Stormartillerivagn m/43 (Sav m/43) (English: Assault artillery carriage model 1943) was an assault gun based on Stridsvagn m/41 SII chassis, a Swedish development of a license-built Czechoslovak TNH light tank. The Sav m/43 was first armed with a 75mm gun; later they were rearmed with a 105mm m/44 gun.[1]
Service
The Sav m/43 was used by the artillery in A9 Regiment at Kristinehamn. After World War 2, the 18 units were upgraded with Bofors 105mm guns, and an order for 18 more were placed at the end of 1945, which was completed near the end of 1947. In 1951, they were transferred to the armored forces. With one Sav m/43 used in training, they were allocated to infantry assault gun companies with six assault guns in each brigade. They were phased out of active service in 1973.[1][2]
