About the strv103 :
Did you know Strv103 had automatic loading system allowing 15 rounds per minute ?
Did you know the tank could travel backwards as fast as forward ? One crewman is actually sitting as reardriver and could drive backward to next defending position alredy dug in prepared.
You had a sihulette of less than one meter high when in dugin position.
I served some with 103 as well .
Look at this picture how its builtin dozer blade prepare the tank itself for a defensive position.

It also good to know that the 14 rounds was automatic loaded . this made it possible to shoot a full series of 14 shots and the vehicle could move before 1rst round landed 21km down the road.
It was uses as a divisional attachment company.
