Sweden's Stridsvagn 122 tank delivered to Ukraine with trained crews.

The Swedish Ministry of Defense announced that 10 Stridsvagn 122 main battle tanks have been delivered to Ukraine.
The Stridsvagn-122 is Sweden's adaptation of the German Leopard 2 tank, featuring a four-person crew and better armament. The Swedish Stridsvagn 122 is only slightly heavier (62.5 tons vs 62.3 tons) and slightly slower (68 kilometers per hour vs 72 kilometer per hour).
The Stridsvagn 122 was designed to fight in Swedish conditions including heavily forested areas as well as urban terrain.
It has reinforced armour to protect against man-portable anti-tank weapons and an advanced CBRN defence system for protection against chemical, biological, and radioactive weapons.
It can wade through water up to 1.4 meters deep.

The Stridsvagn 122 has the ability to discover, identify, and lock-on a target with the assistance of a laser rangefinder, thermographic camera and a speed/distance/accuracy calculator for maximum accuracy.
It can lock-on to numerous targets simultaneously, enabling the tank to fight several enemy vehicles without having to manually re-aim the gun after every shot.

Swedish tanks have a slightly different fire control system that allows for better accuracy while the tank is moving. In addition, the Stridsvagn 122 has the French GALIX smoke dispensers.
The Stridsvagn 122 has a 120-millimeter Rheinmetal smoothbore gun with 42 rounds, two 7.62-millimeter machine guns with 4,750 rounds and two smoke grenade launchers. It is able to engage targets up to 4 kilometers away with its armor-piercing discarding sabot projectiles and high-explosive shells.
The Stridsvagn 122 are equipped with 1,500 horsepower engines.
The maximum range is 550 kilometers.
Speed: 68 kilometers per hour
The unit price is US$5.74 million
