The Stridsvagn m/31 was designed and build by Swedish Landsverk in 1932. A total of only three were made, which served with the Swedish army from 1935 to 1940 as trial vehicles.
By the time of its design, it was a very advanced tank, capable of going up against any other medium tank. It suffered from poor reliability, however, so when World War 2 broke out, the three tanks were dug in as static bunkers.
