I was boat commander in the Swedish Special Marines as we call "Coastal Rangers" and 1984 we already tested different Protetypes with Water jets engines and special hulls that finally became Stridsbåt 90 ( Combat Boat 90 ) 90 = Year 1990. It was originally made for our Coastel Rangers when they attack islands in full speed entering the shores. The waterjet engines are made so we reverse the jet and the Boats stops in 5 meters getting only the nose on the shore so the hull is intact and the Badasses rush out and do their job. More info I cannot reveal what we do, hehe. But you can imagine with full equipped with Robot system from Bofors plus 40 mm Canon etc, Machine Guns etc what a fight we can give the enemy in our own backyard.
På den tiden hade ni väl 200 båtarna?
Jag var inne på Vaxholm 2005 men hade äran att få se ett par av dem i Göteborg innan dem stängde ner Amf 4 sommaren innan tjänstgöring.
Great boats the marine jet engine was invented and developed in New Zealand and is still used extensively today in the fast flowing and sometimes shallow rivers especially in the South Island. They can stop in their own length, can navigate very shallow water and often transverse pebble/sandy/gravel sandbanks completely out of the water at speed
Genial båt! Alu skroget som kan legge båten på land er uten sidestykke! 👏👏👌👌
In Finland we have: Jaeger Regiment, coastal swede speaking. I guess you have met them!?
A 40 mm cannon would be a bit too big and heavy for a Stridsbåt 90.
As the brother-country of Sweden, Norway with it's massive coastline, depend on these boats for defense :) Thanks Sweden.
TBH the video is in Norway.
Come on, stop being nice. It makes it harder to say mean things about Norways.
@@xifel72 Well there is always the jokes 😂
Precisely. The flag flying from the mast in the beginning of the video is NOT the Swedish flag.
@@bjrnmller603 The flag is Norwegian. The boat is Swedish, bought by Norway (and many others)
Others sometimes have difficulty telling us apart. As a Swede I'm just happy that it wasn't about the Swiss navy.
Technically though it's not wrong that they are "Swedish [designed] boats" regardless of country. E.g. they could have done it in Brazil if they wanted to go for the "riverine" part. Riverine is however semantically incorrect (I think?) as it's not actually designed for rivers.
USMC was first made aware of the Stridsbat 90 back in 1992 with visit of the then CMC General Carl Mundy, who actually took the helm of one the craft in the Stockholm archipelago. General Mundy was the guest of Royal Coast Artillery Brigadier Per Lundbeck. General Mundy also witnessed activities of the Swedish Coastal Rangers and Combat Divers in the cold winter waters during his official visit to Sweden, the first time for a Marine Commandant.
As an Alaskan fishing guide who's spent the past 28 years sledding up and down many of AK's most challenging rivers, I'm jealous, envious and completely approve of these beautiful tools of the trade.
The start of the video is clearly from Norway, our Coastal Rangers use them. Would thus work just fine in AK too!
If you don't know it there are civilian versions to. So anyone can buy their own 90H
@@catd11ng74 That's pretty cool, that rarely happens in the rest of the west.
This is in Harstad, Norway. The training is done together with the Norwegian Costal Ranger Commando. The boats are Swedish produced though.
Should have had a clip when it stops from full speed, it is a pretty impressive sight!
it's called crash-stop and can come to a complete halt in 1½ boathlengt(24 meters) from full speed(55 knots in peace-time)
@@hedning003 that equals a normal car with full brakes on dry asphalt.
@@rubricen even better..dual waterjets whit reversed flow at max power ..it's like hitting a wall
@@hedning003 No. My comment is based on mathematical calculations and physical laws.
This boat can do 74 km/h (40 knots) not 55 (101 km/h) as mentioned over here.
A car will need 36 meters to stop if velocity is 80 km/h.
@@rubricen the boat can do over 60 knots..it's choked in peace time by lowering the max pressure in the directinjector-pump,and then it's sealed..the seal is however easy to break and then adjust the pump- i did my military service as a mechanic in the Swedish Marines..so i have played around with these boats quite a lot..and the boat dosnt brake,it reversed the flow of the waterjet
Even the Stockholm Police have themselves a 90H, sounds incredible!
