  1. The safety zone for friendly forces is usually regulated to 300m beyond the primary effect zone. The primary effect zone of a 155mm artillery barrage where 50+% casualties on any target unit is expected is usually templated to a 150m×175m rectangle with the short end facing the firing battery.

  2. Lol! It's 'just' 14kg... the German light 57mm infantry mortars of ww2 weighed almost twice that... with less than half the effect on target.

  3.  @Colonel_Overkill  then again, Prager U is about as good an advocate for freedom of speech as ISIS... Neither of them have a fucking clue about the concept and both needs to be shut down with the same level of prejudice.

  4. Yup, they don't have much more than double the range of a Western 120mm mortar (Tulpan has roughly 20km range) And, as it's so very slow ro limber and unlimber, it means that as soon as it fires it's first shot, if there's a counter battery RADAR capable of noticing the shell, the way Western and Ukranian indirect support and communications are organized, the coordinates of a Tulpans firing position will be arriving at a drone unit or counter battery assigned howitzer battery before that first Tulpan shell even hits the ground, and by the time the second Tulpan shell is in the breech, some kind of counter battery response is either loaded and ready to fire as soon as the second Tulpan firing confirms it's exact position if the counter battery is by howitzers, or already airborne and on the way hunting if the coordinates was sent to a drone unit.

  6. John Doe it's not a more modern system, it's a less high tech system in a protective semi-turret...

  7. ZeOverman the AMOS system was a 50/50 cooperative effort afaik. And it was pretty much ready for serial production by the time the Swedish politicians pulled their last stunt. Just like the Norwegians did with the Archer SPH artillery system a few years later.

  8. I wouldn't use it for anything bigger than 3.5"

  9.  @yourhandsomestep-dad2669  well... some people don't want to face the fact that jews aren't synonymus to big banking and prefer to uphold a racist lie instead of long established systemic synergies and corporate lobbying to expand that system. (New public management anyone?)

  10. Pennywise The dancing clown you should also expect a LOT of waiting time between intense moments of high adrenaline action. Learn to eat, wash, piss and shit in no time, to get effective cat naps any where any time and go from fully asleep in a tent to fully dressed, kitted and in your designated fighting station on pure reflex without needing to see anything before your brain catches up with what's going on.

  11.  @wildschwein9066  then start in Djursholm, Lidingö, Limhamn and Höllviken where most of those who keep funding the drug wars live... Idiot...

  14. The driver voided any right to even complain about it when he let his crew refuse to do the maintenance themselves. If the driver get pissed at Mat for going over his tracks with power tools, the driver deserves those power tools shoved where the sun doesn't shine...

  15. Roflmao! Typical Dane, always with a jelous inferiority complex over loosing when taking on more than they can handle over two hundred years ago... But I have to admit, Danes are better at pastries and partying, they are the hobbits of Scandinavia 😆🤘

  26. Regarding the R/C version, there were experiments conducted with an R/C S-tank (Strv 103) in a similiar mine clearing/engineering role back in the late 1990ies called GlufsGlufs. The trials were deemed unsuccessful as they couldn't get the driving cameras or R/C electronics on the prototype to survive the mine clearing rig detonating a bog standard 10kg TNT AT-mine.

  27. Akshat Chaaras not really, and also, the only good thing about Israel is that all the other middle east countries with the dubious exception of Jordania are ruled by regimes so much worse it's not even funny imo. With a better, not borderline fascist coalition running the parliament, Israel could truly become a country worth admiring for more than it's invaluable historical and cultural heritage.

  28. In Swedish service, it actually is equipped with towing lines for ski infantry! 😁

  33. Well, yeah, if our weapons were any lesser quality than they are, the probability of needing to use them in defence would grow proportionally. And we are a country so small that we can't afford to waste citizen soldiers with poor quality gear either.

  34. Not a pretty picture...

  35. Swedish Mariekex is a civilian bisquit that is very close to our equivalent of the German Panzerkekse, it's a dry, round wheat flour bisquit about 50mm diameter and 2mm thick. Our "Pansarkex" were about 5mm thick, and double the density of the civilian Mariekex, but the taste was the same and, I think made by the same baked foods factory.

  36. Fuck, that's scary. I hope the rest of that batch of fuses were taken out of service the same day and the rest of that type of fuse was shelved pending investigation.

  37.  @fuxzor  I'd say it depends, but mostly, yes their days Are numbered in many scenarios. At the same time, a piece is still a piece, and there's no point in scrapping one as long as it's able to toss budget down range and there's trained crew to use them.

  38.  @gazza9463  they do, and it's accessed from the troop transport compartment iirc.

  41. Reg. Tank telephone: as long as it doesn't weighs one down significantly, one simply can't have too many backup coms options when shit hits the fan. Hell, just a couple of lead connectors for old dual lead telephone wire to allow the infantry to hitch up a 50'ies field telephone to the intercom when there's a known hostile electronic warfare unit in the region.

  42.  @alfalegionnaire3451  nope, surprisingly many are actually only unintentional self-sterilizations by physical trauma...

  43.  @whipplefilter22  a former colleague of mine did his conscript service on a Centurion based bridgelayer when one of his crew mates got his head caved in by the bridge deployment beam as he leaned his helmet and head on the lip of a hatch underneath it during a short redeployment march in direct violation of the safety regulations as it was a known danger the deploymemt beam could dip and smack the chassi roof if the tracks hit a bump in the ground/road after working itself loose and unbalanced from the vehicle vibrations when driving.

  44.  @khalsasikhpunjabda  and if one runs past you, you fucking follow and run at least as fast in the same direction to get out of the blast zone...

  45. But with a cannon that big it'd get too heavy for humvees.

  46. Well... for the pop up, you take the old S-tank concept, you redesign it as an unmanned AFV replace the DD-style flotation screens with foam filled pods balanced to float it submerged about 3-6ft deep. Replace the gas turbine and diesel with an AIP power pack using electric drives, add multi spectrum sensors, a floating semi-passive sensor and communications probe masked as a 5l plastic can or something and you'll have one hell of an ambush asset. Especially if the integrated dozer blade is kept for above ground deployment in snow or along wooded ridges. The removal of the gas turbine and diesel would reduce heat signature immensely, the rest would be masked by water or snow in short order when the asset is placed in passive observation. If needed and time allows, a couple of soldiers can spend time erasing tracks and masking the straight lines and sharp angles with local foliage or snow.

  49. Often, it might appear that the leader is out of sync when they carry a staff of office or sword in their right hand and left arm swinging as the troops often march with their rifles on the left shoulder and thus right arm swinging.

  50.  @nalle1977  nope Pskott 86 is still in service indefinitely, just like the Grg m/48 and Ksp 58B (FN MAG 58)
