I came to Arsenalen last summer, fifteen minutes before opening time and Stefan Karlsson was just taking out the trash on the parking lot. Such a normal and humble guy. ;)
@@Skuggan84 Can you please do a video of how to start the 2 engines from the inside like where the starter buttons and such are located? Thank you love the video's.
@@christianforsstrom2222 I wouldn't get out even if they turned the tank upside down and shook it. Come to think of it - I wouldn't probably even get inside it in the first place...
Great to see Stefan again - missed his wonderful Videos & gentle sense of Humour. Between Stefan doing these gymnastics & Ryan from Battleship New Jersey crawling through the entire length of one of the Ship's 16" Gun Barrels, isn't it time The Tank Museum stepped up? 😉
It's really fun to see Stefan and the 103 again. He has such interesting stories & experiences (and he's Swedish :D), and the tank is such a unique design with amazing characteristics and an amazing figure!
While it was a good tank when it was created, you really need a turret today since modern tanks are firing on the move. It was the introduction of gyro stabilized cannons that made this tank obsolete not matter of upgrades.
@@drosendahl Who knows, maybe one day the suspension could be stabilized and the gun could have more sideways wiggleroom with a horizontal stabilizer with the two systems working in tandem ;) it's totally a space tech idea as of currently, but who knows, if that day came, the shape of the tank shape and model would be very apt for radar/surveilance cloaking combined with therm-camo.
Aloha; very interesting and entertaining. Yes; I can empathize with your regret about doing this! Now for the Chieftain to follow suit - "Oh look, the tank is broken down and we're under fire - time to use the alternate exit!" Mahalo
What I'd like to see would be the optics, the sights and the periscope view. That and loading a shell, filling the fuel tank, routine maintenance, pretty much anything from cooking to sleeping would be interesting though.
Interesting as always. Your experience of tanks helps tremendously with your story telling. Excellent. (glad I don't have to do that under heavy enemy fire)
Great, I was a bit reluctant, but you made it out quite well, congratulations. Not a bad construction. If possible, I would like to see you (& team) firing the S-tank, a eral shot, but not only the shot, the whole procedure, aiming, loading and releasing the shot from the inside. Just a proposal.
Crush some cars !!!!! S-Tank versus a tree, S-tank vs a horse (race) and so on S-Tank vs a 2CV The possibilities are endless, and that tank does not look tired. Awesome looking thing. What are the tubes on the side?
A Swedish car show made a “consumer” evaluation of the S.Tank, Including parallel parking, room for luggage etc. Look for “Trafikmagasinet Stridsvagn S”
The S-Tank is my favorite tank of all time. I would like to see a side by side comparison of the S-Tank and a regular tank traversing the gun as well as adjusting angle. Just to see the speed difference. How much does it change on different Terrain like dry sand vs deep mud?
uh, i'd never have thought that the floor hatches would have been used for escaping when the tank was under fire, only if tipped over; i guess it'd make more sense than to try your luck going over the top the ideal would be a hatch in the rear face of the hull/turret like the rear door on the French WWI-interwar turrets or loaders hatch on the German big cats
Nice video and good education thanks. And of cause nice work getting out of the S tank 😀 i would love to try actually, don't think i can do this as fast as you
The irony is that the worst part of this little exercise was probably getting the dropped hatch back on, since one has climb under the tank, pick up the rather dense piece of steel while lying on their back or stomach, then hold hold the thing up against gravity while carefully aligning the bits! Very kind of the people to go through that hassle for the benefit of us people on the Internet.
Is there any protection system in the case that the pneumatic suspension fail? (If the tank in under direct fire maybe some systems are failing) --- I think that it will very awful being crushed by the weight of your own tank.
Thank you for the video, the procedure is interesting. However, I do have a question, around the one-minute mark. You have 6 cylinder-shaped items with small fins to your left, what are they?
My only concern is real-world field-conditions, regardless of season. Soft ground or snow will block that route no matter the crewman's size... I'm not claustrophobic - just don't close the hatch ;) Respect to all Tankers
actually, this vehicle should be given to the Ukrainian army. The training interval is short, it is easy to use and you have to try it. What can it do in a real war ??????
I think that he cheated! He has been on a diet since New Years Eve, he made his NYE promise to his wife to lose at least 10kg before BEACH22. Well done! Russian/Soviet tanks are usually smaller? And they only hired small statued personnel, is that true?