What's so incredible with that? Anyone can buy a 90H. Even the fire department in the small community where i live have one as a fire and rescue boat.
You gotta hand it to the swedes they make some first class gear 👌🇸🇪🇬🇧
🇧🇻
Thanks, and I might add that the RTCH container lifter, in the end of the video is also made in Sweden ☺
Yeah, the boats are awesome..
Also check out when a Swedish sub snuk (spelling?) into harbour and sank the USS Ronald Reagan.
Also check out the new "Swedish GHOOOOST TANK" DU DE DAAAAH!! 😅
I also love the Jas Gripen..
💪😃🤘
Thank you, Sir 😃🇸🇪
Might I interest you in our APC/IFV/Light Tank/Mortar carrier/etc the CV90 _"suffix"_
Our army still keeps the old mindset that we should make any enemy realize that they'd rather wade through hell it self and then swim over an ocean rather than invade.
Only thing we need now is the numbers to back that up.
NATO has been the solution to that. As a Swede, I'm immensly thankful that NATO still exists and that we have been allowed to sign the treaty.
All I hope for now for our economy and for the fighting capability of NATO is that our stuff sells. It's good shit and most of it is probably avalible (To our allies. :P).
We're the best armsdealers in the world, after all.
Scandinavian forces have the kind of boats that are designed by obsessive engineers, to be driven by absolute lunatics. A powerful symbiosis.
Don't forget, their sole purpose is to effectively and violently repel Russian aggression!
Il y a toujours du sang viking dans leurs artères 😊
Vikings's blood 😊 don't forget it.
No lunatics, but remember: lots of the helmsmen of those boats are conscripts, 18-19 years old and given 1500 hp to play around with
If this boat can stop and turn as fast as it has been reported, hope everyone is hanging on.
They are made to be used in the worlds biggest archipelago, using the protection from island, not on open sea
That's correct.
They are designed for their specific environment….not the open sea.
How many beach trup landing craft are there, that handle open sea? Not many, I should think?
@@Matt-yg8ub They can still handle the open sea, but are obviously not intended for crossing the Atlantic in.
Oh tried the ones in Norwegian service. Brothers on the west side of Scandinavia.
US version is pretty sweet
TY good job, for America and all of us !
Wow, Very cool Sweden!
"crash stopped" in stridsbåt 90 from +40 knots with less than 2
They may be Swedish boats, but the military was Norwegian.
Soldiers US Marines. Drivers Norwegian. NATO. Boat Swedish. Some upgrades Norwegian.
Right and the boat was flying a Norwegian flag, time 00:37
@@davidursin2150 The boats are bought by Norway and slightly upgraded. But the boats are Swedish. There are so many morons here thinking they are Norwegian boats just because they fly Norwegian flags…
Nothing to do with Norway more then that they are displayed there in this video. Made by Sweden.
@@karlsfishtube5305 In fact, the Norwegian version seen here (Stridsbåt 90N) has some upgrades done to it that separates it a bit from the Swedish original version. But, the boat is Swedish for sure!
Very IMPRESSIVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
THANKS FOR REPORTING AND SHARING ❤❤❤❤
GREETINGS FROM MAASTRICHT THE NEDERLANDS
Same mission but a vast change from a Viking Longship to a Vietnam era PBR to these monsters. I was on a PBR back in the day and damn glad I had MA2 .50 BMG handy.
Yup, the Swedish CB90s sports dual Ma Deuces in a fixed forward mount for beach assault supressive fire, a central ring mount with either a third Ma Deuce or an M240 or a 40mm GMG, or a modified anti-ship variant of the Hellfire missile plus two sets of deck rails for dropping depth charges or sea mines off the stern.😊
Question: Wouldn't it be nicer with a 20mm or 25mm gun? I feel the .50 is a bit puny since in theory you could encounter tougher stuff along the coast that the .50 doesn't bite too well on like bunkers or some ugly boats? Whats do you think from your PBS experience?
