Combined with a state-of-the-art auto-loader, this system is the latest evolvement in Rheinmetall’s, MBT. So, it took the War in Ukraine to wake up the Swedish army.On July 31, 2020, Rheinmetall broadcasted a video showing a new main battle tank, fitted with new armor and a 130mm gun. Rheinmetall’s 130 mm smoothbore technology for main battle tanks (MBT) embodies a significant lethality leap in times of more sophisticated protection systems and increasing threats. That’s an astonishing lack of training and shows that the Swedes have been neglecting realistic military maneuvers for new troops. Get Those New Soldiers Trained on the Tankįor example, the Swedish Gotland Regiment had not trained in a live-fire exercise with the Stridsvagn 122 since 2000. They started removing some of the rust from their armored maneuver battalions that hadn’t trained on the Stridsvagn 122 in years. The Swedes began planning their own combat training activities late last year as the Russians increased their military build-up on the Ukrainian border. Ukraine Jumpstarts Swedish Stridsvagn 122 Readiness New Swedish conscripted troops are being trained on the Stridsvagn 122, which shows the Swedes are executing home defense in a more earnest fashion.

But they do have a main battle tank, based on a German Leopard import, that serves the Swedish army well.
