Tank 122 is the Swedish version of the German Leopard 2, the cannon fires armored projectiles and explosive grenades capable of fighting targets at a distance of up to 4,000 meters.

"It's designed to fight in one system of other systems. The absolute biggest advantage in my opinion is the combination of good effect, good accessibility and good protection. The three things together are what make Tank 122 so good," von Fieandt said.
