The Stridsvagn 131 is a main battle tank produced by Landrut AB for the Acrean Armed Forces. A joint design venture between Landrut, Stahre, and Kolb-Blomqvist, the Strv 131 program was designed from the drawing board 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.
