Swedish tank is "Stridsvagn 103 MBT" by Bofors commonly called an
S-Tank.
105mm main gun, auto loader, hydropnuematic suspension (driver is also
gunner, as it uses the suspension to aim its fixed gun) recessed dozer
blade and lyran rockets.
Height	2.43M  ; length 7.04M	 width 3.63Meter
   per Jane's Tank recognition guide.

This is the tank with the "really sloped" front glacis plate!!!
