Swedish Main Battle Tank Strv 122 Deployed in Ukraine. Equal to the Abrams or Challenger 2?

- The Swedish Strv 122 is considered to be a competitor to the best Main Battle Tanks like Abrams or Challenger 2. Just a few were delivered to Ukraine as a part of the Swedish military aid package and we are lucky enough to get to talk to the crew in their rare free time.

Love to see it.
Swedish tanks doing what they were born to do, keeping safe the yellow and blue.
But sadly we sent too few of the mighty 122
🇺🇦🇸🇪🌻
@@Leadfoot_P71Like everybody delivers too few considering their capabilities. We Germans sent too few leopards either. The Us could start to end this war right now with their massive stock piles of Abram’s, f16 and endless munition including 150mm.

@@Leadfoot_P71 I disagree that we sent too few. The west should've sent these tanks, as well as fighter jets, during fall of 2022, so that the spring offensive of 2023 could've started the second nature permitted, instead of in the summer. The Russians were given too much time to prepare. That's the biggest mistake.
What a nice guy in the end ❤
The swedish and Ukrainian companianship against the moscovites has a long history. When the Swedish army began to approach Ukraine under the nordic war the kosackleader and hetman Ivan Mazepa decided to seek it out, and on 28 October 1708 he made an alliance with Charles XII the king of Sweden to fight the russians. Nothing is new under the sun...
Charles XII of Sweden was also named the protector of Ukraine
Do you remember who won the nordic war? As a result of which Russia declared itself an empire.
@@AlexJeroy Do you remember what they ate in Leningrad 1941-1944? Have you asked your Grandpa how his sister tasted?
@@dsludge8217 My grandfather was never in Leningrad and he never had a sister. But when the Russians enter Stockholm, you will remember about Konigsberg and Berlin. And I think you'll have to get to know the taste of all your brothers and sisters.
@@AlexJeroyI will tell you something. The Finns and the Swedes, that I have been in combat with side by side with them plus their equipment , would do minced meat of a Rus attack against either. Im so sure, I could bet my life.
Sweden has stepped up and come to the much-needed aid of Ukraine..Thank You, Sweden you have our respect...from 🇨🇦
You're welcome. I'm happy we were so quick in doing the right thing here. The Russians NEED to learn that they can't just run their tanks into any neighbor capital when they like - and this time, they actually couldnt, due to preparations, open info, and everybody deciding to step in. Good.
However, we must not forget to win the world peace, too. We can't afford to leave people behind and think it's just their problem anymore. There needs to be guarantees and trust for all the bloody trauma from the thousands of years of agriculture, and the slavery and warfare that came with it. So - we need to end poverty and the view that people need to be forced to work to cooperate and do their part. It's not true, as long as we don't have to work so bloody much and don't have the time to really get to KNOW people. As it was in the beginning, when we were few and all of us had to cooperate, and with other groups, for daily sustenance.
It worked without real wars for tens of thousands of years, so we have it in us - we are cheifly the cooperating ape, not the competitive - even if competition can be used as long as it is kept friendly - so the losers too gain from the game.
So... Now, lets solve this together from now on! :D
That was cool him sending a message back to his trainers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to cry when I think about the almost 300 stridsvagn 103, the turretless S-tank. It was like an advanced selfpropelled armoured artillery developed in the 1960's. Almost everyone are scrapped. Seeing Russia bringing even older tanks than the S-tank to the battlefield makes me wonder how well the S-tank would have performed...
With modernization and in defence possibly but the 10,5cm gun would be the weakness
@@DeltaStar777 The job of a tank is to support infantry first, I can tell you that if you lob a 10,5cm High Explosive round anywhere near infantry they take a permanent nap
@@teaser6089 The job of the tank depends of the task it has been given. In our Army it is to take or defend terrain or to defeat the enemy in a certain area always together with infantry.
As a main battle tank it wouldn’t have done any good. As support for infantry and in numbers against lighter armored or against transports, it would definitely have outperformed what Russia is fielding.
@@RandomName100 It was never intended for infantry support, if anything it would have been a great tank destroyer when in a good defensive position
The Ukrainian people impress me every single time

..The Swedish also make the Strongest ( toughest )tow chains in the 🌍,..if they have incorporated this technology into their tank tracks and armour…it would be 1 tough tank ….💙💛💙

Impressive that the tank has enough horse power to move itself and the massive balls made out of Ukrainium of the crew.
Hi folk´s !
Stridsvagn 122 (Leopard 2A5 +) is from Sweden, donated to Ukraine. It has other electronics inside and 3 tonnes of extra protection (during the Swedish adaptation the tank's protection level has been further improved against the German basic structure).
Skål Tom 😄☕
*improved Armor over Leopard 2A5.
From 2A7 onwards the armor protection on the "german" version was drasticly improved again.
And the relevant areas where the Strv122 is better armored are the upper glacis of the hull and the turret roof.
the different electronics are swedish radios and command and control network systems.

