The Strv M/31 light tank was produced by Sweden's' first tank factory, the AB Landsverk Company factory at Landskrona. It had many features that were very advanced for its time. The Strv M/31 had a welded two-man turret and welded hull. It also had a two-way radio communication and high performance sighing, optical and vision devices. A German Bussing V6 gasoline engine powered the Strv M/31.
Its main armament was a rapid-fire high-velocity 1.46 inch (37mm) gun that was housed in the turret along with a coaxial machine gun. Another machine gun was operated by the driver. |
