The Pvrbv 551 is a Swedish anti-tank missile carrier, developed in the early 1980’s on the basis of the outdated Ikv 103 SPG’s. Arriving in War Thunder with update 1.97 ‘Viking Fury’, the Pvrbv 551 will await all eager tankers at the higher ranks of the new Swedish ground forces tree coming to the game very soon!

Thanks to a combination of its deadly TOW ATGMs and low profile, the Pvrbv 551 makes for the perfect tank hunter for high tier battles and a suitable choice for holding down strategic positions and defending objectives.





The Pvrbv 551 is armed with a single TOW launcher as its one and only means of engaging hostile threats. While capable of piercing the armor of most opponents lacking in additional dynamic protection, aspiring commanders of the Pvrbv 551 will need to absolutely make every shot count due to the vehicle’s limited ammunition count! Namely, the Pvrbv 551 can only fire off a total of 8 TOW missiles before commanders need to seriously consider heading down to the nearest blue-colored resupply station.
