  1. Apparently, the swiss had a similiar concept in development with a horizontally traversable gun, and the project got scrapped on the drawing board instead of going all the way into service as the Strv 103 did

  2. Lol! Your nazi friends who invented those conspiracy delusions are a much more serious and dangerous cancer than a few hundred wahabists constantly watched by the national security police... Especially as you nationalists and the islamic jihadists are all the same kind of trash only using different labels for the same sick and perverted ideas of a "perfect" society and blaming different scape goats for the same strawman accusations.

  3.  @warhorse03826  the 40m shell of a mk19 is far too slow for use in a ciws system at all... it's not even supersonic ffs. And 2500m is not even pissing range in the context
    1
  4.  @warhorse03826  but it does need to be supersonic as the relative speed of the target means your "shrapnel wall", if using a 40mm mk19, will have to detonate the slow ass frag grenades so close to itself that it will damage it's own firing mount and crew... And would be too slow to intercept anything not aimed directly at itself.

  6. Bortsett från att Mjölner bara är ett nedgraderat hafsverk till imitation av AMOS... Ett system vi skulle haft i tjänst sen 2006 om Göran P och Förskingraren Reinfeldt med hantlangare var för sig låtit bli att blodtömma försvaret till förmåner och skattesänkningar för deras vänner parasiterna i "Svenskt Näringsliv"...

  7. Should be, yes.

  8. A handful of years ago, a Swedish Home Guard mortar platoon almost delivered a salvo of 12cm zone fused shells onto a local newspaper editor who fortunately was spotted by the firing observer team that managed to abort the fire mission just as the battery control had started the 10s countdown... The news editor got a couple of weeks probation and a few hundred € equivalent in fines for tresspassing onto a closed military exercise field for his stupid luck. Every few years, the occational moose isn't as lucky as they are harder to spot in wooded target terrain and tends to avoid roads.

  9. HyperionGM the Lvkv 90 is a pretty decent SPAAG system afaik. It could use a medium range ATGM to compliment it's 40mm/L70 cannon though.

  11. Matsimus just a word of wisdom from an old colleague of mine... you don't buy just one boot ;) Meaning: if they do do civilian surplus sales, buy two if you can get the funds, and use the most worn one for parts supply.

  12. firefox5926 just have to remove the crew hatches, put lock-bolts on all other hatches, replace the breech with a non functional counter weight, remove the batteries, drain the fuel and replace all the lubricants with conservating synthetic grease or inert gas and lock the road wheels to the hull. That way, the tanks would be safe enough to play with and around at their own risk under parental responsibility/supervision and the critical parts to restore them to working order can be conservated and refitted if nessesary. Also, optics will have to be upgraded anyway if they need to be pressed back into service, so those can remain and in a few years the army will have a whole generation of aspiring tank crews!

  15.  @jonny2954  not in blocky terrain where tanks tend to get stuck with one track in the air on boulders or tree stumps while an articulated wheeled chassi like that of the Archer will just use it's actuated waist and all wheel drive to climb right over, and tracked vehicles like tanks, IFVs also has to slow down in uneven terrain.

  19. No ERA, active camouflage and heat masking suit availiable, turret mounted Spike ATGMs coming up.

  20.  @edi9892  the ammo is stored base towards loader, horizontally

  21. I wouldn't be surprised if both AMOS and Mjölner could be upgraded to launch such drones. Just have to launch them a few seconds apart so their wings don't collide in deployment 😂

  22. At least once... ;)

  23.  @somberflight  that's situational.

  25. It depends on the wall and if the heat source is hot enough to heat the wall. Roofs are more likely to reveal a heat source.

  26. Imagine the all steel M1 and a G3A3 with a top picatinny and an aimpoint on the back... that's what the Swedish home guard humps around... volountarily... XD
    1
  27. The fact that the top is where the hatches are is why ERA can't be mounted on top of any tank with a manned turret. Any other vapid ideas?

