Historical description and use

The Stridsvagn m/40 K was a development of the m/38 tank, representing a more modern and better armored light vehicle for the Swedish national defense. Produced in 1943–1944 by the Swedish company Landsverk, the m/40 K featured a higher turret and improved drive compared to earlier variants.