Slava Ukraini !! You amazing people - fighting this unprovoked war for your freedom, and ultimately for the freedom of the rest of Europe....And there's nothing the Swedes don't do well, so it's not surprising the Strv 122 is such a beast on the battlefield, and maximising it's capabilities are the brave, intelligent and driven Ukrainian soldiers who man it. Has George and Franz been shown this btw ?? Hope they have seen it. Thankyou, Alan, ex- Cavalry Officer, Australia ♥
I wouldn't say that Ukraine is a free country
Good luck boys
The video has Erik Fredriksson channel at the top who and or where can I find it???
Great report. Video focused on soldiers and their equipment are terrific.
If now tanks 122 is better protection than the original Leopard 2A5,
so why not ask Sweden if they cannot be able to up and re -armament the rest of Leopard 2A5 in Ukraine, by sending staff and materials to equip them.
Cost
The problem is both time and materials.
STRV 122 was built in Sweden by Swedish materials which include probably the highest Quality steel and iron in the known world.
they differ alot more than the looks might tell you.
Then there is the issue of Time as Swedish manufacturer are much smaller and not able to remodel and produce tanks at a speed fit for Ukraines needs atm.
But Barracuda armour built for STRV 122 will mostly fit Regular German made Leo2's
As Barracuda has been proven to be highly effective EU could buy kits and send them to Ukraine for other vehicles but it will again take some time.
A decrease by 70% in thermal and night vision is extreamly good and that is what Ukraine themself claim from experience from the front.
And as it is nonleathal Countries wo dont want to pay for lethal aid can ship in on it.
@@danielkarlsson9326as far as I know 91 of them were built in Sweden and 29 in Germany. I have no idea which of them Ukraine got.
There is no other L2A5 in ukraine. You might have confused them with L1A5 that there are over 150 of. Most of the leopard 2 in ukraine is A4 that is consideraly older. Its something like 2 decade older than the A5. There is also a bunch of A6 in ukraine. The A6 alreddy have a few of the upgrades the strv122 have.
Worth saying is that the strv 122 was fully made in sweden from german component.
That is the tank chassie and Amrmour was made from scratch in sweden specifically to make the strv 122. While it might sound like sweden bright A5 and remodeled, that was really not what happened.
Strv122 is difrent down to the frame as the A5, while still very simular.
The Swedes took the 2A5 and gave it a similar armour and electronics as the mid-late German 2A6’s so it costs more than the 2A5, but slightly less than the 2A6. As much as we’d want Ukrainians to have better tanks, it’s more cost efficient to keep getting German 2A5’s.
As far as the tank vs UAV battle goes maybe the tanks can carry a confetti mortar that fires Mylar confetti cloud into the air that would fowl the blades of an incoming quad copter.
Or maybe one can find a biodegradable substitute to keep the mess that this would leave down a bit.
gravel would probably do the job. They only have plastic rotors so i dont think it takes much to knock one out
Jag hoppas ni får fler stridsvagnar och mer ammunition så snart som möjligt! 🇸🇪🇺🇦✊
Sweden had its own main tank program before going for leopard 2, thats why they mostlikely knew it needed more armout. 3,5 tons has been added compare to other 2A4 models
compared to the 2A4? that would be more like 7-8 tons if we speak about the Strv122s. i think you mean the 2A5
@@BKBCrAnK Compaired to the Vanila Leo 2.. evey other upgrade was about adding weight.. It is what it is.
Now the New Leo II that several countries among them Norway has on order now, has better transmission, engine power pack, and suspension. All due to added weight i might add.
As I have worked with the development of these tanks, I'm proud that my work is helping the Ukranine people.
Half Swedish. Can remember Dad giving me a little sip of aquivit. It evaporated thru the top of my head. Nearly fainted.😊
I'm sure these lads don't have that problem.
sweden makes military vehicles from normal everyday vehicles such as the archer but also make one of the best tanks into an even better version plus the gripen instead of making a whole new plane they upgrade it and all of this saves them so much money for other stuff needed. very smart
Ye thats kind of our thing when we choice gear, our equipment is suppose to have high quality, easy to repair/maintain, and at a rather low cost.
The Ukrainian Spirit - is INDOMITABLE.
Slava Ukraini.
Heroyam Slava!
Hell yeah, George and Franz
Thanks💖🙏🇸🇪🇺🇦🏁
its a modified leopard 2a5 , so yes its equal to abrams and charllenger 2
Let's see how many days before the 1st one is on the news for being destroyed.
There is already a confirmed destroyed i believe, and there is 5-6 of them wich are damaged but not destroyed.
Stridsvagn 122, the protector of Ukraine!
7 out of the 10 have been disabled already.
@@RaptorsFan2019So what rusbot? Its not a magic tank and they can still kill russians before being disabled (Unlike russian tanks setting new records every day in turret flytime)
@tcntad87 I hope you know that studying tanks is literally my hobby, so me mentioning the fact that 70% of strvs being inoperable doesn't make me a russian bot. If you'd like, I could link a neutral source (that leans slightly more on ukraines side) that posts PHOTO EVIDENCE of each and every strv, leopard, bradley, or abrams that has been destroyed or disabled.
I just realized, Trophy Systems are now practical due to drones being not as fast as a ATGM.
If WarThunder is to be chosen as a potential rough simulation, then Strv122 is way better because of its armor and ammo.
Warthunder is as close to a serious simulation as a BigMac is to a world class dish.
@@KBKriechbaum Too bad BigMacs are actually good where I live :). If you look at success, then yes, it is a world class dish. And WT is a good simulator for ground vehicles. It's not intended to be one, but it does the job, as you can get a general idea of what a tank's pros and cons are.
Sweden is a small country, Britain should give proportionately more.
Stridsvagn 122 is the best tank in the world according to Discovery channel. Watch it on youtube. They bought the leopard 2 and made it better wich also Germany Lernt from.
Cant be the best if its a better 2A5 while germany no uses 2A7V and 2A8 wich all have better electronics and optics plus the better gun
@@BKBCrAnKby the time that documentary was made the 2a7 didnt even exist at most it was only a prototype
@@BKBCrAnK no i would say that the A7 and future A8 is now close to the Strv 122 when it comes to electronics and ballistic protection, these were the main differences between the german build Leopard 2 and the strv 122. Also nearly 50% of the swedish current 122 will be upgraded to the 123A variant, inluding replacing the L44 with the L55 canon, the main difference between A5 and the A6.
Gracias George and Franz
In Sweden its known as the battletank 122... However its a Leopard mark 2 with some configurations.
They need active protection systems (APS) like Trophy or AMAP-ADS for every MBT and IFV. I believe these APS could be adapted against FPV drones and would significantly reduce vehicles losses by ATGMs, drones and RPGs. These, besides landmines, have been the main killers of vehicles.
The initial losses of western vehicles in the offensive to KA-52s would have also been significantly reduced if they had deployed with APS.
We in the west have solutions, and these solutions need to get to the front line NOW.
The Strv122 has a 360° Armor protection.
The Deck protection of the IFV Puma even using another technology reaches a simuliar protection Level Like the Strv122.
So there is somekind of improved protection of the Deck.
The Main weapon the Rh120 L/44 for Sure can reach more hours in Service than a Rh120 L/55 and Rh120 L/55 A1.
no the L/44 has not a longer life than the L/55a1.
They are firing DM53/63 APFSDS, wich are degrading the L/44 stronger than the L/55a1.
@@zhufortheimpaler4041 Hope that non of the guns degrades...
There is wear on the surface of the smooth bore guns.
Also the Rifled guns of the Challenger 2 and the Leopard 1 have wear on e.g. the grooves.
Also important build time of a Rh120 L/55 A1 vs. Operation Time.
If build time is longer than the Degradation time - the time you should be able to provide - many Tanks wait for new guns.
No gun no fun...
Its got a turret .
All joking aside it looks pretty cool .
Abrams Ukraine gets are export models. Non export models have significant upgrades and advantages.
BTW, there's a rebuild factory solely for completely breaking down Abrams, upgrading older versions, rebuilding or replacing anything damaged. They're broken down to the last bolt.
non nato tank exports of abrams is just about the base tank parts. the optics and night vision is most likely the only best thing allowed on export abrams.

