A total of 57 {{PAGENAME}} were still built and delivered between 1984 to 1986 when all the units had been delivered, they would be placed in Armoured and Mechanized brigades as support vehicles. {{PAGENAME}} started it service and would be in the Swedish Army till early 2000's where they then would finally be decommissioned, it had a limited service but it was praised to be an cheap and quick solution vehicle to fill a void where it was needed.
+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was a tank destroyer built by Hägglunds & Söner in Örnsköldsvik, based on the retired Ikv 102 / [[Ikv 103|103]] chassis, which were phased out by the [[Ikv 91]]. Stemming from the [[UDES 33]] prototype, the {{PAGENAME}} was upgraded, adopting an elevator mechanism for the Rbs 55 ATGM launcher. This innovation allowed deployment and subsequent protection within the chassis through a top-mounted two-door hatch. The [[Rbs 55]], Swedish designation for the [[BGM-71 TOW]], offered a commendable range of 65 to 3000 m, enhancing the vehicle's agility as a TOW system carrier. Despite increased mobility, the integration of a Ford V6 engine, shared with the Bv 206, compromised off-road capabilities compared to the original engine. Between 1984 and 1986, 57 {{PAGENAME}} units were manufactured and distributed, finding placement in Armoured and Mechanized brigades as support vehicles. Serving in the Swedish Army until the early 2000s, the {{PAGENAME}} earned praise for its economical and prompt deployment, effectively fulfilling critical operational requirements.
 Introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]], the pvrbv 551 is a small anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) tank destroyer used by the Swedish Army's ground units. It is equipped with the well-known BGM-71 TOW and can engage a wide spectrum of adversaries. It is critical that players use ambush tactics and limit their exposure to the enemy's line of sight during battles. The vehicle's survivability is entirely focused on rifle-calibre fire. The chassis is enclosed by armour plates ranging in thickness from 5 to 25 mm, with the front providing some protection against light machine-gun rounds. Players should try to reposition frequently since even close explosions of artillery shells can severely damage, if not destroy, the vehicle.

-The '''pansarvärnsrobotbandvagn (pvrbv) 551''' is a tank destroyer designed by Landsverk and Hägglunds for the Swedish Army. From 1975 to 1978, when the [[ikv 103|infanterikanonvagn (ikv) 102/103]] was replaced by the [[ikv 91]], the Swedish Army used the chassis as the basis for a new armoured combat vehicle with anti-tank and anti-air variants. The pvrbv 551 was the anti-tank variant, while the [[lvrbv 701|luftvärnsrobotvagn 701]] was the anti-air variant. The BGM-71 TOW was the primary armament. The vehicle also received a new engine and transmission similar to the Bandvagn 206. The vehicle was operated by four crews. The commander and driver are in the front seats of the vehicle. The gunner and loader are positioned in the centre of the vehicle, beneath two huge roof openings. When the pvrbv 551 enters firing mode, the hatches are opened, and the BGM-71 TOW is hoisted above the vehicle roof. The gunner and loader are exposed in this position. The vehicle was manufactured between 1984 and 1986 at Hägglund & Söner in Rnsköldsvik. A total of 57 units were produced and deployed with the Swedish Army until it was formally phased out in the early 2000s.

 The survivability of the {{PAGENAME}} is entirely designed for rifle-calibre fire. The chassis is surrounded by plates varying between 5 and 25 mm of thickness, with the front angled to somewhat protect against machine-gun bullets. The {{PAGENAME}} is otherwise entirely exposed to all forms of weaponry, and is expected to be kept behind cover because of this. The launcher is external, and fired by a very exposed launcher and gunner. This means the {{PAGENAME}} has to put distance between itself and the opponent in order to not get knocked out immediately. Ideally, the chassis should be positioned behind cover, only exposing the launcher itself, making it more difficult for enemies to locate the vehicle.

 However, there is one big upgrade this launcher gets compared to the UDES; the ammunition. It starts off with the potent RB 55B (I-TOW) but can upgrade to the deadly RB 55C (TOW-2). The RB 55B is a reasonable stock munition, being very similar to the ATGM used by UDES 33. However, the RB 55C variant is one of the more versatile ATGMs at its BR range. With 800 mm of penetration and immunity to jamming, it has the ability to threaten and penetrate almost all vehicles at its BR and even higher. The slightly higher velocity over default missile makes it easier to hit long range targets before they can potentially drive into cover. It's also a Tier II modification so it can be unlocked relatively fast. This makes the launcher one of the most dangerous weapons to face at any range, provided the operator can stay alive, as the gunner is exposed from the waist up on the vehicle.
-Both missiles retain unexpected amount of overpressure damage, which can be used to easily remove clearly superior tanks like the [[IT-1]]. ERA tanks also do not have bottom armour and have holes in frontal turret armour, thus can still be instantly destroyed by hitting them into very specific weak spots.

 The Rbs 55 is the same ATGM launcher found on the [[UDES 33]] but gets access to better munitions. The reload time is the same as the UDES so enemies will be able to replace their crew member quicker than your reload. It also gets less ammo, carrying only 8 rounds instead of 10. It is recommended to take a full ammo load as you will definitely run low during an extended battle. The firing angles are more restricted vertically, with only -13° compared to the UDES' -20°. It is horizontally restricted to the 4 o'clock right and 8 o'clock left positions.

This is a general downgrade in comparison to the [[UDES 33]], as the lesser horsepower makes it slower and less torque capable. The engine is also petrol, giving it a very high RPM compared to other vehicles. This makes it pretty loud, and distinct in sound compared to tanks around it. The {{PAGENAME}} isn't very good in reverse either, as the transmission only has one reverse gear. The neutral steering is good however, as the missile launcher can't fully traverse. This gives it a very comfortable handling when standing still, something the {{PAGENAME}} is meant for.

-The {{PAGENAME}} is very situational, as the vehicle requires a secure sightline, preferably with a lot of distance. The {{PAGENAME}} can be used in closed engagement, when positioned behind teammates. But this is usually at the hope that your team will tank incoming shells for you. Since the reload is slow, and the launcher unable to fire on the move, the {{PAGENAME}} struggles to safely engage opponents safely without any cover. When used behind terrain, the vehicle can safely pull back after launching, and can be difficult to hit due to the small profile of the launcher.

 Ideally the {{PAGENAME}} should be played passively. By making use of the profile, the tank should try to stay hull-down while still maintaining a large sightline. Since the vehicle sports deadly ATGM missiles, the {{PAGENAME}} rarely struggles to penetrate from the front. This allows for more creativity, as the vehicle doesn't necessarily need to rely on flanks to deal damage. The vehicle also comes with smoke grenades stock. Although a single salvo, their spread and deploy speed are great, allowing the vehicle to safely retreat without giving the opponent time to react.
