Actually, that's pretty interesting. If used correctly, it could be capable of clearing a minefield. With the siege mode, it can burrow the front armor into the ground and then raise it up after moving forwards about 1 to 3 feet, and then lifting the front to clean out any mines.

***** There's no reason why it can't be both. Definition of "Tank Destroyer" from Wikipedia: "A tank destroyer or tank hunter is a type of armoured fighting vehicle, armed with a direct-fire artillery gun or missile launcher, with limited operational capacities and designed specifically to engage enemy armoured vehicles." It might be classified as a Main Battle Tank, but MBT's are generally defined by their versatility. This tank isn't exactly versatile, so surely you can understand why people refer to it as a tank destroyer?

And if you reverse you topple the pile, causing enough ruckus to double the proximity spotting distance for three seconds.

For those interested, one of these was modified to be remote controlled. This was demonstrated to work in the field, but judged by the generals as "too futuristic", and thus cancelled. Perhaps just as well, wouldn't want drone versions of these driving around modern battlefields.

Got to love this. "Unlike other countries, who strive to create versitile combat vehicles, the swedes focused on just a few main parameters. High protection and improved manouverability." As do everybody else. And a 105mm auto loaded, 1shot/ 3sec, 50 shot, 1500m/s gun.

Nicknamed? The nickname is S-tank and Strv-103 is its true name (Stridsvagn 103).

It’s says a lot when the tank weights 40 tons with not turret. It has a extremely good armor but also a good frontal angle of the design. It is also strong in the sides. But almost no tank fire that fast like the s tank. It was also one of the first with laser range finder. It had many good inventions that people don’t know of. It don’t have a turret and that’s is the only negative. It’s not that easy to turn a turret in densely Forrest with much trees

That tank is so cool. Been a while I know him (from Wargame Airland Battle) and I still love him

History has taught that technical superiority in military weapons will never overcome numerical superiority. A dozen cheap, shitty tanks will always overwhelm a single, brilliant tank.

6:54 hoooly "shit"

The strv 103’s engine and transmission can be easily taken out by a well placed HEAT and HESH but it is basically invulnerable to AP, and APCR from the front No crew should no be hurt or taken out due to a 30mm thick plate between the engine compartment and the crew compartment. The gunner,driver and commander would not matter due to the fact that every crew has a duplicate control for every crew if the gunner was taken out, the commander or the driver can take over so If the driver was hurt or the gunner is hurt, the tank’s overall performance will not decrease unless both crew is hurt, even then the commander can overdrive the controls and drive and shoot by him self

Swedish Steel Kicks Ass Every Day!

The Bofors Gun was superior for its time👍🏻

One component of an effective defense (which is what this tank is tailor made for) is a counter attack. I don’t know how you could counter attack with a battalion of these tanks. There’s a reasons why most tanks have turrets and similar designs. Not to mention it looks like a maintenance nightmare. I get why it was built but I also get why nobody makes tanks like this.

It has been said that truly great engineers begin with something designed to perform a function and than start removing the bits that don't serve that function or can be replaced with something else. 1. Fact. A tank needs a stable suspension for accurate shooting and most modern tanks have active suspensions used in laying the gun. 2. If you need a stable and active suspension to assist gun laying? Eliminate the turret part. An elegant and inspired decision.

Put an auto loading gun with video sights on top of a low profile passenger compartment with no connection to the gun. The gun would rotate so you can drive and shoot at the same tome of course, I don't see the point of the target on top of the tank being connected to the passenger compartment.

Look's like an Arty shell hitting that vehicle will wreck it due to its almost completely flat profile

Please buff the armor to 43mm so that it can bounce 122mm and 128mm shells.
