About this vehicle

One of the projects of the Bofors company in the late 1970s. The vehicle was supposed to incorporate several bold technical solutions. For example, they planned to mount a complex, separate loading system: Projectiles were placed under the turret on the right side, and charges were fed from the rear by a belt system. The vehicle was supposed to feature impressive protection for its time, but no real metal prototype was ever built.
