True, though I believe the T-64 preceded even the S-tank, and I believe the T-64 was the first production tank to have an autoloader. As an aside for those you aren't familiar with the Strv 103 (also called the S tank) it's a particularly interesting tank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103 . It is the only main battle tank to have no turret!
- greedo 7y agoAh, I had forgotten about the T-64 since it was never exported. Looks like it entered service with the GSFG in 1976 after development started in 1967. So the Strv 103 preceded it by just a few years. For the Soviets, the T-64 was quite an expensive tank.
