The Infanterikanonvagn 91 Järven is a 90mm-armed light tank destroyer that was developed by the Swedish Army from the late 60's.
Although it is classified as a tank destroyer, it can be considered a light tank by itself, more related to the Soviet BMP 685 prototype than its official counterparts like the West German Kanonenjagdpanzer.
