What even is going on in that image?
Space Battleship Yamato.
Need I say more?
Why?
The SAAB Project LX, rocket x jet powered aircraft with internally carried missiles.
That looks like a draken if it was that german rocket plane.
I need it.
I got a few interesting ones.
Landsverk project on how to improve the m/42, hull mounted cannon as well as a dual AA/AT main gun in the turret.
Swedish coastal defense ship from 1911, closest thing to a Swedish Dreadnought you can get.
Landsverks IKV 65 Alternatives, like a cold war Pvkv m/43
The good ole Ansaldo proposal, most likely going to be the top tier for Swedish naval despite not being ordered simply due to how well known it is.
Saab project 1390, would have carried RBS 15’s if i remember correctly
The landsverk Pansarluftvärnsvagn based on a leghtened Pbv 302 chassis
The inter war tank project A4C
The Strv m/41 S-III Torn A Alt 1, one of 4 alternatives proposed by Landsverk in 1943 taht were based on a heavily modified Strv m/41 and made as a response to the Soviet T34’s inspected in Finland.
Pick your favorite id say.
Object 699. Proposal to mount NATO weapons systems in the BMP-3 chassis, including the Mistral and Wildcat SAM systems.
“At the initiative of many foreign companies, SKBM conducted pre-contract work with the companies Matra Defiance France, KMSh Peru, Giat France, TDA (Thompson-CSF) France, Veta Bulgaria, OTO Vneba Italy, Patria Famım Sweden-Finland on the possibility of installing on the universal naval system (object 699) the Mistral, 3PK Wildcat SAM systems, the Milochatse minelayer, the 120-km 2R2M mortar, the creation of a combat missile system for Bulgaria, a cannon with a variety of calibers of pistol armament, and a twin-barreled AMOS mortar mount. Each of the projects involved the sale of 50 to 300 samples of object 699. The leading engineer for object 699 was S.F. Zakamdin.”
Does this count?
Yea
Good, then i have another one

Already posted this in a different thread, but also fits here. Tank concept between the USSR, USA, Germany and France, but went no-where. (Yes it’s declassified)

Here’s a fun one: Hawker P.1030.
Functionally, a Hawker Tempest redesigned to take the Rolls-Royce Eagle 46H eagle making ~4,000 hp+.
It was expected to be able to reach a top speed of 508 mph/819 kmh at 6,069 m with an eye-watering climb rate of 1951 ft/min or 32.51 m/s.
There’s a thread on the Secret Projects forum that has a bunch of interesting info on it, and it’s one of my personal favourite prop designs.
Concept of a casemate Leopard 2 tank destroyer.
I give you what happens when you leave the lads at BAE Warton locked in a room with too much tea.
