Landsverk L-10 (Swedish Army designation: stridsvagn m/31, abbr. strv m/31, "tank model-1931") was a Swedish late interwar era medium tank constructed by AB Landsverk for the Swedish Army between 1930[4] and 1933.[2]
The tank had an advanced design for its time, being the first tank produced to feature an all-welded construction and using periscopes for visibility rather than view slits. It was armed with a turret mounted Bofors 37 mm anti-tank gun L/45 (37 mm kanon fm/32)[3] and two Browning M1917 machine guns (6.5 mm kulspruta m/14-29), one coaxial mounted in the turret and one flexible mounted in the hull, and was equipped with 8–24 mm (0.31 in – 0.94 in) of armour.[4][5]
