Strv 2000 140/40 mockup

 Note.  Saw this on Jon Hawkes Twitter Page and wanted more pics.  Interesting concept.  I bet the recoil would almost tear the vehicle apart unless they did some serious mitigation. Never even knew this had been considered!

Note 1.  Had to add his actual tweet so you guys could give him a follow.  He puts up some really interesting stuff.  You can thank me later...

#AFVaDay the Strv 2000 140/40 mockup. Notional future Swedish tank design, toyed with in the 1980s when 140 mm was all the rage as a Strv 103/104 replacement option.

As name suggests, 140 mm main armament with a 40 mm coax (and a 7.62 coax). pic.twitter.com/vreWf4b4BH
