The STRV 121 is the same as the Leopard 2A4

The tanks where leased from Germany as a part of the STRV 122 deal.

The vehicles are used and therefor the status differs, some are in mint condition and some are not.

A total of 160 vehicles where leased.

The strv 121 is no longer used by the swedish army and the vehicles are put in storage.

Some of the vehicles will probably be modified into engineering vehicles of some sort.
