MOWAG Piranha II
Notes: This is a longer, 10-wheeled, more heavily armed, tank destroyer variant of the MOWAG Piranha (the base vehicle for the LAV-25 and related vehicles). The vehicle is built in Switzerland, but the only customer has been the Swedish Navy, who bought 44 of them for coastal defense roles to use against landing craft and hovercraft. Armor is heavier as well. The versions for Sweden are equipped with two secure vehicular radios each. The versions for Sweden are also upgraded, with gun stabilization, thermal imaging, and a computerized land navigation system.