As any great leader... don't ask your team to do anything you are not willing or able to do yourself.
@@Skuggan84 Can you please do a video of how to start the 2 engines from the inside like where the starter buttons and such are located? Thank you love the video's.
@@fast_cars_and_bikes.good_life no. You would have to ask Stefan about that. I don't have access to any of the vehicles ;)
@@Skuggan84 okay thanks for the information
"Oh bugger the tank is on fire" Swedish edition, well done sir! Chieftain will be proud, bet he can't do the same :P
"Skit också, pansarvagnen brinner" :D
@@MrBigCookieCrumble "Skit också, pansarvagnen brinner, and the hatch has shrunk as badly as my uniform!"
The Chieftain is handicapped by his tall frame, the rest of us by our girth!
@@birgerjohansson8010 I'm as tall as the Chieftain and girthy, I guess I'm screwed :D
@@christianforsstrom2222 I wouldn't get out even if they turned the tank upside down and shook it. Come to think of it - I wouldn't probably even get inside it in the first place...
Ryan will be relieved to hear that he's not the only curator/director that gets send into all the narrow and dirty spaces for our amusement.
Great to see Stefan again - missed his wonderful Videos & gentle sense of Humour.

Credit to Stefan for squeezing out of that escape hatch lol
I would like to see a video about how the S-Tank is kept in running order by the museum
Score one for us old guys. I have to admit though I flinched a little when I saw Stefan's head getting close to that support stand. Glad he missed it!
Thanks fot your sacrifice for the comunnity!!, Good job in this escape, many thanks!!
Our man Stefan hasn't lost the moves, he was out the hatch in no time.
"oh bugger, the tank is on fire and the hatch shrunk as badly as my uniform!"
Thank you, it's magnificent.
It's really fun to see Stefan and the 103 again. He has such interesting stories & experiences (and he's Swedish :D), and the tank is such a unique design with amazing characteristics and an amazing figure!
A well trained wiggle. Fantastic!
Sweden should re create this model ASAP, with the newest tech angle & new metal tech & greater new ammo type & Cannon size, engine. Everythin!
While it was a good tank when it was created, you really need a turret today since modern tanks are firing on the move. It was the introduction of gyro stabilized cannons that made this tank obsolete not matter of upgrades.

I'm a little claustrophobic. Got almost some shivers from the video.😵💫
Not to shy to do it himself. Great director and funny man
We need Nicholas Moran "the cheiftan" to visit Arsenalen and try this Challange ;)
Aloha; very interesting and entertaining. Yes; I can empathize with your regret about doing this! Now for the Chieftain to follow suit - "Oh look, the tank is broken down and we're under fire - time to use the alternate exit!" Mahalo
Now do it as Quick as possible....
As great man said... "OH bugger... the tank is on fire"
it would be really cool to see the procedure for engaging targets in the 103 and if possible, compared to the 104 :D
I'd like you to do that in the normal battle gear (mid/late 90:s), including the helmet, weapon, and gas mask. :)
I like to see the how S-tank is set up in amphibious gear
Det skulle intressent att se hur den görs redo för att simma
What I'd like to see would be the optics, the sights and the periscope view. That and loading a shell, filling the fuel tank, routine maintenance, pretty much anything from cooking to sleeping would be interesting though.
Wow, fascinating, thanks, I had no idea
Interesting as always. Your experience of tanks helps tremendously with your story telling. Excellent. (glad I don't have to do that under heavy enemy fire)
Tack för the intressanta och roliga videos ni lägger ut, väldigt informativa. Jag får komma och besöka er någon dag.
Awesome job! You haven't forgotten your training from the old days! I do still remember much from mine. But you put it to the test!
Interesting - thanks. Of course in the event of a real escape event the hatch would already be open for the commander making it a little faster.
Great, I was a bit reluctant, but you made it out quite well, congratulations. Not a bad construction.

