmed Mk IV deliveries.

M/41D 120 mm mortar, 120 mm towed heavy mortar, Artillery2014 Russia-Ukraine WarM/41D 120 mm mortar120 mm towed heavy mortarBuilt by: Tampella / Bofors Defence ABThe M/41D is the Swedish-service branch of the Finnish Tampella 120 Krh/40 heavy mortar family, a Stokes-Brandt-pattern 120 mm weapon built for mobile indirect fire. Ukraine accepted the Swedish 120 mm M/41D into service during the full-scale Russia-Ukraine War, while open sources also document its older Finnish design base, Swedish licensed production, Baltic holdings, and continued relevance as a compact fire-support mortar.
155 mm FH77B Bofors howitzer, 155 mm towed howitzer, Artillery1999 Kargil War, 2019 India-Pakistan Border Skirmishes +1 more155 mm FH77B Bofors howitzer155 mm towed howitzerBuilt by: BAE Systems BoforsThe 155 mm FH77B Bofors howitzer is a Swedish towed artillery piece developed by Bofors from the FH77A family and widely known in India as the Bofors gun. The export B-model retained the FH77 family’s auxiliary power unit for short self-movement, but used a longer 39-caliber barrel, screw breech, bag charges, and NATO-standard 155 mm ammunition. India’s 410-gun procurement made the FH77B a long-lived part of Indian Army artillery, with direct source-backed use in the 1999 Kargil War and later Line of Control firing in 2019 and 2025.

It gives infantry a lightweight close-range option against light armor, bunkers, gun positions, and buildings, while the wider AT4CS family adds confined-space variants for different target effects. Ukraine has received AT-4 systems through U.S. security assistance during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.

Bofors material places it in the 40 mm ammunition family beside 3P and training rounds, identifies Mk I and Mk II development, and Swedish Armed Forces safety regulations list SLPPRJ 90 and SLPPRJ 01 LK designations for Strf 90 and Lvkv 90 firing contexts.

Meteor, Beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile, MunitionsMeteorBeyond-visual-range air-to-air missileBuilt by: MBDAMBDA Meteor is a European beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile developed by six partner nations under MBDA leadership. The missile combines active radar homing, datalinked mid-course updates, a blast-fragmentation warhead, and a variable-flow ducted rocket for sustained endgame energy; official sources document operational carriage on Gripen, Typhoon, and Rafale aircraft and ongoing integration or test activity for F-35 and KF-21 fighters.
RBS 70 Mk 3 Bolide, Laser beam-riding short-range surface-to-air missile, MunitionsRBS 70 Mk 3 BolideLaser beam-riding short-range surface-to-air missileBuilt by: Saab Bofors DynamicsThe RBS 70 Mk 3 Bolide is Saab Bofors Dynamics' all-target missile for the Swedish RBS 70 short-range air-defense family. It keeps the line's laser beam-riding guidance while giving RBS 70 NG a Mach 2 interceptor for aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, UAVs, and selected ground targets. Public Ukraine sources identify RBS 70 systems and ammunition in Ukrainian service, but reviewed sources do not cleanly identify the exact missile lots as Bolide, so this entry is kept as a relationship-only munition page.
.300 Norma Magnum, Long-range centerfire rifle cartridge, Munitions.300 Norma MagnumLong-range centerfire rifle cartridgeBuilt by: Norma Precision.300 Norma Magnum is a Swedish-origin long-range centerfire rifle cartridge in the Norma Magnum family. Norma presents the caliber as a modern precision cartridge tied to its earlier .308 Norma Mag lineage, while C.I.P. lists Sweden as country of origin and SAAMI later accepted the 300 Norma Magnum for standardization. The record links documented chambered rifles such as the Barrett MRAD / MK22 and PGW Timberwolf Gen 3 without turning those relationships into conflict-use claims.
Bofors BILL anti-tank guided missile, Overfly top-attack anti-tank guided missile, Munitions2014 Russia-Ukraine WarBofors BILL anti-tank guided missileOverfly top-attack anti-tank guided missileBuilt by: BAE Systems Bofors / Saab Bofors DynamicsBofors BILL is a Swedish wire-guided anti-tank guided missile family built around an overfly top-attack flight path, allowing the warhead to strike armor from above rather than through frontal armor. Bofors developed the original RBS 56 BILL after a 1979 order, Saab describes BILL 2 as the later dual-warhead upgrade, and open-source transfer tracking documents Swedish RBS-56 BILL missiles delivered or pledged to Ukraine before March 2023.
TAURUS KEPD 350, Stand-off cruise missile, MunitionsTAURUS KEPD 350Stand-off cruise missileBuilt by: TAURUS SystemsTAURUS KEPD 350 is a German-Swedish air-launched stand-off cruise missile built by TAURUS Systems, the MBDA Deutschland and Saab Dynamics joint venture, for precision strikes against hardened, buried, and other high-value targets. Official sources describe a 500 km-plus weapon with low-level terrain-following navigation, GPS-independent attack modes, and a 481 kg MEPHISTO tandem warhead; public evidence supports carrier and operator context but not confirmed wartime delivery or use, so this catalog entry remains relationship-only.
