Infanterikanonvagn 91 Tank Destroyer

The Ikv 91 tank destroyer was developed by Hägglund and Sôner (now Hägglunds Vehicle) to meet the requirements of Swedish Army. First prototypes completed in 1969 with production running from 1975 to 1978.

The 90mm low pressure gun has elevation of +15 degrees and depression of -10, with 360 degree turret traverse. Two Lyran flare launchers mounted on turret roof. The effect against modern MBTs in a frontal attitude is insufficient. Normal range for firing can be extended to 2,000m. Rate of fire is 8 rounds/min. The vehicle is equipped with a laser rangefinder and computerised fire-control system for increased first-round hit probability.

The vehicle weighs 16.3 tonnes and has a crew of four. Maximum road speed is 65 kph. On-road range are 500 km.

The Ikv 91 has an exceptionally good off-road capacity. The vehicle can float, and some vehicles are equiped with propellers for increased water speed.

The Ikv 91 is currently being phase-out.
