Estonia buys extra CV90s from Norway (11. Januar 2016)
http://web.archive.org/web/201603250154 ... rom-norwayEstonia has bought additional CV90 armoured fighting vehicles (AFV) for its armed forces, signing a contract for 35 more CV90 hulls from Norway on 8 January.
The additional units will complement the 44 CV9035NL infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) that Estonia purchased from the Netherlands in December 2014.
The contract was signed on 8 January during a visit to Norway by Jonatan Vseviov, the undersecretary for defence planning at the Estonian Ministry of Defence (MoD). The total cost of the purchase was EUR600,000, an MoD spokesperson told IHS Jane's on 11 January.
Estonia has only purchased the hulls of the CV90s from Norway, as the CV9030N variant of the Norwegian IFV uses a different (30 mm) cannon from the 35 mm cannon of the Dutch CV90 IFVs that Estonia already purchased. Instead, Estonia is planning to convert these additional Norwegian CV90 hulls into combat support (CS) and combat service support (CSS) vehicle variants. They will complement the CV9035 IFVs within the Scout battalion of the Estonian 1st Infantry Brigade, the country's only full-readiness professional military unit.
The MoD is understood to be planning for this conversion work to be made in Estonia.

National Defence Development Plan 2013-2022
https://kaitseministeerium.ee/sites/def ... n_2013.pdf10. With regard to land operations, the main focus during the development plan’s planning period is on establishing high-readiness infantry brigades, developing armoured manoeuvre capability and upgrading anti-tank capability.
- The 1st infantry brigade shall be completely equipped and armed. The professional Scoutsbattallion within the brigade will receive modern infantry fighting vehicles; the rest of the brigade’s manoeuvre battalions will be equipped with armoured personnel carriers.
- By 2022, the 2nd infantry brigade shall achieve it ́s full operational capability, which will significantly increase the Defence Forces’ engage(ment) and rapid-response capability.
- The Defence Forces’ anti-tank capability will be enhanced significantly thanks to procurement of the most modern anti-tank missile systems for both brigades.
- To ensure mobile in-direct fire support capability, 155mm self-propelled howitzers shall be introduced into service.
- In addition to the above, the development plan also acknowledges the need for heavy armoured manoeuvre capability – tanks – and medium-range air-defence capability. Due to resource limitations, it will be possible to start developing these capabilities by 2022, but not achieve the fully operational capability. The decision with regard to developing heavy armoured manoeuvre capability and medium-range air-defence capability will be made during the time of the preparation of the next national defence development plan in 2016.
