ASCOD (Pizzaro/Ulan) vs CV90 family

[Lysander]

How does the ASCOD family of IFV designed by Austria and Spain compare to the CV90 family designed by Sweden? What are the costs of purchase and operating costs of both vehicles?

I'd go for the CV 90 anyday. A straight on comparision goes in favor of the CV 90 and when you look at international sales the facts speak for themselves.

The CV 9035 Mk III that's on show this summer is probably the best IFV in the world today.

IIRC, the two types were tested in Norway, with the CV90 being the winner. How much better is the CV90? In terms of protection, mobility, firepower?
