+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Swedish light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Ground Breaking"]]. It is one of the first Strf-9040 versions and is in a folder with the CV9030FIN. This model has a Bofors 40mm canon and compared to the Bushmasters it is much better, only issue is the 24-round reload magazine that limits its firing power, with that comes trigger-control. It has good amount of penetration, and a decent turret rotation speed. Although sluggish when stock, it can become something greater when spaded.

+It has great speed combined with a very good and underrated 40mm gun that can shred its enemies to pieces. The good manoeuvrability is great and it has a decent engine even when stock, but it gets even better when spaded. It has a great gun with good penetration values and an awesome rate of fire. It can also unlock fuse shells that let it fight aircraft as good as any anti-air and it has access to 6 smoke-shells. it has access to Generation 2 thermals and It also has access to a scout-drone.<!-- The types of armour present on the vehicle and their general locations -->
 <!-- Example: * Rolled homogeneous armour (Front, Side, Rear, Hull roof)
 * Cast homogeneous armour (Turret, Transmission area) -->

Use it to see the enemies before they can see you and prepare. It also has access to Gen 2 thermals which let it effectively fight up-to date enemies as well. This should be prioritised as it is a worthwhile upgrade.
