  4.  @williamzk9083  the Swiss still own a big enough share of the ammo production to block exports to Ukraine.

  5. It looks like one because it IS one of those under the armor. It's just been stretched a bit to fit the gun barrel of the FH77As that were dismantled to provide them.

  6. Indeed, however, using a lanyard trigger for any semi or fully self propelled artillery designed after 1896 is imo. A criminal engineering/procurement spec. error of design.

  8. Same here 🥰 Was trained in -03/-04 on 12cm m/41D mortars designed in Finland (much improved on Soviet 100mm mortars captured in the winter war iirc.), built under licence by Bofors😊 Finnish mortar design ever since is second to none!❤

  11.  @senortrafficcone8232  money already spent, the bayonets doesn't need any further improvement, thus all that has to be done is to make sure new personal firearms are backwards compatible with existing stockpiles of bayonets.

  12.  @alanbstard4  still no clarification... stop pussyfooting with vague umbrella terms of completely arbitrary implied content.

  13. The thing with hand disinfectant is that it's only really effective on dried skin that's newly washed carefully with soap and running water as our natural skin oils otherwise prevent the disinfectant from getting where we want it to go.

  14.  @jizburg  yup, but it's not funny when those misogynists and fascists get their conspiracy lies and scapegoating boosted by social media algorithms, often sponsored by the nations enemies (Putin, Iran & the CCP) to the point where they are able to dupe the willfully blind conservative parties into their own political string puppets...

  15.  @penelopegreene  when it entered service, yes.

  16.  @dennisbirgersson3959  500 years? No, we fought with the Danes for the better part of 800 years (from the moment the three Norse kingdoms united into Sweden in the 10th century, until the end of the Great Nordic war and the Battle at Lund in the early 19th century)

  17. Wouldn't a light weight flail be more effective in that context?

  18. Patton 160 that's why sensible countries keep Jet engines where they belong in late cold war designs: in planes, helicopters and occationally, boats. Not in AFVs. ;)

  19. I did my conscript training in a 12cm mortar platoon, our conscript platoon leader who did 15months to our 10 and the privates 7.5, had a training accident where a couple of moose had strayed into the target zone, and the spotter team had sent a cease fire, only the salvo of the active firemission had just gone out.. Those moose got showered with 4 12cm airburst shells at 13kg each... There wasn't even a point in trying to call the game warden...

  20. Here's a video of what it looks like at the reciving end of a proximity fused barrage feom a different but comparable 155mm artillery system. https://youtu.be/n2OgwHCVFYM This is filmed from about a km away from the impact zone.

  21. allan chitra well... taking shots at the vodka factory IS a sound strategy as it deprives the russians of not only booze, but fuel, ammo, wage reserves, and targeting computers at the same time! Because Boris doesn't calculate ballistics at all if he doesn't get his vodka XD

  22.  @jaimemartinez9792  nope, not enough power, you need a full sized powerplant for a high energy laser weapon atm.

  28.  @gillesregnery9692  it's not a tank, it's an IFV, it's protected against anything up to 15mm AP on the sides, 30mm apds in the front and it's main job is to carry and support an infantry squad. If it comes up against tanks, it's job is to either pop smoke and yeet itself into cover and concealment Or, stay vewwy, vewwy quiet and hide to wait until the tanks move on or call down artillery, or wait until its infantry can engage from the side or rear of the tank and then open up on the tank to supress it or finish it off while covering the infantry falling back to mount up.

  29.  @alanlahay8693  the 50 round belt drum is for mobile action where the gunner has to operate the MG as a personal firearm. When you reach a defensive objective, the assistant gunner brings the belt can(s) forward, each belt can has a 200-250rnd belt ready to go.

  30. The CV90105 and CV90120 should be viewed as concept successors to the Ikv91

  31.  @Thebonesoftrees  ehh... no, that thing is so obsolete and useless waste of resources it isn't even funny even before it left the factories.