Impressive machine. So glad Ukrainian's have it in their arsenal of weapons. 🦾
How heavy?
Just one problem - drones
I would say no, but this war would be very different without mines, from the footage available the drones doesn't stop this tank, worst hit(on video) was an ATGM up in the northeast of Luhansk, near the front, but all 4 crew members got out.
@@Alex-oc2viWtf are you talking about ? One drone hit at the engine deck or turret and this tank is out of action .
@@5co756 I'm talking about the numerous drones that have been hitting these tanks with little effect. Mines on the other hand... once your track is blown off you will be a sitting duck.
The problem with this tank is it doesn’t have drone protection
Equal? Its even more powerful than the other tanks
Well.. it have more amor and the electronics is a bit more modern. Specially top armour.
Sweden thought that top attack artilery would be a problem when adding armour. So there was a lot of top armourn added.
This proved to be very useful against drones
We have the strongest respect for Ukraine. The resilience and strenght is something the whole world should see, understand and support with all it's might.
Russians may fool the minds of others but blue-yellow hearts remain true to their colours and true to their free-spirited soul. 💙💛 Slava Ukraini ✊️
why they are using it at 400m? thats basically infantry anti tank weaponary range. Why not use it at much longer distances and take advantage of one of the best Fire control systems on the planet. Thats the advantage of western tanks, phenomenal optics
They probably do both, depending on terrain and landscape, but lets say it's the night shift, clearing treelines with HE rounds, I would guess it would be "pretty" safe though, or is there thermal scopes on RU equivalant to e.g AT4?
Probably because they can. Ukraine has more Leopard 1s than Leopard 2s/Strv 122s and for long distance shelling they're fairly equal. The Leo 1's gun is smaller but also more precise and its weaker armor and single sight shared by the gunner and commander don't really matter much when the enemy is a kilometer or two away.
So it makes perfect sense to let the Leo 1 handle the long distance shelling and reserve the bigger one for the occasions when they need to get up closer to the enemy.
---
This shows up in the losses btw. Here are the numbers from Oryx for the different Leopard variants as of 30th March:
Leopard 1A5: 1 damaged, 0 destroyed
Leopard 2A4: 9 damaged, 9 destroyed
Leopard 2A6: 6 damaged, 5 destroyed
Strv 122: 6 damaged, 1 destroyed
There is no info about how many of the damaged tanks have been recovered and repaired.
Now, the Leopard 1A5 has been been grossly underestimated by pretty much everybody but it's still a medium tank with limited armor protection, not a modern main battle tank. So the amazingly low loss rate can only be explained if it's mainly been given a role that keeps it away from direct fire from the enemy.
It is more a modified Leopard 2 A6 Tank with reinforced top armor. And as Leopard 2, it is even better than the Challenger or Abrams 😊
Than how comes there are like 40 dead leopard 2’s and 2 dead abrams!
Absolutely....great deployments
Strv 122 is strong in war thunder
What an incredible people.
Does this leopard hybrid have a ejecting turret like the Russian tanks
No, it has a sane placement of the ammo.
Equal to the leopard, cause it is a Swedish leopard....

