Swedish tank development post-1945 was not that great. There were numerous false starts and failed projects during the 1950s, with the end result being that a lot of equipment stayed in frontline service beyond when it probably should have. It also resulted in the Swedish Army having to buy equipment from other countries, even though Sweden has a quite capable domestic armaments industry.
This is going to be a fairly narrowly focused timeline discussing how things could have gone a bit better (in my opinion). Most of my information will be sourced from the excellent Swedish Tank Archives: http://tanks.mod16.org/ , although I'll pull bits and pieces from elsewhere as needed.
