This tank is absolutely amazing. Had it not been for that modern warfare requires high mobility I bet that this would still be the one of the best tanks in use. Just look at the angle of its front armour! You could probably shoot anything at it and it would just bounce off. That along with its low profile and ability to dig itself down makes it a lethal ambusher that you probably wouldn't see until it's too late and would be hard to hit Absolutely perfect for Swedish terrain!.
Yeah , to me it seems like a mistake to not produce it anymore , they should build on this and modernise it, my gut feeling tells me this would crush the enemies in a war , especially in scandinavian conditions
@@a11an72 Not being able to shoot while moving wasn't a big deal when it was first made since no other tanks of that era could score a hit on the move anyway. Now when all other tanks have stabilized guns, not having that possibility puts the 103 at a great disadvantage.
Hans lasersnack är så jäkla kul! xD samtidigt förstår man ju att han är så ivrig. Lasern var ju revolutionerande på den tiden! Men det är kul att höra att det, som nu är vardagssnack mer eller mindre, då var det coolaste som fanns :D
Today yes, but when the tank was new and many years from that the difference wasn't big. The engineers that designed it wasn't stupid, everything was tested and evaluated. And about standing in the same place, it was as fast backwards as forward and one crew member sat backwards and could drive the tank if needed. The last version of the 103 was tested against the Leopard 2 tank, and managed to win a defensive battle, loosing just one tank.
@GrossGluck Indeed, the leopard 2 Is a mutch more flexibale tank and im glad we replaced it whit it, anyhow. In a defensive war in northen Sweden, this tank still have enourmus potential for its price, specialy in winter. There are sufficent cover from radar today, and its not ment to stay in a prolonged fight. Few rounds from its cannon, then retreat and dig in. Basicly its ment to make heavy casualties on armor and survive, perfect for the russians T-80s+ that they still use today.
@GrossGluck More likely be taken out by other tanks. It cannot fire while on the move, which wasn't a particularily big weakness back them, as most tanks had to fire while stationary anyhow, but now, with modern towers and fast aiming and aligning systems it wouldn't last long against others. Still I friggin LOVE the design.
Ok so why swedish don't make tank anymore and use the Leopard 2 ??? EDIT: So a guy said in the comment that it's more expensive to create it based on your own idea than buy from other. But as much as i know was developing your own tank is actually less money needed than buying from another country. Remember the swedish started to developing on their own because the brits mark 1 was too expensive and swedish was not a rich country back in 1900s. The same did and still do by many countries.
Why are you so interested in Swedens military? In the Archer video, you talked about attack helicopter, and in the comments you said you weren't even Swedish :o
är själv karlsborgare, tycker det var jäkla synd att dom la ner F6, vi skulle behöva lite jobb här. Men, K3 finns fortfarande kvar, det är ju tur det =)
Sweden has a few left and i think UK have some also. And yes the tank can fire during move. But the chance of hit the enemy is like 0. The tank is designed for a cold winter day in the deep wood's in the northern Sweden.
jag saknar den här typen av svensk television. mvh en ifrån 84 och är hel less på sverige idag som vi går mot nu är inget roligt se fram emot. specielt när invandrare tar bit för bit. hej svejs.
Ja fast vilka "idag" vet var det står för? Jag tror inte du kan förklara de fysiska elementen eller optiska fakta direkt från huvudet om man är normalt skolad ens.
Varför har man inte vidareutvecklat och moderniserat denna strv? Finns det någon anledning till att inte göra det? Annan än den löjligt låga budget FM rör sig med idag?
Interesting film, and please remember that this tank was designed 40 years ago. To compare with modern tanks is hardly relevant. Looking back at WWII the Germans used similar tanks with susses at least in defense.
In the same way as an ironship. The amount of water it press away press back on the tank. So together with the swimming device the tank press away more weight water then the tanks weight
Det går alldeles utmärkt att skjuta under gång, men eftersom pjäsen inte är stabiliserad är det lite si och så med träffsäkerheten - precis som det var med alla samtida vagnar.
Even though it's and old peice of eq, a couple of houndreds of these, scattered around would do some good difference when aimed at immigratns, sorry infantry*
A great tank with one serious problem, you can't kill enemies! Mobility is keyword in battle and this tank is a sitting duck. In the 50's it made sense but improvement in technolgy made the design an disadvantage. A Swedish failure..
I don't speak Swedish yet I like Sweden and I love the Strv 103 it is my favorite tank, thank you
Amazing tank!! The film's end is so creative and hilarious!

Det är A 32A Lansen som utför napalmbombing mot stridsvagen i reportaget
Misstänker att flygplanet kom från närliggande F 6 Karlsborg.
cars on the road look prehistoric compared to how modern and high-tech the strv looks.
I was just thinking the exact same 😁

too expensive too develop a whole new tank

***** I moved to Sweden 6 years ago...
LMG Light-Machine-Gun ah :)
LMG Light-Machine-Gun Because the stridsvagn s was technicaly unreliable and too designed for swedish use so anyone else wouldnt buy it.
what propels the tank while swimming? The tracks?
adamcrookedsmile i think the jet engine?
Yes, the tracks propels the tank. F.ex. Higher speed on the left track makes the tank move to the right. Just as on land.
The best optics was the glasses behind the optics, without them, they would miss :)
@SgtDrDeath those are numbers of exercise but those that count are the ones from battle
"You can't kill enemies" ,"this tank is a sitting duck" I don't want to live on this planet anymore!
if you dont know what we have in sweden dont bother to complain ;)

Stridsvagnarna åker i Skövde (p4 pansarregementet) om någon undrar, dock så ser det inte riktigt ut så idag, men likheter finns fortfarande :)

Men, K3 finns fortfarande kvar, det är ju tur det =)
Inte nu längre
Jäklar vilken bra markfrigång

@Red0100 som om du visste att laser är förkortning för light amplification by stimulated emittion of radiation. :-P
Haha, skrattar åt att han i början måste förklara vad laser är för någo. Tiden går fort.
Nice tank

Yes!
Tänk att vara föraren när den kör i vattnet. Fan va skrämmande.
Hela besättningen befinner sig på stridsvagnens utsidan vid simning.
looooooooool here's 10 pts to you, sir!

Haha! "sveriges försvar är en flotte!" *BAM* en stridsvagn på stranden :D
Ville ju se den skjuta under vatten =P
det tar över 20 min att resa bälgen.. O det går inte skjuta vid fart, måste stå stilla.
Det går alldeles utmärkt att skjuta under gång, men eftersom pjäsen inte är stabiliserad är det lite si och så med träffsäkerheten - precis som det var med alla samtida vagnar.
surt om det börjar läcka

Fredrik Hansson cant kill enemies? its very accurate and has a 105 mm gun...this tank was Projected to defend Sweden from any attacks