Nope. The 2A5
Stridsvagn is closer to the Leopard. not Abrams/Challenger.
Good to see them in action well done Sweden 🇸🇪
well yes, the strv122 is a swedish made(hägglund and Bofors) variant of the Leopard 2A5, much closer to A6 or even better in some areas. So it is a Leopard.
It differs from the German Leo 2, in that the Swedish Strv 122 is more punctual, has better unemployment benefits and can only be operated while wearing a freshly ironed uniform... also has far superior internal shelving and can always be fully refunded, if returned in unbroken original packaging... slava IKEA! 💙💛 ☝😙

And both are receptive to receiving a lancet .
lol you Reddit dorks are funny as hell
@@Miami1991 Yes but the lancet did not even destroy the thing, only made a small burn mark on the turret.
Goooooo guys!
Its not the tank , its the strategy
well its both and a bit more. Its the tank, a well trained and capable crew, maintenance, and how you use the tank(strategy) and its crew. If any one of those fails, the tank is of no use.
Can it stop anti tank weapons
From the front. Very likely. From the side. Maybe.. From the back.. unlikely
depends on what you mean by that. It can take hits from many AT weapons and keep the crew alive. Depending on where an AT weapon hit the tank, it could either continue working, or be disabled, forcing the crew to evacute the tank. No tank, including the Challenger 2 or Abrams is indestructible. The Swedish variant is very well protected, the survivability of its crew is very high. But a direct hit on the rear from a heavy AT would most likely destroy the enginge, and that way render it immobile.
Equal to challenger 2 or Abrams? Weird question it's much better than both.
Swedish mobile barbecues to the rescue?
In poor taste? Get it?
