PVPJ1110 is a large 90 mm caliber recoilless gun developed and produced by Saab Bofors Power in Sweden, which was adopted by the Swedish army as a standard**, firing 90 760 mm shells.
This ** is similar in nature to the Carl Gustaf recoilless gun, but the latter is more miniaturized and has been in service since the mid-40s.
PVPJ1110 entered service in the early 60s and was phased out of the Swedish army in the late 90s, after about 1600 doors were produced. About 300 of them were transferred to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. On the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received "PVPJ 1110" recoilless guns of Swedish production, which were probably delivered from Estonia.
The design of PVPJ1110 began at the end of the 60s of the 20th century, when the Swedish army put forward a need for a new self-propelled gun suitable for mobile and urban combat. The Swedish military wanted to have a light, highly maneuverable, recoilless artillery that would adapt to the needs of rapid maneuverability and urban environments.
The development of PVPJ1110 is led by Bofors, a key player in the Swedish defense industry. In the early 70s of the 20th century, the PVPJ1110 debuted, and in subsequent years it was tested and refined. It uses recoilless technology, which achieves stability and maneuverability on light vehicles by absorbing the recoil of the gun.
One of the main features of the PVPJ1110 is its recoilless design, which allows it to have almost no recoil when firing, which improves the accuracy and stability of the gun in a moving state. It is also equipped with an advanced fire control system, including a rangefinder and a ballistic computer, to improve the accuracy of the shot.
PVPJ1110 soon became part of the Swedish army, equipping armored brigades of the Swedish army. Due to its lightweight, high maneuverability and recoil-free characteristics, the PVPJ1110 performs well in forests, cities and other complex terrains. It became one of the main artillery pieces of the Swedish army in a specific tactical environment.
With the success of PVPJ1110 in the Swedish army, Bofors introduced it to the international market. Some countries have purchased PVPJ1110, further verifying its suitability in a variety of tactical environments. In addition, the Swedish PVPJ1110 has been repeatedly improved to adapt to new technical and operational needs.
Although the prototype of the PVPJ1110 was designed in the 70s of the last century, due to its advanced design and flexibility, it still continues to be in service with some armies and has been used in some military conflicts in recent years. Modernization improvements have allowed the PVPJ1110 to remain somewhat competitive in the digital battlefield environment.
With its advanced design and unique technical features, the Bofors PVPJ1110 recoilless gun provides Sweden and some international customers with a highly mobile artillery solution adapted to urban and complex terrain. Its history reflects the successful experience of the Swedish military-industrial complex in the field of light artillery. Military