@@frodej6640 I've read that they have done some tests with 30mm ADEN autocannon from decomissioned Draken fighter jets in the past, and also a few different types of missiles like Hellfire and RBS 70. But now Sweden just recently started mounting M134D miniguns on CB90, so that will probably get the job done. The ship can also use 40mm automatic grenade launcher, sea mines and depth charges.
Some say that the swedes can drive these boats anywhere and anytime.
Modern dragon ships 👍🏻
It might work like the Carl Gustafs and Bofors canons. Which we have bought in the past.
Realy I like it they are so powerful
Ôi.một công nghệ tuyệt vời.nó dành cho những người dũng cảm
The s-boats cammo is awesome!!!
Bad ass military river boat!
En Argentina nesecitamos esta tecnologia
Very Good. Very Good .very Good...
The US Navy used these boats as part of the Riverine Forces under the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command but once their mission sets ended with the end of the war in Iraq, they became obsolete and have been decommissioned. It was one of these that was captured off of Farsi Island in 2016.
That "capture" has never been fully explained. How could the Iranis manage to run down one of these. Hmmmm...
@@terencerucker3244 it was investigated and there were a lot of factors that led to what happened. I read the report because I work in that community.
@@terencerucker3244 Engine failure I believe.
at 12.00 french MBT "Leclerc" not Leopard...
You should check out the Norwegian Skjold class with a speed of 60 - 80+ knots with the Naval Strike Missile
80 knots is fanciful mate, stick to saying 60+
@@matiashogden1240 Nope
@@Cta2006 Good luck seeing any of them going 80
@@matiashogden1240
80 might be a bit over the top, and even if the original version were said to do 60, the upgraded versions are rumored to do at least above 70.
@@The_Judge300 The unclassified number is 60+, anything beyond that would be speculation, but i promise you. 80 knots is a bloody fantasy.
AFAIK no engine overhaul has been done on any Skjold-class. What are you reffering to when talking about the upgraded version?
As a marine commando once said to me: a dry duit doesn't mean a warm suit.
From having done a lot of scuba diving in scandinavia with dry suits I can say that it depends a lot on what you wear underneath the dry suit. If you wear nothing but your underwear then you are gonna be really quite cold. The dry suit itself doesn't really insulate that much. When we dive with a dry suit in really cold water we would wear a big puffy warm overall under the suit
They are practicing in the Norwegian coastal waters, just outside Harstad, between Hinnøya and Grytøya. Old stomping grounds
Good training.
Storebro that was one of the devolper companies used some of the tec in their civilian Storebro J32 and J34. 32 and 34 fot daycruisers with waterjets.
Very cool!
ผมได้ติดตามดูตลอดช่องนี้ให้ความรู้และเพลิดเพลิน แต่สิ่งสำคัญ โลโก้ช่องคุณสวยงามมาก ถ้าเป็นไปได้ผมอยากได้เสื้อที่มี โลโก้ The Daily Aviation ไว้ใส่เที่ยว คงเท่ห์มาก ขอขอบคุณล่วงหน้าครับ 🙏❤
Adding to the operational efficiency is the fact that the conscripts driving these boats are most often already sto start with used to driving fast boats, and doing the occasional landing on the rock "beaches" of Sweden. They also aquire a keen knowlidge of some part of the archipellago (thousands of islands), and probably they already knew some. (Like you know what straits are possible to navigate, depending on water level at a certain point in time.) Water is kind of second element to Swedes - since even long before the Vikings!
When I see Japanese soldiers, I imagine that they are mobilising to stop Godzilla.
🤣🤣
Tuyệt Vòi lắm 🎉🎉🎉❤
There was no "Full speed" runs in the vid, only "economic" cruise speed....
Your video are always interesting, but this time, at the end you show some pictures of the french tank Leclerc instead of the Leopard2 tank.
nice !!
12:20 these tanks are not german Leopard but french Leclerc...
Published speed of 40 knots - Sounds like great fun!
