History of this tank:
Tank Strv 103C, also known as S-tank, was a Swedish tank developed in the 1960s. This tank was a response to the threat posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Its development and production took place between 1967 and 1971.
The uniqueness of this tank lay in its turretless design, which differed from traditional tanks of that era. Instead of moving the cannon, the gun was controlled by changing the position of the chassis. This innovative construction allowed the tank to better conceal itself on the battlefield and easily blend in with terrain irregularities.
Strv 103C had a very low profile, providing it with the advantage of surprise and better camouflage. Its armament consisted of a 105mm main gun Bofors L/62, which was highly effective against enemy armored targets.
This Swedish tank remained in service with the Swedish Army until the 1990s when it was gradually replaced by more modern vehicles. Nevertheless, it gained respect among military experts for its unique design and the ability to surprise enemies. Strv 103C became one of the most well-known Swedish tanks, and its significance in the history of tank design continues to be recognized today.
