Landsverk L-10 ( Swedish Army designation: stridsvagn m/31 , abbr. strv m/31 , "tank model-1931") was a Swedish late interwar era medium tank constructed by AB Landsverk for the Swedish Army between 1930 and 1933.

A mild steel prototype with a wooden mockup turret was ordered in 1931 (designated stridsvagn fm/31 : fm = försöksmodell , "trial model") along

Landsverks designs came out on top and Landsverk was selected as contractor in January 1931. After further in-depth evaluation of Landsverks designs, KAF ordered three L-10 test vehicles from Landsverk in October 1931, along one Landsverk L-30 trial vehicle (essentially an L-10 with deployable wheels). The three L-10 vehicles were built in 1933 and delivered to

Despite being highly advanced for their time, they often broke down when not handled properly, and lessons learned from their trials were incorporated into the much improved Landsverk L-60 ( strv m/38 ). When World War II broke out, they were dug in as static bunkers due to a lack of spare parts, as many key parts were produced abroad. The L-10 had

126-540: The idea being that wheeled and tracked propulsion could be interchanged depending on the travel surface: road/terrain. The wheel-track suspension design was quite ingenious, and wheels/tracks could be interchanged in less than a minute, even while on the move. Beyond the wheel-track suspension, it was almost identical to the Landsverk L-10 design, featuring an advanced all-welded construction, using periscopes for visibility rather than view slits. The Landsverk L-10 design

#1732863169340168-518: Was a Swedish late interwar era medium tank constructed by AB Landsverk for the Swedish Army between 1930 and 1935, featuring welded armour joints and a "wheel-cum-track system", allowing for interchangeable wheeled and tracked propulsion. The L-30 was based on the Landsverk L-10 , a conventional fully tracked tank, but added to the design by featuring deployable wheel propulsion in addition to its tracks (a so-called "wheel-cum-track system"),
182-507: Was intended simply for mobility trials and was produced using mild steel from Landsverk, lacking the frontal hull machine gun port of the L-10 and featuring a wooden mockup turret. Production was delayed and the prototype was produced and delivered to the Swedish Army in 1935. Despite being highly advanced for its time, the design was seen as too expensive and specialized, thus in the end it was cancelled in favour of conventional tanks. The sole L-30 (strv fm/31) prototype has been preserved. It
196-448: Was the first tank produced to feature an all-welded construction. While the L-30 prototype was unarmed, the production design featured a turret mounted Bofors 37 mm anti-tank gun L/45 ( 37 mm kanon fm/32 ) and two Browning M1917 machine guns ( 6.5 mm kulspruta m/14-29 ), one coaxial mounted in the turret and one flexible mounted in the hull, and was equipped with 8–14 mm (0.31 in – 0.55 in) of armour.
