Strv 122A/122B
(Swedish LEOPARD 2)

Strv 122A/122B (Swedish LEOPARD 2) Strv 122A/122B (Swedish LEOPARD 2)
Die Bezeichnung Strv 122 resultiert aus dem Schwedischen System für
Strv als Stridsvagn [Kampfpanzer] und 122 als das zweite Modell mit
12 cm Kanone.
Als 1997 der Strv 122 an die Schwedische Armee ausgeliefert wurde,
verfügte diese als erste über einen LEOPARD 2 mit einem integrierten
Führungssystem, das dem Kommandanten auf einer digitale Karte
auch taktische Informationen anzeigt. Grundsätzlich ähnelt der Strv
122 dem LEOPARD 2A5 der Bundeswehr, unterscheidet sich aber
durch weiterführende Maßnahmen wie dem zusätzlichem Bomblet-
Dachschutz, Fahrgestell-Bugschutz sowie weiteren kleineren Unter -
schieden. Mit 120 beschafften Einheiten war Schweden nach
Deutschland, den Niederlanden und der Schweiz der vierte Leopard 2-
Nutzertaat, für den eine eigene Produktion gestartet wurde.
Interessanterweise löste der Strv 122 nicht den ältesten im Dienst
befindlichen Kampfpanzer, den Centurion [Strv 101/102] ab, sondern
den jüngeren Strv 103, auch bekannt als ‚S-Tank’, eine Schwedische
Eigenentwicklung. Ursprünglich sollte wieder eine Schwedische Eigen -
entwicklung folgen, doch aufgrund der geringen Stückzahlen waren
die Gesamtkosten zu hoch, so dass eine Vergleichserprobung zwischen
Leclerc (Frankreich), M1A1 Abrams (USA) und LEOPARD 2 erfolgte,
woraus letzterer als Sieger hervorging. Auch wenn die anderen
Fahrzeuge in Einzelaspekten durchaus interessante Lösungen hatten,
konnten sie in Gänze nicht überzeugen. Bestätigt wurde dies, als
Spanien und Griechenland sich für LEOPARD 2 Versionen entschieden,
die auf dem Strv 122 basieren. Auch Dänemarks LEOPARD 2 hat neben
den typischen „A5-Merkmalen“ unter anderem den Bugschutz vom
Strv 122 übernommen. Analog zum Deutschen LEOPARD 2A6M
wurde eine geringe Anzahl von Strv 122 mit verbessertem Minen -
schutz ausgestattet und als Strv 122B bezeichnet. Die Ursprungs -
version wird seitdem als Strv 122A geführt.
Technische Daten:
Besatzung: 4 Mann
Bewaffnung: 120 mm Glattrohr-Kanone, 2x 7,62mm MG3/A1
Motor: MTU 1.100 kW (1.500 PS)
Gewicht: 62,5 Tonnen
Max. Geschwindigkeit: 68 km/h
The designation Strv 122 comes from the Swedish system in which Strv
stands for “stridsvagn” (battle tank) and 122 for the second model
with a 122 mm cannon.
In 1997 when the Strv 122 was delivered to the Swedish army, it was
the first LEOPARD 2 with an integral control system which showed the
commander tactical data on a digital map. The Strv 122 is basically simi-
lar to the German LEOPARD 2A5, the differences being advanced fea-
tures such as anti-bomblet roof protection, additional armour on the
frontal arc and other minor differences. Having purchased 120 units,
Sweden was the fourth state after Germany, the Netherlands and
Switzerland to use the Leopard 2 and for whom special production
was started. Interestingly the Strv 122 did not replace the oldest batt-
le tank in service, the Centurion (Strv 101/102), but the more recent
Strv 103, also known as the “S tank”, a Swedish development.
Originally another Swedish development was to follow, but due to the
low quantities total costs were too high, so that a comparative trial
between Leclerc (France), M1A1 Abrams (USA) and the LEOPARD 2
took place, the latter being the winner. Even though the other vehicles
offered very interesting solutions to individual aspects, they were not
the overall winners. This was confirmed when Spain and Greece also
decided in favour of LEOPARD 2 versions which were based on the
Strv 122. Denmark’s LEOPARD 2 also had the same frontal arc protec-
tion as the Strv 122 in addition to the typical “A5” features. Like the
German LEOPARD 2A6M a small number of Strv 122s were equipped
with improved anti-mine protection and designated Strv 122B. Since
then the original version has been known as the Strv 122A.
