Same! /Swedish mortar man on 12cm m/41 designed by Tampella *corrected

@hullutsuhna it's a great and reliable piece of engineering, in Sweden they were transfered to service with the Home guard when the regular mechanised brigades were uparmed with the Mjölner CV90120SPPM (Self Propelled Protected Mortar)

And the Swedish army has that part of resupply logistics down to a T since the late 1950ies with the Bandkanon 1. Essentially, there are two firing units and two 4x4 high mobility 30ton ammo trucks to each battery. All four elements leapfrog their own category in a pattern that intersects the other category so that there is always one firing unit deployed to fire and one ammo truck deployed on stand by to top up the moving firing unit somewhere en route to it's next firing position while the other ammo truck is in motion to stock up it's ammo and consumables supply and proceed to the next resupply point in the chain. The actual points are randomized within a fairly large battery zone. Swedish heavy mortar units operate on the same principle on a smaller scale regardless if towed or CV90 mounted.

@jesseywater3446 at least you don't need to worry about thermal sights XD

@julianscaeva4334 and then there was the brief Russian occupation of Gotland during the Crimean war in the 19th century by an admiral Bodiscu.
7
And the rest is burning...
7
Bullshit

@_Matsimus_ you just want to get your hands on a brand new CV90120C AMOS, don't deny it😉

@tomhenry897 and extend tent entrances into a light sluice.

The 40mm is only used by the Swedish armed forces, and that's because we had hundreds, almost thousands of towed Bofors 40mm/L70 AA guns and thousands of tons of HE ammo in cold war mobilization storage in the 1980ies, AA guns that were hopelessly obsolete in that configuration. But with a new APFSDS round capable of punching though the front armor of a T-55 and the side of everything else, they would do as IFV cannons and eliminate the need for ATGMs, allowing more troop transport capacity instead.

I liked the video, especially the interior footage from different tanks. Would be even more informative if you could add a small info label with the tank designation the first time each type is shown. I only recognised the Leo2 S interior myself from recognising the unique Swedish bdu-fractal pattern.
6
Well... you aren't completely wrong, the defensive sisu of our eastern brothers can not be overestimated.
6
An Archer would only get stuck where a tracked vehicle would get stuck too...
6
Best shoulder fired cannon ever XD
6
Swedish army regulation requires ear plugs and cups within 100m of this and any other AT or heavy support weapon
6
That's what would have stopped the soviet tanks in Sweden if the cold war had gone hot, only many of the overwatch positions would have been filled with self dug in S-tanks with local bushes interleaved as cammo with their, at the time top secret, anti-HEAT fence armor. In the last two decades of the cold war the trees would conceal dozens of Stridsvagnsmina 6, a magnetic and tamper triggered HEAT mine with an integrated clearing charge to first remove any concealment that would impair the penetration of the shaped charge going up into the belly armor of an AFV.
6
To stay alliance free and unopressed less than 100 miles from Moscow brought certain requirements on defensive capacity during the cold war and again today with Putin's totalitarian ambitions. Such as keeping a 1/8th of the total civilian population pre-trained and ready for mobilization with stockpiled stores of everything the country and the army needs in both equipment, food, fuel and raw materials for at least a year of expected rationing and isolation.
6
If it only just clears the tube, the dud would be harmless as the fuse won't have recived the nessesary acceleration impulse to even start the arming process.
6
I almost feel sorry for the troop leader at 0:23 Not a single soldier in step or tempo and every one looking at eachother instead of him when trying to correct themselves... Hell, even my grade school class marched lock step better than that during brass band practice, and we were just 7years old, these guys are adults ffs XD
6
Well, thing is, shells and especially fuses, has a best used before date. And that means stores has to be cycled.
6
@FancyPantsOnFire can't take a joke?
6
The thing with mortars though is that they have better effect on targets in light-medium cover/field fortifications than howitzers. Both is needed.
6
It is, the licence plate is Swedish army pattern too, and from the hull front to the French GIAT smoke launchers on the rear of the turret it's definitely a Strv 122 and not a German Leo2A6. Besides, the washing facility looks identical to the one at P7 Revingehed...
6
It turns out the RBS-70 is very good at Alligator hunting, especially the Muskovite kind😂
6
If it's in late spring next year, I might end up in the same exercise, if not, have fun!

