Selection of locally produced military equipment and locally produced weapons and vehicles, which would strengthen NATO's arsenal if Finland and Sweden are successful in their efforts to join the military alliance.

Combat Vehicle 90 (Combat Vehicle 90 - CV90)

The Swedish armored vehicle is special for its "active damping" suspension capability based on Formula 1 racing technology, to adapt to the terrain.

High-tech suspension gives the vehicle a speed advantage over bumpy terrain, but is difficult to maintain.

The base model of the CV90 vehicle is armed with an auto-cannon that can fire five 40-millimeter projectiles per second.

Bandvagn Skyddad 10 (BvS10)

The Swedish-British vehicle is equipped to cross trails in the desert, with snow or swamps, which would be impassable for most military vehicles.

The BvS 10 is armored, but remains fairly easy to "swim in", using its wings to slowly penetrate waterways.

It can be equipped with a heavy machine gun while grenade launchers (above the front window in this photo) can also fire grenades in pieces.

155 GH 52 APU

Finland's heavy artillery fires 155-millimeter shells - seen as the upper limit for man-made shells.

Although designed to be towed by another vehicle, the 13.5 tonne howitzer has a small engine, which can be used to reposition short distances while on the field.

The defect of this weapon is reported to be "serious technical problems", which were not discovered before it was sold in Egypt - the only country outside Finland that used this type of weapon.

AMOS

The advanced Finnish-Swedish mortar system, seen here mounted on the body of a Patria AMV (Finnish armored vehicle), is a two-barrel mortar used with the help of a computer, which has the capacity to empty ten cartridges mortars at the same time.

The automated firing system launches its first two cartridges into a high arc, then proceeds with lower ones designed to ensure that all cartridges arrive simultaneously.

Patria AMV

Finland's modular armored vehicle serves as a platform for a wide variety of weapons, including remote-controlled weapons that do not require activation by unprotected human hands.

The military vehicle can transport up to 12 people and has proven very successful in the export market with hundreds of vehicles sold abroad.

The Polish versions of the AMV reportedly withstood direct blows from the RPG while in battle in Afghanistan.

In 2009, a Polish soldier was killed inside a vehicle after being hit by a roadside bomb.

95 S 58-61

This type of towing artillery that was developed in Finland in the 1950s, but with more advanced anti-tank ammunition is able to pierce more than half a meter in the armored part.

"Musti" is the nickname of this military device which in Finnish means black dog.

This nickname was given to him because of the noise that resembles the bark of a dog and not the usual noise of these types of weapons.

The device is moved manually by soldiers who have to put it in position to shoot with it.

Archer Artillery System

Sweden's automatic howitzer Archer is able to park, catch a target and shoot within 30 seconds, then fold up and "land" safely at the same time.

The hypermodern artillery system launches 155-millimeter projectiles, including expensive US-made Excalibur artillery shells, capable of guiding themselves accurately enough to hit a car 60 miles away.

The Archer system includes an armored truck that protects the driver inside from fire and small arms fragments.
