Bantam (missile) The Bantam (Bofors ANti-TAnk Missile) or Robot 53 (Rb 53) was a Swedish wire-guided, manual command to line of sight, anti-tank missile developed in the late 1950s by Bofors. It served with the Swedish and Swiss armies from 1963 and 1967 respectively. It can either be deployed by a single man carrying a missile and control equipment or from a vehicle. It has been fitted to the Volvo L3314 and the Scottish Aviation Bulldog. In the Swiss Army, it was mounted on Steyr-Daimler-Puch Haflinger light wheeled vehicles.

Wire-guided missile A wire-guided missile is a missile that is guided by signals sent to it via thin wires connected between the missile and its guidance mechanism, which is located somewhere near the launch site. As the missile flies, the wires are reeled out behind it (command guidance). This guidance system is most commonly used in anti-tank missiles, where its ability to be used in areas of limited line-of-sight make it useful, while the range limit imposed by the length of the wire is not a serious concern.

T-42 super-heavy tank The T-42 (also known as the TG-V) was a Soviet super-heavy tank project of the interwar period. It was developed in 1932 by the OKB-5 design bureau at Bolshevik Plant no. 232 under the direction of a German engineer-designer Edward Grotte. Development did not advance past the stage of construction drawings and scale models. The design was passed over in favour of the T-35 project which was already at the prototype stage.

Radar, Anti-Aircraft No. 3 Mk. 7 Radar, Anti-Aircraft No. 3 Mk. 7, also widely referred to by its development rainbow code Blue Cedar, was a mobile anti-aircraft gun control radar designed by British Thomson-Houston (BTH) in the mid 1940s. It was significantly smaller and more portable than the World War II-era SCR-584 and GL Mk. III radars it replaced. It was used extensively by the British Army and was exported to countries such as Holland and Sweden. In British service it was used with the 5.25 inch and QF 3.7 inch AA guns, as well as the Brakemine missile. The unit was housed in an air conditioned trailer towed by an AEC Matador artillery tractor unit.

SFRO SFRO (Sveriges fordonsbyggares riksorganisation) is a Swedish national organisation founded in 1982 with the goal of making it possible to register amateur built vehicles. The goal of SFRO is to help builders to build their own vehicles and register them for road use. The types of vehicles SFRO handles are rebuilt vehicles (like hot rods, lowriders and so on) and amateur built vehicles (specials or kit cars). SFRO can also inspect imported vehicles that it otherwise wouldn't be possible to import. They are then regarded as rebuilt vehicles.

Emil (tank) Emil, also known as the Kranvagn, KRV or Emil Olsson was a tank developed secretly in Sweden during the early 1950s, "Kranvagn", meaning mobile crane was a cover-name. The intention was to replace the Swedish Army's disparate tank fleet with a tank that could counter the Soviet IS series heavy tanks and be upgraded continuously. The initial design, in 1951, proposed mounting a 10.5 cm autoloader in an oscillating turret. Due to its size, weight and power to weight it was considered by many to be more of a medium tank than a heavy tank.

Tank A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat, with heavy firepower, strong armour, and tracks providing good battlefield maneuverability. The first tanks were designed to overcome the deadlock of trench warfare; now they are a mainstay of modern ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat.

TR-85 The TR-85 is a main battle tank designed for the armed forces of Romania. Based on the TR-77-580 (Romanian-built version of the Soviet T-55 tank), the TR-85 tank was developed from 1978 to 1985 and produced from 1986 until 1990. A modernization program was initiated in March 1994 in order to upgrade the TR-85 tanks to NATO standards. The result was the TR-85M1 main battle tank, currently the most modern tank in service with the Romanian Land Forces. Although a further development of the T-55, the TR-85M1 uses a T-block powerpack (similar to the one used in the Leopard 1) based on a V8 German 830 hp diesel engine, an improved turret, a locally-designed "Ciclop" fire control system (with cross-wind sensor, laser rangefinder and night vision), new 100 mm BM-412 Sg APFSDS-T projectiles and a completely redesigned suspension with 6 road wheels on each side, protected by metal side skirts. Combat weight is 50 tons.

Vorne The Vorne, or VK 4502 (P) Ausf. c, is a tank designed by Ferdinand Porsche to compete with Henschel's design, alongside the Ausf. B version of the tank. The Henschel design was selected for production, but never reached the prototype phase. Porsche was confident that his design would win a contract for production and so he ordered Krupp to produce 50 turrets for the tank. These turrets were used on the first Tiger II's, which were supposed to be armed with a KwK L/71 gun, like its Henschel Counterpart.

Rapier (missile) Rapier is a British surface-to-air missile developed for the British Army to replace their towed Bofors 40/L70 anti-aircraft guns. It was unusual in that it used a manual optical guidance system, sending guidance commands to the missile in flight over a radio link. This provided it with very high accuracy, so only a small warhead was carried.