  28. While beeing hit by it even once results in a more acute condition of the same acronym. (Cease To Exist) ;)

  29. Yeah, if it can't scoot out of counter battery target zone in less than 60sec after third round fires, it's just nothing more than soon-to-be scrap metal and mystery meat...:/

  30. That's roughly how most western indirect fire support is organised afaik. A field commander gets assigned an FO-team or FO-AFV, the FO-teams are either a detatched part of a firing asset, or an integrated company/battalion/brigade level command asset that in turn gets assigned time allotments for direct control over specific indirect fire assets. Though counter battery radar units and specific target types like enemy SPAA, regional command and strategic assets tend to have priority override access to every own indirect fire asset in their sensor range, for easily understandable reasons.

  31. Iraq and Ukraine wars says otherwise, bottski🤣🤡

  32.  @alexlanning712  for maintenance and upkeep, you make the fancy stuff modular so that the conscripts can just swap in a new module and get back in action while the damaged or malfunctioning module gets sent back to actual techs and engineers with a clean room facility.

  33. And lanyards on fixed and self propelled guns went obsolete in the 19th century.

  34. Until you remember how heavy and cumbersome it was to haul between firing positions and how much of a bitch it is to clean?

  35. Good for him he wasn't in the Swedish army... we only have 12cm mortars, using modified 81mm tubes for firing crew and fire director training, all three pieces in a battery firing every time as there is an enormous stockpile of obsolete, impact fused (with optional brass extender rods) 81mm shells from the cold war...

  36. We Swedes are very good at war when we want to be, but from more than 1100 years of experience, we have realized it's not as fun as kings, dictators and their authority worshipping sycophants imagine it to be.

  37. You replace the track or damaged track links and damaged and road wheels, just like on any other tracked vehicle.

  40.  @AdurianJ  before or after the "economists" of the department of finance got to put their shivs in it?

  41. Spoken like a true putin lover who don't think Swedes know that target has been painted on our face since the 16th century anyway and nothing we can do can ever change it except staying armed and ready to the point where attacking us won't ever be worth the cost in Russian resources wasted to achive any possible objectives they might desire compared to what those resources might be needed to achive elsewhere. That's the only calcus that matter. And as for nukes, we could technically revive the nuclear weapons program we negotiated away in the 1950ies tomorrow and we'd have a reliable but tiny stockpile ready before new years eve, using nothing but locally produced components and raw materials and already present engineers.

  42. Kept your mouth closed?

  43. Nope, the CV9040 gun is the L70, the one Matsimus is cranking is the L48 m/36 unless I'm blind.
    1
  44. ​​ @ReallyFarFarAway  and as the guns are significantly different on several details that results in almost total parts incompatibility though the basic mechanism of accelerated recoil operation of the latter is only an improvement on the older model, I made a different choise 😊

  45. Most airsoft players do it better if they do face paint.

  46. Skyer that only makes sense in games where HP is a thing. IRL, an ATGM is useless if it's defeated before it can have any effect on it's target, and direct impact ATGMs are extremely vulnerable to active countermeasures as well as passive/reactive ones like ERA or stand-off cages.

  47. OR, as an ECM/ECCM and supply carrier following semi-autonomously behind a platoon. Possibly with medevac capacity. I can also see it as an unmanned Hobarts funnies platform, ie, a company level modular combat engineer asset, to dig trenches/emplacements, tent pits, assault demining, possibly a bigger, amphibious flat top version could act as a self deploying pontoon bridge/bridging element etc.

  48. The home guard has multiple CGs/platoon and Hägglunds Bv. 203s along with 40mm bloop tubes, IA Sniper rifles, Mag'58s G3rifles with aimpoint red dots, higher dog density than the army and 12cm mortars as well as more AT landmines than anyone can figure out how to place them all within the regulated time of deployment... Coastal home guard units have CB90s with full compliment of M2 HMGs, mines and depth charges. And the Armed forces HQ is pushing for funds to provide manpads for self defence agaist airborne threats, so the home guard is not the red headed stephchild of the armed forces anymore.

  49. That's Carl... he's 'special'... They tried to take it from him at the end of the OCIWS trials... Three people were hospitalized with severe bite marks and the entire batallion supply of sedative was expended without effect so the top brass figured it was best to let him keep it and use him as a CQC/breech and clear instructor...

  50. One of them is probably monitoring a terminal hooked up to the ballistics computer that shows the fire mission details etc. The other is most likely a safety controller of some kind.
