Hagglunds Ikv-91 Tank Destroyer

The Ikv-91 was used solely by the swedish army. It has 90mm gun, is amphibious with propulsion coming from its tracks and bizarrely the diesel tanks form part of the armour. This asside with wide tracks and a strong engine it has exceptionally good off-road mobility and the low ground pressure allows it to operate over snow.

Dude it's an infantry support veichle.

It was to be remade into a tankdestroyer but program ran out of funds.

The thing is not supposed to take out other tanks but veichels and positions.

I think the technology gotten better even tho the size still the same. AP, accuracy, multi-purpose rounds and above all "digital warfare".

it was. had something about 500 mm of steel penetration and the low-velocity part wasn't that low rather high as some guns used in ww2 but bigger caliber thou than the 75 mm used on shermans

this can not be a tank destroyer, i mean sovjet ww2 tank destroyers had a 100mm gun, so i fugured by this time we should be using biger guns huhmm?

@torm2l5 Like whole Swedish army nowadays, no offense.

@omfg4000

It was meant to support infantry in heavily wooden areas with soft ground and lots of rivers and lakes, where the Centurion and S-103 were obviously too heavy to go.

a low-velocity 90 mm gun that fires heat-missiles.. pretty useless now