I like to learn more about the suspension of the S-tank, how does it go up and down?
i love the S-tank so much
Congratulations!
Good one. Thank you Sir!
Great effort! Let’s see if The Chieftain can do it!
It`s awesome! many thanks!
Sofilein - gets out in 5 seconds.
Oh Bugger, the tanks on fire! 😱
I would really like to see me driving it 😎
10/10 worth asking
The S-Tank is my favorite tank of all time. I would like to see a side by side comparison of the S-Tank and a regular tank traversing the gun as well as adjusting angle. Just to see the speed difference. How much does it change on different Terrain like dry sand vs deep mud?
Your one brave soul to do this for the public.😋

the ideal would be a hatch in the rear face of the hull/turret like the rear door on the French WWI-interwar turrets or loaders hatch on the German big cats
That part of the S-tank is occupied by a radio/intercom transciever as well as the autoloader and ammo racks.
It's also a feature of the Merkava. At least the older ones. Not sure about the newer models.
Kul hur du bjuder på dig själv 👍 Kanonfilmer!
nice!
I think you are in pretty good shape. Cheers.
Well done!
Can you please show how to start the engines from the inside like where the starter buttons are located
I would like to see The Chieftain to do the trick, but I don't think it is physically possible :)
Mr. Karlsson, please make videos of s-tank combat practice against tureted tanks. Thank you.
I have to assume that by the time the commander gets to the hatch, it is already open.
He exited the tank like a slippery eel. Damn.
you sir are an impressively flexible man
show us hwo to turn on the tank engine and how to open the engine hatches
Nice video and good education thanks. And of cause nice work getting out of the S tank 😀 i would love to try actually, don't think i can do this as fast as you
Maybe you should get a current serving Swedish soldier to do the same exercise?
In any event thanks for showing the emergency exit process.
snyggt jobbat! (nice Work!) 😄
Good job and yes more videos like this.
How do you start the engine of the stridsvagn?
🥵 Now do it in the dark with smoke, to simulate fire after LAW strike🔥 🤯 👍🏴
So Cool!
Great video and congratulations :) I'm very grateful my ferret has two side hatches that are much bigger than the S-Tank's/
How difficult was it to train the Main gun on a target? Especially when the S-Tank is dug in a hull-down position?
So, basically, this is "oh bugger, the tank is on fire"
Is it possible for you to check the internal armour thickness between the crew and where the engine bay is?
That was great. Who was tasked with putting the hatch back in?
The irony is that the worst part of this little exercise was probably getting the dropped hatch back on, since one has climb under the tank, pick up the rather dense piece of steel while lying on their back or stomach, then hold hold the thing up against gravity while carefully aligning the bits!
Very kind of the people to go through that hassle for the benefit of us people on the Internet.
That was both interesting and entertaining, many thanks! How do you say in Swedish "Oh my God, the tank is on fire!" ? ;-)
Åh Herregud, stridsvagnen brinner!
Is there any protection system in the case that the pneumatic suspension fail? (If the tank in under direct fire maybe some systems are failing) --- I think that it will very awful being crushed by the weight of your own tank.
After doing that one time we didn't get the seal tight. Discovered that the same moment we drove through 1 m of water 😮
Interesting procedure to see. How fast can a trained crew leave this tank like that? Greetz DutchDave
Det har du gjort förut!
I would love to see it
driven at its max speed
WOW AMAZING CAR
Thank you for the video, the procedure is interesting. However, I do have a question, around the one-minute mark. You have 6 cylinder-shaped items with small fins to your left, what are they?
Plastic tubes for grenades for the Lyran Flare launcher.
The sorry excuse for a night fighting system ;)
"Åh, bugger, tanken brinner"
LETS GO SWEDEN GANG
Bravo! Now I'm using this word... does it originate from brave ..? 🤔
Nice video
Skulle vara roligt och se om hur Nicholas skulle lyckas med detta.
My only concern is real-world field-conditions, regardless of season. Soft ground or snow will block that route no matter the crewman's size...
I'm not claustrophobic - just don't close the hatch ;)
Respect to all Tankers
Hur många luckor förlorades under vanlig körning?
Visa gärna hur man fäller upp flytanordningen så att vagnen kan simma.
Ow, I bet that resulted in an epic collection of scrapes and bruises.
Okay.. That was on perfectly flat surface. What if you drive offroad and the tracks are 30 cm in the mud.
Hur den låter när den skjuter på riktigt
grilled hotdogs please!
Interesting video, now dress in crew kit, with a full crew and set the tank on fire.🙂
But take your microphone off😉
Thank you for making the video👍🏻
Jag fick klaustrofobikänsla bara av att titta på filmen.
Imponerande, en mask skulle inte gjort det smidigare!
No "fatties" in an S-tank!!!
I just wanna see every single thing about the s tank lol
Of course, the wagon will always be on a hard surface and not half way up the wheels in mud and soil, just sayin' ;-)
actually, this vehicle should be given to the Ukrainian army. The training interval is short, it is easy to use and you have to try it. What can it do in a real war ??????
Now make the Chieftain do it haha
