Luftvärnskanonvagn L-62 anti II, also known as Landsverk anti-II or L-62 was a Swedish self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that was developed between 1941 and 1942. The vehicle was developed from the Toldi L-60 m/38 tank. The chassis was lengthened and an 40 mm Bofors AA-gun added. The gun was called 40 ItK/38 in Finnish service.

The tank was exported to Hungary, where it was further developed into an AA-tank called 40M Nimrod. 135 Nimrods were built. Finland bought six tanks in 1942. These were given to the tank brigade in May. All tanks survived the war and were used until 1966.

Operational history

During the battles in the summer of 1944, the Finnish tanks downed eleven Soviet aircraft and thus prevented attacks against the tank brigade.
