12 cm tornautomatpjäs m/70
From Warlike

The 12 cm tornautomatpjäs m/70, also known as ERSTA was developed to defend vital points like seaports from enemy landing ships, as well as area denial and fire support, even on a nuclear battlefield. Due to political cost-cutting requirements, the number of 12/70 batteries built in Sweden was limited to six. For the same reason, some protection aspects were abandoned.