My older brother worked a while at one of the two shipyards that built them, and the younger workers often hitched the boats up with paracord ropes and rode their feet behind the boats during the Quality Control runs on hot summer days, no need for water skis or wake boards 😂
The ones in the video are Norwegian Stridsbåt 90N, not 90H. The 90N is even faster with a max speed of 45 knots.
@@tessjuel That sounds like even more fun. The best speed that I've experienced on water was about 25 knots on an amphibious ship, LHA-3. Missed a chance to ride on a LCAC at roughly 60 knots, but that's a hovercraft.
@@SonsOfLorgar That sounds like a great way to test them.
Speed was slightly different depending on if it was running with the full (half) platoon or not, or running empty or full with 1 m2 of diesel. The first prototype 801 did 50 knots I recall, but she was also pretty stripped of all real combat gear. Prototype 802 was slightly slower as it had a decompression tank for attack divers and some other prototype navigational gear. All production boats with the final Rolls-Royce Water jets and double Scania 16W diesels did somewhere around 40, some boats pushed to 45 knots, but we could never really tell why there was a difference with the same payload. Fun to drive, but thirsty.
Is it a real brown water boat or a costal boat doing double duty? What is the draft? It’s a cool, boat and I respect the Swed’s they have been operating boats like this for all of recorded history .
The Stridsbåt 90 have a draft of around 0.8 metres. Which i reckon is 30 something inches. The boats are designed for operations in archiepelago environments so it performs both brown water and coastal duties. Its initial primary design had a very heavy emphasize on recon and deployement of specialist troops. Now we use it for everything. Hauling cargo, bigger deployements, island assault and so on. The latest iterations of it comes with heavier support weaponry as well as being faster and more silent built on a sturdier hulll, not sure what the draft is on the latest version since some of the weapon platforms that are being tested are certainly heavier than a .50 and the 7.62mm thats usually mounted.
@@Mornomgir thank you!
@@Mornomgir In combat simulation training over known ocean floor (think no rocks, sandy bottom), we could push full speed over 0,4-5 m of water. Didn't really work to go slow (
These days (and for quite a while now) no one does small, fast military vessels anywhere near as well as the Scandinavians. When it comes to fast boats they reign supreme, check out some of their post-war boats that are now collector-owned, these countries took over PT Boat development where Higgins left off and the results are always awesome.
I can vouch that a wetsuit hood helps a lot!
This Australian on secondment had big time brain freeze 😂
A wetsuit is for warm water. ... when the water is cold like here, we use drysuits.
@@magnuslundstedt2659 hi Magnus, yes, I was wearing a dry suit over my wooly bear suit, T-shirt and shorts… the cold loss from the head means that I also wore a wetsuit hood 😉🇦🇺🇸🇪🇳🇴
@braddoyle246 yea. I was reading with my ass. Thankyou for pointing it out.
Swedish!!! Norwegian thank you!
Swedish designed and built is what they mean ;)
As a former swedish marine, we were tought that H stands for Helge (swedish for the letter H).
The United States Navy had some built in the USA for use in Iraq. They even experimented with deploying them from amphibious assault ships.
It’s the Norwegian Navi in Tromsø
Oh, I’d love to take a ride on one these beauties!
They are amazing. I thought the US version was quite daring with all the open standing guns on it though. The inside has crash seats with over the shoulders straps for the crew because the damn boat can literally turn on a dime and accelerate to max speed in like 5 seconds.
We happen to see these things stuck on rocky islands sometimes in Scandinavia when they practice with them because the drivers get a bit too eager XD
NOt much worry though the hull is so strong its good to go again after being pulled back in.
A product developed by Dockstavarvet.👌
And made at Docksta and Fårösund.
Good Fishing!,,
What did you catch today, earl. Couple shineys and 16 marines. Had to throw em back
Is the guy with US NAVY patch a SWCC boat operator?
keren mister 😍😍😍
Oohh that is hard.I have never gone diving from a boat like that.
What Riverine boats? Sweden doesn't have any Riverine boats. Sweden have the Combat boat 90(cb90).
Sweden 🇸🇪👍💪👊
Europe and America✌🏻
Cool
on 4:28 u see the loop antenna does anyone know the type of antenna?
