Pansarbandvagn 301 - fotod ja video

Pansarbandvagn 301 (pbv 301), was a Swedish armoured personnel carrier used by the Swedish Army. It was a typical “battle taxi”, armed with a 20 mm Bofors gun from the scrapped J21-fighters and with room for transporting 8 fully armed soldiers. The pbv 301 was an interim solution, built on the chassis from the obsolete Stridsvagn m/41, introduced in 1961 and removed from service in the late 1960s and early 1970s when the replacement pbv 302 came into use. The pbv 301 replaced the open-topped KP-bil armoured car as the armoured troop transport in the Swedish Army.

The Pansarbandvagn 301 (pbv 301) was a Swedish armoured personnel carrier (APC) that entered service in 1961. It was based on the chassis of the Stridsvagn m/41, a light tank of Czechoslovak origin that was obsolete by the 1950s. The pbv 301 was designed to transport a squad of eight panzergrenadiers, or mechanized infantry, and provide fire support with a 20 mm Bofors cannon mounted on a remote-controlled cupola. The vehicle had a welded steel hull with a sloped front and sides, and a rear door for access.
Mootor asus eesmises vasakus nurgas ning juht ja ülem istusid paremal küljel. PBV 301-l oli lehtvedru vedrustus ja see võis teedel saavutada maksimaalse kiiruse 45 km/h. PBV 301 oli esimene jälgitav APC Rootsi teenistuses ja esimene jalaväe lahingumasin (IFV) maailmas, millel oli täielikult suletud väeosa. See oli mõeldud ajutise lahendusena, kuni töötati välja arenenum mudel, pbv 302. PBV 301 kasutas Rootsi armee kuni 1970. aastate alguseni, mil see asendati pbv 302-ga. Toodeti ka mõned pbv 301 variandid, näiteks juhtimissõiduk slpbv 3011 ja suurtükiväe vaatlussõiduk epbv 3012.
