Norway was behind in regards to purchasing tanks. It was not until the mid-1930s that the Royal Norwegian Army (No: Hæren) began to express an interest in Armored Fighting Vehicles. Their gaze took them to their Scandinavian neighbor, Sweden. AB Landsverk were working on the prototype L-120 for the Swedish Army and Norway ordered one. This would become Norway's first tank and was given various names such as ‘Kongstanken’ (Royal Tank), ‘Norgestanken’, (Norwegian Tank); and ‘Rikstanken’ (The National Tank).
