Germany wanted those constraints on the design, the shipbuilder merely incorporated them.

Of course. That wasn't what I meant. That was just a reference to the opportunity to upgrade the design.

It's often not that easy to simply switch designs even if only contract-wise before the keel has even been laid.

Rheinmetall has unveiled its new Squad Support Weapon 40 (SSW40), a shoulder-fired magazine-fed automatic grenade launcher. It has a range of up to 1,000 metres, weighs 4 kilograms and can fire all available 40 mm munition, including low velocity and medium velocity varieties. The German Army is the first customer.

With the proliferation of very long range AAM's like Meteor and PL-17 it does sound a lot like AWACS might need to move away from large manned platforms to more of this kind of thing - AWACS drones

I am guessing that Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Lithuania and Estonia will all be operating the same model of CV90 and this model is it. It looks to be the same as the upgraded Dutch vehicle.

From what I've read, the Ukrainians like the CV90's. Fast, low silhouette, good firepower and crew protection.I am guessing that Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Lithuania and Estonia will all be operating the same model of CV90 and this model is it. It looks to be the same as the upgraded Dutch vehicle.
