Generally the X2 train is used, but because of lack of vehicles, sometimes (especially in 2009/2010) other train types have previously been used, like X40 or Rc loco-hauled stock. ![]() X 2000 was originally a brand name for a number of train connections with a certain service level. Modernised (2003–2007) second class interior In the end 43 sets were built for SJ while one was built for the Guangshen Railway Company, China. SJ ordered 20 sets in August 1986 and planned to order a further 30. A tilting train provided the advantages of high speed and comfort for the passengers, as tilting trains can run through sharp (short radius or tight) curves up to 15% faster than non-tilting trains. As a result, a Swedish tilting train had to be developed. The reason the X2 was chosen was that Sweden (like most other countries) has very curved railways, and not enough traffic to justify building special high-speed railway lines (at least before 1990). It has a top commercial speed of 200 km/h (124 mph), but has reached 276 km/h (171 mph) in a test. The trains have been fitted with repeaters to improve mobile phone reception. The trains also have electric power supply sockets at all seats in both first and second class. All trains are equipped with Wi-Fi for passenger access to the Internet and were repainted grey as of 2005. There is a bistro on board that serves snack bar-style dishes. It was constructed by Kalmar Verkstad in Kalmar, Sweden (prior to the company being bought by Adtranz in 1996) and launched in 1990 as a first-class only train with a meal included in the ticket price, and free use of the train's fax machine. X 2000, also called SJ X2 or simply as X2, is an electric tilting train operated by SJ in Sweden.

Crotale air defense system of the French Armed Forces. ![]() It is adopted in service by France, Finland, Greece, and the Netherlands. It is designed to combat air targets in the range of medium, low, and extremely low altitudes. The Crotale is a French all-weather, short-range, surface-to-air missile system developed by Thomson CSF Matra. He emphasized that this request is being considered in Paris. He did not specify what kind of weapon this regarded. Lecornu added that Ukraine has formed a request for multiple launch rocket systems that will allow striking at a long distance. They will be especially useful in the fight against drones and air attacks,” the minister said.Īlso, France is considering sending 6 to 12 Caesar self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine, canceling their supply to Denmark. We are going to provide, as announced by the President of the Republic, reliable Crotale air defense systems. “The priority is unequivocally ground-to-air defense.
