pbv-302 (estimated)

The Pbv 302 is a Swedish tracked infantry fighting vehicle developed by Hägglunds. Designed for the challenging Nordic terrain, it was known for its amphibious capabilities and robust construction.

Developed in the early 1960s, the Pansarbandvagn 302 was created to replace the obsolete Pbv 301 and provide the Swedish Army with a highly mobile armored transport capable of keeping pace with modern main battle tanks. The vehicle officially entered service in 1966 and served as the backbone of Swedish mechanized infantry brigades for decades. Although designed for domestic defense, it saw its first combat deployments during United Nations peacekeeping operations in Bosnia during the 1990s. While decommissioned by Sweden in 2014, the vehicle's operational history was extended in 2024 when Sweden announced the donation of its remaining inventory to Ukraine.
