In the face of rising tensions in the Baltic region, Estonia has quietly assembled one of NATO’s most formidable mechanized forces—centered around its fleet of 81 CV90 infantry fighting vehicles. But how did this small nation transform surplus Dutch and Norwegian armor into a cutting-edge fighting force capable of deterring much larger adversaries?
In this video, we break down:
🔥 The Origins of Estonia’s CV90 Fleet – From the landmark 2014 Dutch deal for 44 CV9035EEs (armed with a deadly 35mm Bushmaster III autocannon) to the bargain purchase of 37 Norwegian hulls for just €635,000—how Estonia built its armored backbone on a budget.
⚙️ Local Innovation & Conversions – How Estonian companies like Milrem Robotics turned old Norwegian CV90s into armored recovery vehicles, command posts, and heavy fire support units, proving that small nations can punch above their weight.
🛡️ NATO’s Eastern Shield – Why Estonia’s CV90s are critical to Baltic security, their role in exercises like Hedgehog 2025, and how they seamlessly integrate with Finnish Leopard 2s and Swedish CV90s in a potential conflict.
💥 Firepower & Survivability – Inside the CV9035EE’s advanced armor, NBC protection, and low radar signature, making it a nightmare for enemy forces.
🌍 The Bigger Picture – As Sweden, Finland, and Lithuania push for joint CV90 fleets, where does Estonia stand in NATO’s future mechanized warfare plans?
From procurement to battlefield tactics, Estonia’s CV90 story is one of ingenuity, deterrence, and NATO solidarity. Could these vehicles be the key to holding the line in Eastern Europe?
