• Ukraine's navy has acquired at least 16 Swedish-made patrol boats this year to counter Russia.
• The CB90 assault craft can deploy on various missions, from troop delivery to mine reconnaissance.

Ukraine's navy added three Swedish-made patrol boats to its fleet earlier this month as it continues to hammer Russian naval forces in the Black Sea.

The recent CB90 delivery comes after Sweden announced its massive $682 million military aid package to Ukraine in February, which included 10 CB90 vessels and 20 other riverine boats. The Netherlands similarly provided three more CB90s to Ukraine a month later, for a total of at least 16.