  32. Really? Bc the Swedish army manual for the ksp58B states to adjust the gas setting to ~650rpm default for ground targets (which is about the same as a water cooled maxim) and only up the settings as the barrels build fouling and that the higher settings around 900-1300rpm is for AA or heli door gun use. (our A version of the mag 58 was in 6.5mm Swedish, same as the m1896 mausers and the Ag42 Ljungman)

  33.  @markorsrpska7230  modern tanks still can't observe all 360° simultaneously, only where the commanders panoramic sight or the gunners fixed sight is turned to, and possibly if the driver has IR/heat vision straight ahead, the rest is still just letter box prism periscopes. Eg, there are always dead angles to shoot from, it's just that those dead angles aren't fixed in the horizontal plane as it was on cold war tanks.

  34. Eh... no. The town, and the rifle is named after the Swedish king that founded the town in the 17th century. Just like the current king is the 16th Carl Gustaf to wear the crown.

  35.  @ozymandiasnullifidian5590  while the mechanical function of the autoloaders indeed seem to be reliable, the placement along the turret ring that coincides with the centre mass as the main aiming point for hostile tanks and AT weapons makes those autoloaders into a liability and the tanks into death traps as soon as they face a weapon that has the ability to penerate the armor close enough to the ammo in the carousel to ignite the propellant.

  36.  @smyers820gm  my comment was in speculation from my experience of the unguided AT4 and Carl Gustaf. I have no experience or training on the NLAW and haven't even seen it with my mk1 eyeball yet, despite beeing in the Swedish home guard for over twelve years.

  37.  @EP-bb1rm  when one hull has been upgraded in all functional aspects and the other has only had weight added without reinforcement of the drive train, suspension or tracks to match the increase, then no. The comparison. Is. Not. Relevant.

  38. Plenty of people expend insane efforts to avoid making progress

  39. Thing is, with the guidance systems of the Lvkv90, a short range missile system would only add fire and forget capability to a gun system with essentially the same range and effect on target. I'd say a network capability so that the Lvkv gunner can request centralised gun control for any Strf9040 in data link range would be far more effective (with manual opt-in for the Strf9040 commanders, no automatic override)

  40.  @swaghauler8334  barrel change shouldn't require specialists unless you need to dissassemble large parts of the recoil absorbing system to do so.

  41.  @HedgehogZone  it's possible some are already on the way, the 50 CV90s the govt promised didn't specify armament or type, but 50 CV90s is pretty much spot on for a mechanised infantry battalion of three line companies (3 platoons of 3 Strf9040 each plus 1 Bgbv90, 2 Ldvagn90 and 1 Evagn90) One HQ/Support company ( 2 platoons of 4 GrkPbv90120 each) plus an assortment of command, communications, logistics, recon and meddvac vehicles. And one AA section of 3 Lvkv9040)

  42. Pbv302 will always be the diamond standard of APCs in my book 😊

  43. Just remember that it's not amphibious despite it's low ground preassure!

  44. kmerchant2006 CV9040s are also far quieter than any 26+ton vehicle has any right to be! Generally, modern AFVs are very stealthy from the front, not so much from side or rear. E.g: if you hear it good, it's not coming for you... yet. Also, Jay, IRL, when an AFV is idling or moving near you, you don't hear it half as much as you feel it's rumbling presense through your bones.

  45. You might be able to track one or three down in Ukraine after the war, though they might need more than a bit of TLC to get usable again😂

  47. Every fighting vehicle needs to be adequate in combat but as simple, fast and cheap as possible to repair within the combat requirements. And dismount comfort is an essential combat requirement as a well rested soldier is a far more effective soldier than one that's been rattled around on the way to the engagement, even if not rattled past the point of skeletal injuries...

  48.  @KamiKaZantA  just twin 120mm mortars with direct fire AND MRSI capability 😁

  49.  @damianm-nordhorn116  either way, the only thing absolutely certain is that every "god" known to man never existed outside the deranged minds of the pathetic brainwashed belivers of each and every religion as they are all functionally identical to eachother in the sense that they all rely on the same kind of bullshit psychological whip/carrot bullshit as the plot of the 1984 novel.

  50. It was never intended to be that anyway, so your point is moot.
