Pansarvärnsrobotbandvagn 551

The Pansarvärnsrobotbandvagn 551 (pvrbv 551) was a tank destroyer developed by Landsverk and Hägglund & Söner.

The vehicle also had a new engine and gear similar to Bandvagn 206 installed.

The gunner and loader are located in the middle of the hull under two large roof hatches.

When the pvrbv 551 goes into firing position, the hatches are opened and the TOW launcher is raised above the vehicle roof.

[1] The work was carried out between 1984 and 1986 at Hägglund & Söner in Örnsköldsvik and 57 pvrbv 551 were produced and served in the Swedish Army from 1984 to 2000.
