zaujimavy starsi svedsky koncept






"The polar opposite of the Soviet tanks is the defensively-designed Swedish Stridsvagn 103. Built like a high-tech tank destroyer, but serving the role of a tank, this turretless vehicle is made to nearly disappear in a hull-down position. It has an even lower profile than Soviet MBTs, with a fixed, auto-loaded gun that is nearly flat against the roof. Its design gets around the Soviet tanks' limitations by tilting the entire tank hull to elevate (and depress) the gun. The Stridsvagn 103 also has an integral dozer blade, and a second set of rear-facing driver controls for the radio operator, allowing it to withdraw from a hull-down position at full speed. This radical, specialized design was created for its hypothetical defensive role on roads in a forested country."
