Default Dominican Republic

Yes, the Number One Super-Neutral Moral Great Power of Sweden did sell a number of Tanks, ACs and Mustang Fighter Aircraft (ex-US) to the Dominican Republic.

(And a firearms factory to Egypt, sub-machine guns to Indonesia and Mustang Fighter Aircraft to Israel e t c).

The tanks were type m/40 L (L=Landsverk). 100 were ordered in 1940 and delivered in 1942. They served with 4th Armoured Regt.

After beeing decommissioned in 1957 20 of those tanks were sold to the Dominican Republic in 1960.

I knew that they were running there for a long time - but now on sale! Fantastic!

ADDED: This was originally a design for Hungary. They were manufactured under license by Mowag and Ganz and used by the Hungarians on the East Front - known as "Toldi".