Слава Муравьев putin can take his fascist autocratic ambitions and shove them where the sun never shines using a dry cactus, and so can you.
6
@Substance2020 riight... no. The CV90 has good enough thermals to spot drones before they become a serious threat, and while the guns of the IFV variants will have a bit more complicated job aiming against air targets, it'd still be relatively easy to shoot a drone out of the sky. And if that isn't enough, the Swedish CV90 battalions also come with a number of the CV9040 SPAAG version, essentially a CIWS radar guiding a tripple axis stabilised Bofors 40mm/L70 with -10°–+89° elevation and programmable proximity fused ammunition.
6
While probably correct, you are also acidic enough for your sweat to dissolve gold at room temperature XD
6
Also, mortar shells are relatively slow projectiles and can easily be tracked with a naked eye if you know exactly where to look.
6
The visible fireball of an explosion is inversely proportional to the damage potential of a conventional shell. Movie explosions are spectacular using gasoline, propane and flour with low power civilian explosives to give a big fireball that doesn't endanger the film crew or stunt actors. A 155mm shell weighs around 40-50kg with enough high explosives to turn a two floor brick building into so much rubble in less than a second. Also, modern fuses commonly detonates shells up to 8m above ground to shower the ground in a cone of fragments and shrapnel to reach entrenched troops. They can alternatively be set to detonate milliseconds after impact to get at troops inside fortified buildings. A modern howitzer also fire that shell up to 50km. WW1 artillery rarely fired over 8km
6
@13thSystem the HEAT rounds of the 90mm gun of the Swedish Ikv 91 is also capable of knocking out anything less armored than a T-72 or Chieftain tank.
6
@EP-bb1rm that's the original weight when the first version entered service in the 1990ies, yes, and how is that relevant on a platform that's been continuously upgraded in all aspects with the mk4 export version weighing in at 37tonnes with a significantly more powerful drivetrain with no reduction in ground clearance, obstacle handling, crew comfort or speed. You are acting dishonest and full of shit, trying to shift the goal posts, using strawman rhetoric and trying to use circular arguments while contradicting yourself.
6
Nah, frag vests are not plate carriers, frag/flak vests are soft kevlar armor designed to stop shrapnel, shards from spalling, and to some extent secondary impacts from small arms fire. (Eg the remains of a tumbling bullet that's already dumped most of it's energy into a 12" tree trunk or ricocheted off of a hard surface in pieces.
6
@maxmauser2613 we will soon see if any are included in the CV90 support package of 50 non specified CV90 vehicles.
6
@arx3516 no. Nukes are the worst, and your arguments only expose you as a moron. 1) They are indiscriminate. 2) They contaminate. 3) They have too high yield to focus on anything smaller than a city district and is thus wasteful.
6
Yes, the vehicle itself also has several different geolocation systems and a ballistics computer hooked up to a radio data link. Any Strv122 or CV90 or infantry FO or other Swedish front line asset with a radio and a data text terminal or computer or tablet hooked in to the network can send a pre formatted firemission request, that, if correctly authorised and filled in, will be automatically processed by the ballistics computer and the firing sollution saved and updated once the Mjölner comes to a full stop. The operator can then level and aim the piece at the push of a button while the loaders prep the ammo, loads and operator fires as specified in the firemission. At mission complete, press button to stow the barrels in travel position and drive off before enemy counter battery assets even has time to load.

Trailer? There's no trailer in the video it's a hydraulic waist steered vehicle and all four tracks are powered.

@Ghost not in 30mm APDU

@MrLapidary the basic design is actually simplicity itself, far simpler than any BILLY, IVAR or RÅSKOG. The hard part is getting the barrel strong enough and machining the venturi release latch/case ejector. The rest is just metal tubes, rods a couple of springs and a couple of levers and sears.
5
FH-77 is a lot better though, in both towed and wheeled SPG version.
5
@kalle5548 yup, that's the generic term for the passenger compartment of all Swedish army offroad vehicles. It's use started with the Pbv 302
5
Most of it is marketing videos

*Manual: for Mongs who are expendable against enemies with Artillery locating radar systems... Set-up time is irrelevant, tear-down times are the difference between a life after service and red mist hovering over "empty" boots...
5
@kurt5490 the archer really doesn't need roads though. It's got an articulated (hydraulic pistons between cab and gun mount) all wheel drive chassi that can traverse ground that's too uneven for most tracked vehicles.
5
@mrd7067 Bofors.

@mastathrash5609 tbh, Singapore has extreme levels of economic inequality, and most of the people at the top and even more so those in the middle who delude themselves to be on top in that socioeconomic pyramid, is more likely to presume everyone, especially anyone in a uniform or working clothes, is lesser than them and obliged to be subservient and deferent at all times...🤮
5
Kickyour it can fire straight
5
My favourite version of this concept would be a fully automated semi-autonomous re-iteration of the Strv 103 upgraded with a 140mm main gun and bouoyancy tanks (for suspending the vehicle at ~1.5m below surface) instead of the DD-style floatation screens that broke the surface.
5
Having fun by beeing weird in public takes serious dedication and training, only the elite of the elite can retain their dignity by beeing themselves ;)
5
Or just go with the Lvkv 9040C, same ammo in a radar/IR guided stabilised tried and tested 40mm/L70 package on a CV90 chassi and turret.
