Ikv 91 – A Lightweight Sniper

The Ikv 91 is a light infantry fighting and support vehicle developed by Hägglunds. This tank was designed to fill a similar role as the Russian PT-76 tanks. The first prototypes of this vehicle were delivered in 1969 and underwent in-depth testing by the armed forces. The first prototypes did not feature an automatic transmission and also were only equipped with an optical rangefinder, which required the commander’s cupola to be notably bigger. In 1972, the Swedish army ordered 200 Ikv 91 tanks, with another 12 being ordered in 1975. After several modernization attempts, this vehicle was ultimately retired in 2002.

CV 90105 TML — A familiar Stranger

The CV 90105 TML was a conceptualized light tank that resulted from a cooperation between Hägglunds and GIAT on the basis of the CV 90 platform while using various already existing components. The vehicle was showcased at Eurosatory in 1994 and was meant to show the multirole usage and capabilities of the CV 90 chassis. The vehicle underwent in-depth testing, but ultimately no country ever showed interest in the tank, and the project was abandoned.

Begleitpanzer 57 - A Versatile Hunter

The Begleitpanzer 57 is a West German experimental vehicle of the late 1970s. Developed by Thyssen-Henschel in collaboration with Bofors, it was designed to fill a presumed niche in the fighting vehicles market at the time. The Begleit, based on the chassis of the Marder IFV, was classified as an Armored Infantry Fire Support Vehicle, or AIFSV for short. This vehicle has been developed privately with no government contract or similar ever given out for it. Only one prototype of this fighting vehicle was ever finished.

Bandkanon 1C - Fast Firing and Explosive

The Bandkanon was a Self-Propelled Artillery Gun developed by Bofors from 1960 to 1965. It was part of a longer Swedish Army project to develop a modern autoloaded SPAG for its forces. The Bkan was based on the S-tank chassis and initially used the powerpack of the A version, which was severely underpowered to drive this 50-ton tank. Because of this, all Bkans were later upgraded to the powerpack of the Strv 103C, giving it the 1C designation.

CV 90120 - Fierce and Fast

The Combat Vehicle 90120 is a Swedish light tank built on the CV 90 chassis, combining high mobility with formidable firepower. Designed to offer a cost-effective alternative to main battle tanks, it features a powerful 120mm gun and advanced systems to enhance battlefield performance.

How to fly your J 35A "Draken"

The J 35A Draken is a second-generation Swedish jet fighter that was manufactured by SAAB from 1955 until 1974. This legendary aircraft had its maiden flight in 1955 and was designed to replace the aging J 29 Tunnan and J 32 Lansen as an all-weather fighter-interceptor. Further, the Draken was the first West European jet fighter to breach the sound barrier and is well known for its very unique looks and shape. In War Thunder, this unique aircraft is a premium jet fighter that used to be in the Swedish air tree but has since been removed to only appear on special occasions. It was introduced with the update “Direct Hit”.
