The Stridsvagn 131 is a main battle tank developed by Landrut AB, Stahre Landsystem AB, Kolb-Blomqvist AB for the Acrean Armed Forces. A joint venture between Landrut, Stahre, and Kolb-Blomqvist, the Strv 131 program was initated from scratch rather than as a development of any other existing Acrean armoured vehicles. However, it still shares many critical parts and systems with existing vehicles. It is the first main battle tank used by Acrea to enter service with a 130mm main gun.
