Swedish CB90 Riverine combat boats - made to order, for supporting the Ukrainian bridgehead at Krynky.
Forbes reports: "(Sweden's) latest aid package is its biggest: $680 million worth of artillery shells, anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles and a whopping 30 riverine boats.
The consignment of boats includes 10 CB90 assault craft. The 52-foot CB90 is a riverine classic: thickly-armored and heavily-armed with three crew, space for 21 infantry and a top speed of 40 knots out to a distance of up to 240 miles...
...With their top-mounted remote guns laying down covering fire and their frontal armor shrugging off enemy small arms, a squadron of 10 CB90s could land a company of marines “with a degree of survivability for both the craft and embarked troops,” according to retired U.S. Navy officer Pete Pagano, writing in Proceedings, the professional journal of the U.S. fleet...
...The CB90s with their guns and armor should fare better against Russian drones than flimsier boats have done."

Krynki are not ours yet. Why did Shoigu deceive Putin?
We specifically did not write anything immediately after Sergei Shoigu informed Vladimir Putin about the cleansing of Krynoki.
We carefully checked this information, talked with more than ten sources - representatives of the General Staff, military officers and military personnel who are now in the Kherson region.
“The crests are still here, but Shoigu is fucked,” one of our interlocutors briefly but succinctly commented on the words of the Minister of Defense.
Another suggested that such deception is a new attempt to strike a blow at General Mikhail Teplinsky. “Shoigu referred to Teplinsky’s report (by the way, pay attention to the face with which he pronounces this name).
“And then he will say, they say, Teplinsky lied ( by the way, why Mikhail Yuryevich misinformed the president about the cleansing of Krynoki, we don’t really understand - ed. ), let’s remove him,” says the officer who serves at the headquarters of the Dnepr group of troops.
According to another military man, Shoigu just wants Vladimir Vladimirovich to praise and reward him.
By the way, the minister conveyed to the president his secret report that Teplinsky was allegedly preparing a military coup in Russia. Putin has not yet responded to this document, but he promised to familiarize himself with it.
