A brief history of the Strv-104 tank

The Strv-104 is a Swedish modernization of the legendary British Centurion Mk 10 tank. After World War II, Sweden sought for years to acquire Western tank designs, eventually choosing the Centurion. Following numerous upgrades, the Strv-104 became the pinnacle version, used from the 1980s until the early 21st century, when it was replaced by the Swedish Leopard 2, known as Strv 122. These tanks formed the backbone of Swedish armored power throughout the Cold War period. Even after 2000, individual units were used for training purposes.
