  1.  Michael Myers  then you find another one on an enemy or swap it for an intact one with your quartermaster.

  2. Imagine a ww2 RAM Cangaroo but with a CV90 hull and turret cage and someone welded the wheel axles and the train legs of a C3 105mm howitzer onto the turret ring😂

  4.  @TrangleC  my comment was more of a speculative addendum than an opposition tbh.

  5. Right... just because you have built and stockpiled more artillery than you can fit between the lakes along your eastern border to compensate for something😂

  6. 81mm because they are muzzle loaded smooth bore weapons with cast iron ammunition which requires room for both temperature variations on the barrel as well as casting variance in the shells and the air in the tube below the shell to pass it by for the shells to slide smoothly down the tube with enough velocity to get a good strike from the fixed firing pin common in lighter mortars.

  9.  @gordonlawrence4749  I've heard that NATO and PACT brass expected a few % actual casualties in regular exercises... And that NATO observers were surprised when informed that Swedish army exercises didn't... On the other hand, we lost almost a pilot a week to various during the golden era of Swedish airforce power (3rd most powerful airforce on the globe with the SAAB J29, AJ/JA35 AJ/JA37 planes)

  10.  @phill2065  you're wellcome, the MAG has 8 gas settings in most versions and the regulator assembly is a part of the barrel, so each of the two barrels has it's own regulator dial, the gun also tends to speed up a bit as the barrel gets warmer, but as an open bolt straight feed gun, it can't run away on you unlike the m1919, or the M2HB.

  11.  @metro3041  you use a toy gun with a bayonet lug and use a compatible rubber bladed training/toy bayonet. My newest airsoft toy gun can do it, but first I'd need to find a rubber bladed G3 bayonet as my real G3 bayonet, while the real bayonet fits just as well on the airsoft toy as on the real G3 my government issued and keeps for me, using the steel bayonet makes the referees a bit grumpy and the other team unwilling to play ;)

  12. keith moore I'm envisioning a potential for an up-gunned (140mm gun/launcher) and slightly up-scaled semi-autonomous drone version of the S-tank using an air independant, power pack, electric final drive, reinforced rubber tracks and polymer armored buoyancy pods designed to balance out the tank at 1.5m depth instead of the old flotation screens and induction flow drives for underwater propulsion instead of the old and slow track-swimming.

  16. ShaolinDreams saddest thing is that the surrounding islamic fascist autocracies/monarchies around Israel are so much worse that even the jewish fascist/ultra conservative parties dominating Israeli politics for decades with their jingoism seem like the better choise to many when it's in fact just a different facet of the same despicable ideas. Israel could be so much better if civilized and progressive political parties only got a chance to win their elections and religious bullshit globally could be thrown in the cesspit of history where it belongs along with all the authoritarian ideologies that it's spawned in latter centuries.

  17. It's a protected logistics and utility vehicle in a similiar category to a Humvee, but with actual heavy terrain mobility. Not a combat vehicle.

  18.  @artruisjoew5473  lulwhat!? XD there are muzzle brakes on 155mm artillery... if the presence of a muzzle brake can warp your barrel... that's the least of your problems when the first shell starts going... Because if the weight of a muzzle brake can warp a barrel, that barrel is so thin and flimsy it won't survive the preassure of the propellant in a live round either.

  19.  @nagantm441  only because the yanks insists on putting a lot of unnessesary scrap metal and plastic around the barrel and gas tube between the gas regulator and the barrel/carry handle.

  20.  @samuel10125  yes, the true test is how many different kinds of jams you can get in exercises and learn how to fix them before you might have to do it in a combat zone. The Ak4B version of the HK G3 can get a few really nasty ones with it's very violent operating cycle. I've had one where a spent case bounced back in from the peace time brass catcher and rammed back in the beech, primer end forward by the next live round...

  23. ​ @ElementZephyr  those moral principles are not religious in orgin. They are behavioural prerequisites for survival and success of every vertebrate social species. Religions are, in fact, nothing more than parasitic sociopathic crime syndicates based around gaslighting, false debt claims targeting the emotionally and cognitively vulnerable and undeveloped for protection money and servitude extortion schemes.

  26. Lol! The Swedish army gun chiefs were conscript cpls when I did my conscript training in 2003 (300 days of service, same time as specialists like myself) XD The battery Off. however, was a seasoned captain, assisted by an Lt and a conscript sgt. (Conscript sgts were usually those who aimed to proceed to officers academy after 15 months service training)

  31. The newest version is getting a Spike ER ATGM launcher too.

  32. It replaced light (60-81mm) mortars in the Swedish army, 12cm mortars are still in the inventory. The Carl Gustaf is used as a squad level support weapon complimenting either a 5.65x45 LMG or a 7.62x51 GPMG.

  33.  @alanbstard4  if so, care to enlighten me by specifying the problematic changes you only vaguely imply in your first post?
    1
  34.  @alanbstard4  and what standards would that be? Because as far as I know, the basic level of physical and psychological requirements for any branch of any national armed forces can be met by anyone who doesn't suffer from chronic medical conditions that limits their physical mobility.

  35. The 155mm canister is a fleshette round...

  36. The one in the thumbnail is also in Swedish CBRN gear, that means they are most likely a conscript in training or a part time volounteer militia specialist. For the conscripts, they get ~€20/day paid out monthly plus an additional accumulated 20€/day as a completion bonus once they graduate compulsory training. And refusal to show up for or unauthorised quitting conscript training will be prosecuted and result in a prison sentense unless there are serious mitigating circumstances. The volounteer militia specialists are contracted for 8-10 days training per year split in two 4 day exercises for about €400/year+personal transportation expenses + €800/year completion bonus, most militia volounteers do at least 12-14 days per year, with the additional days are on weekends and only pays template standard transportation and meal expenses.

  39. Howitzer andMLRS compliment eachother, they do different things and thus one can never be better or worse than the other. It's like asking if a boat or a car is best.

  40.  @exo068  possibly, but the Lynx and other gen3s are going to bloat significally in unit costs as their teething issues develop and are adressed while the CV90 mk4 is already long past those.

  41. And what would those "massive" drawbacks be compared to it's competitors?
    1
  42.  @exo068  So I guess I misinterpreted what you meant with modular armor packages, you meant quick change mission module packs? Yeah, that's a distinct drawback, at least when it comes to small unit deployment for UN interventions, not so much for a ww3 SHTF scenario where numbers and just getting the units to where they are needed asap. The only somewhat modular protection pack I know of for the CV90 is the Barracuda IR obscuring cammo pack. As for the ammo, isn't the breech programmed 40mm 3P round an equivalent or at least close enough to AHEAD rounds to do the job? Because iirc, the CV9040D is supposed to have the breech upgraded to that standard as well as fitted with a two tube SPIKE ATGM launcher in the turret. Then again, the CV90 IFV with the 40/70 only really makes sense for Sweden as it's already in service. For the UK, you are probably correct in that the Puma mk2 might be the better option.

  43. It was a Swedish designed assault gun on a modified 38t chassi. The 38t (Swe designation Strv m/41) was one of the longest serving tank hulls in the Swedish army.

  50. Riight.... it's surely not because it's been proved since day one in 2014 that Russia deliberately aims every weapon that can reach beyond the active front lines at the most vulnerable civilian targets that doesn't move around... Drop the lies, nazi-botski...🤡💩
