We have started the production of the new King Leopard. This tank is basically the Strv-122 with a new Rhienmettal 140mm high velocity smoothe boore. I am willing to sell production rights, and vehicles.

The peoples republic of marxist islands wishes an exchange of military technologys- due to the relativley small land mass of the UMI [united marxist isles] our land vehicles are somewhat inadequate. we wish a trade in specifications for your new tank and our internationally redeemed Harpy hovergunships. i await your reply...

Holy canoli. A 140mm cannon? How fast does it go, 10mph? Not to mention that would have a HUGE profile. Don't get into a war with guerilla fighters...they'll have a parade!

most tanks now carry a 120mm. 20 more mm isnt that much bigger, less than an inch. This tank will go about 40 mph.

152mm. More likely 135mm.

Strv-122 with a 140mm gun will basically look like an STRV-2000 (or, GD, just ust strv-2000. 140mm gun, 40mm coaxial autocannon, cancelled due to high cost)
