@2009Infidel I've worked on those "Top-10" shows and... well, come on, its a fucking TV show, not the Judgement of History for All time. When you leave grade-school I advise not taking TV so seriously.

@TrilskenAAA if philippines buy this tank they have same terrain just like the swedes but in the jungle only

@2009Infidel "The only scenario that would have favored the Strv 103, is a dug-in defensive/ambush position" No shit man. That is what it was built for, defensive!

@2009Infidel The Germans used turretless designs very effectively during the second world war, the Stug III for example was one of the top tank killers in the Wehrmacht. And the Strv 103 was not the only tank in service with the Swedish armed forces, there were more conventional designs with turrets in use as well. Also Swedish terrain isn't exactly the most suitable for tank warfare anyway, nearly 70% of the country is covered by forest and there's plenty of lakes, rivers and streams.

@2009Infidel discoverychannel? wtf?!? hahahah

Oh yeah I remember that "highly scientific" British Bullshit Show on Discovery Channel LOL. The S Tank however didn't make fifth place on that incredible list but came in sixth - before the extremely for its time advanced T-72 and battle-proven WW II models like the Sherman, Panther and Sheridan. Not very plausible is it? Discovery channel is alone in listing the S tank under top 10. It doen't even make top 15 in alternative studies.

What a piece of junk! It would never have survived its baptism of fire. The Swedes are lucky push never came to shove because the Soviet T-64 and T-72 tanks would have made short work out of these steel coffins. A tank without a rotating turret is useless on a constantly shifting battlefield. The only scenario that would have favored the Strv 103, is a dug-in defensive/ambush position, which to succeed, would always require the enemy to come unsuspectedly wandering into its sights.

awsome tank!

The Dutch army could use them. Lots of flat country so we can hide behind the occasional dyke. Do they come in flat-packs like Ikea furniture?
Great Tank IF used in Swedish woods. Custom built for their purposes, not much good for open field, deserts, etc...
Those folks know how to build stuff. Never underestimate a Swede!!
