 The Strv 122B carries on all the good armour from the previous 122A model, but gains a 20 mm steel plate on the LFP and underbelly, as well as having a remodelled hull ammunition rack. The plate helps stop ricocheting shells, and can be a layer of defence against explosive and chemical penetration rounds. The new hull ammunition rack is wider but has an overall lower height - meaning that shells entering the LFP and passing through the bottom of the tank's interior may now pass under the shells without hitting the racks.

-In 1994, the Swedish Army first purchased 150 [[Leopard 2A4]]s from Germany in stock (all the first five batches produced), which were delivered in 1994 and 1995, designated by the Swedish Army as [[Strv 121]], and later improved to the level of the [[Leopard 2A5]]. After that, the Swedish Army continued to evaluate the procurement of a second batch of more advanced main tanks, and in 1999 held tests with the modern NATO tanks of the 1990s: the American [[M1A2]], the German Leopard 2A5, the French [[Leclerc]] and the British [[Challenger 2]].

 During the trials, the Leopard 2A5 defeated various strong opponents (in order of test results: Leopard 2A5, M1A2, Leclerc, Challenger-2) and won orders from the Swedish Army. The Swedish Army ordered 120 Leopard 2A5s, which they also modified to their own specifications, and were given the designation [[Strv_122A|Strv 122]] (the Germans refer to this Swedish variant as the ''Leopard 2S'') The contract also includes related training simulators, parts, training and logistics support, and industrial reciprocity, in addition to Sweden's priority option to purchase an additional 90 vehicles.

After that, the Swedish Army continued to evaluate the procurement of a second batch of more advanced main tanks, and in 1999 held tests, and the "four kings" of the tank world in the 1990s - the American M1A2, the German Leopard 2A5, the French Leclerc and the British Challenger 2 - came together in a fierce competition. In the test assignment, the Leopard 2A5 defeated various strong opponents (in order of test results: Leopard 2A5, M1A2, Leclerc, Challenger-2) and won orders from the Swedish Army. The Swedish Army ordered 120 Leopard 2A5s, which were greatly improved by the Swedish side, and were given the Strv-122 designation by the Swedish Army, and called the Leopard 2S by the German side; The contract also includes related training simulators, parts, training and logistics support, and industrial reciprocity, in addition to Sweden's priority option to purchase an additional 90 vehicles. The chassis of the Strv-122 was built by KraussMaffei and Hgglunds of Sweden, the turret was produced by Mak in cooperation with Bofors in Sweden, and the firing control system was integrated by STN Atlas Elektronik and Celsius Tech Systems AB of Sweden. In addition, Bofors still produces 50% of the main gun components. The Strv 122 combines advanced technology from Bofors, Ericsson and Celsius, and has been enhanced with enhanced protection. The Strv-122 is the most sophisticated and protected version of the Leopard II series, ranking alongside France's Leclerc as the world's most sophisticated main battle tank. The Swedish Army has claimed that any anti-armor weapons in service – including 120mm tank guns and top-of-the-line anti-tank weapons – are not equipped with the Strv-122.