That Vhinook must be a wet dream for every insurgent with a manpad.
Those boats are not Riverine boats. They are Swedish developed, Swedish built CB90. Combat boat 90
Next Maritime Toy to cover
*"CARRIER SEAL"* is an 8-man swimmer delivery vehicle designed for the covert insertion and extraction of combat diver units. It operates in three modes; surface, semi-submerged and submerged.

You beat me to it.
@@robertford7622 😊🎉❤
the boats are made by Sweden, however, multiple countries use them, such as Norway
Yes but Stridsbåt 90 is a Swedish made piece of equipment
May be a better caption would be “US Marines try Swedish boats in Norway”🤷♂️
Wow
We have some history with transporting warriors in fast boats that can go up rivers
The Scania motor in then boats is no joke. 2 x V8 combined power 1350 hp.
12:30 French Leclerc and right after if for the M2 comment Abrams.
I had a friend in the 1960's whose Father had a dinghy which was made of molded marine ply, I think it was Swedish made,I wonder if these boats are the same
Sweden's Stridsbåt 90 will be equipped with the Dillion M134 Minigun in the near future.
Did you really talk about Leopard 2 and show many times the french Leclerc MBT ?
they talk about the best tank in the worl so it's normal to the Leclerc😏
Try doin that on battery power.
Well, I guess jumping into the water from a fast boat involves aviating for a very short time ;)
Heia Norge!
about 40 high speed neumatic Narco boat snatched by the police,were delivered from Spain to Ukraina.
Swedish boats with Norwegian flags. (Yeah, I know they sell to Norway but would have been nice to see a Swedish flag)
Bless the Green Grunts.
why we show what we have?
Swedes build some good stuff..welocme to the gang
Can this boat can toe to toe with Shaldag mk V
Those are not a riverine boats but boats designed to be operated at Baltic sea.
Sweden is going to arm her Stridsbåt 90 with the M134D Dillon Aero Gatling Gun System.
The Stridsbåt 90 was developed for littoral warfare and was supposed to be armed with automatic cannons from retired fighter jets, the 30 mm ADEN cannon.
_The Royal Small Arms Factory ADEN cannon (ADEN being an acronym for "Armament Development, Enfield") is a 30 mm revolver cannon used on many military aircraft, particularly those of the British Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm. Developed post-World War II primarily to meet British Air Ministry's requirement for increased lethality in aircraft armament, the cannon was fired electrically and is fully automatic once it is loaded._
Must be an old video, because I thought we were getting rid of the MK VI boats...
Despite initial plans to acquire 48 Mark VI boats, only 12 were ordered in 2015 and delivered by 2017 with none purchased afterwards. In early 2021, the U.S. Navy signaled its intention to divest them by the end of the year. The decision was made as a cost saving measure, as the boats were not extensively used, suffered from reliability problems, and were considered too expensive to maintain. The Navy however briefly rescinded the plan in May 2021 pending final Fiscal Year 2022 budget decisions before ultimately continuing with devestiture. As of 2022, the 12 MK VI hulls remain in long term layup and storage and all MK VI program manpower, training, unique systems, and all support has been divested.
What happened to the Riverine Command Boats (CB90 variant)?
Saab has since acquired the company that made the CB90 and has produced a much upgraded version, now featuring all the Saab tech they could cram into it.
Sweden has already ordered a bunch of them.
So lets see what happens when that version is evaluated by the US.
@@MerecirIts not about the CB90 not being a phenomenal boat. For some reason patrol boats always get shelved in the US and the funds are moved somewhere else. The Cyclone, CB90 and Mark VI boats aren't being used now.
Amazing, question, What happens to their weapons in saltwater?
they would be meticulously cleaned / serviced after each use, otherwise they will have sticky salt water over and through the weapons
you did not show the one that has two 120mm cannons
"Working one"
👍👍
Amazing boats
opmerkelijk dat deze "Zweedse" een Noorse vlag voeren en zo te zien in Noorwegen waren. Weten jullie wel zeker date dit Zweedse schepen zijn?
