  1. When you are in an IFV in concert with Strv 122s (Leo2A6 equivalent with the L44 gun) Concelement is only what you do until the enemy is so far in the open that they can't retreat even if they try.

  2.  @curtist919  there is only one delta worth admiring in my book, and it's not gen4. It's a gen2.5-gen3 interceptor: The SAAB J/A37 <3 Mainly because one of my uncles flew it during the cold war and the roar of it's fly overs of my home town several times a week when I grew up has become a comforting sound of reassured independence :)

  5. Mister Chief then you're looking in the wrong place.

  6.  @thrash208  not really, about a foot down, sand is usually moist enough to stay put until you get support materials to make it safe.

  7. The Leo2 also has a rear view camera afaik.

  10. ​ @kiereluurs1243  and mortars denying the enemy use of vertical cover in the target zone due to the angle of incoming shells.

  11.  @00yiggdrasill00  both, every soldier has the same infantry basic training for organised self defense, but specialist assets like artillery, air defense, Electronic warfare etc, need escorting troops to create local safe zones, and artillery needs to move around, often. You can only send one firemission per battery site or you'll get located and counter batteried to mince meat by anything the opfor can find to throw at you. Even if they have to sacrifice a full mechanized company or even risk loosing an attack helicopter to eliminate a single mortar platoon, they will throw those assets away in a heartbeat without remorse. Mortars in urban combat is that dangerous and versatile. Especially 12+cm mortars that can set FRAG fuses to airburst, contact or delayed, smoke and starshells can also be set to ignite well after they are intended to, so that they fill a house with smoke or set it on fire instead of smoking off a street or turning a dark city sector into eerie daylight with long, fast moving shadows. And then there's heat seeking top hitting anti tank shells, and I'm pretty sure the russians have mortar deployed anti personell landmines...

  12. It's mostly just cramped and noisy as fuck, and the electromechanic parts of the turret MG means it basically turns into a belt fed bolt action rifle if dismounted from the turret without the replacement parts to turn it into an invantry version PKM.

  13. The Ardennes didn't stop the German tanks because the French and Allied high command assumed the Germans wouldn't even try, so they never deployed assets to conduct this kind of blocking/delaying actions and thus allowed the German forces to use the existing network of small roads and logging trails unhindered.

  14. What twins?

  15. Easily, it can even program the anti tank rounds to choose the T-90 over the T-72 or the BMP3 beside it.

  16. Nah, they were called in for the base level hard work, including setting off and monitoring the controlled burn, because the cargo that was burned off turns into fosgen gas when ignited, and CBRN teams are the only ones with the gear and training to operate and decontaminate those kind of environments. (Fosgen was one of the worst chemical weapons used in WW1, it acts similiar to mustard gas, but far worse over time as it binds and biochemically interacts with our metabolism and at far lower doses of exposure where mustard gas primarily harm by corrosion.

  17. A phlyer perhaps?

  18. As Ukr farmers showed, a tank without fuel isn't a traffic accident, it's free real estate! YOINK! 🤣 And it's always cheaper than an AFV plus crew.
    2
  19. Indeed, and every good craftsman carries a tool box and/or tool belt instead of just a multitool for that very reason😁

  20.  @hishot1078  have you seen the Swedish terrain the archer and it's civilian chassi was built for that is considdered difficoult/dangerous even for a Leopard2?
    2
  21. Actually Mat, that's NOT a German tank wash, or a German tank. It's a Swedish tank wash and a Swedish Strv122 variant of the Leo2 manufactured under licence. The cammo, the hull armor, the French Giat smoke launchers instead of the German ones, the licence plate in black with yellow digits and the distinct lack of NATO standard vehicle markings along with the fact that I frequent that very washing facility a couple of times a year with my home guard unit XD (unless some other regiment has built an identical facility too)
    2
  22. No, just timed fuses, higher rate of fire than similiar caliber AA guns and a very high projectile velocity resulting in longer range, flatter trajectory and shorter lead requirement making it easier to hit a fast flying (prop driven) target

  23.  @oditeomnes  it only reflects on the politics, not the quality of the systems.
    2
  24. Doesn't Tamya and Academy usually have R/C upgrades for their 1:35 and bigger kits?
    2
  25. They are equivalent, crew skills make the most of the difference.

  26. ​ @jakegrube9477  I'd say people, government, military and judiciary should never have reason to fear eachother, as all three should be limbs of the same caleidoscopic entity, with the military as the skin, the government as the skeleton, ligaments and nerves, the judiciary as the immune system and the people as the other organs and muscles.

  27. And you lucky bastards never had to beat 60sec scooting deadlines after each firemission in case the other side had artillery locating radar systems, right?
    2
  28. Wouldn't really hurt at all, it's more of a logistics (sponge and bucket style) and paperwork issue for your CO...🙃
    2
  29. I'd say let the first crew to score top grades with a tank name it, then keep a separate honour roll plaque with the tank for each task category where each crew that qualifies get to put their names and with each anual re-qualification that they maintain the excellent standard, they add the requalification year to their names.

  30.  @spartanx9293  then what makes it so inferior? What is your benchmark criteria? And what is the competing vehicle(s) you see meeting those criteria here and now without modification or development from their current state? As for if/which of the other variants availiable would be desirable, that would be a doctrinal decision I can't speculate on due to insufficient knowledge. But from a logistical standpoint, it's very sensible to use the same platform for as many nessesary vehicles as possible in each respective weight class just for parts intergangeability, ease of maintenance, ease of supply and ease of training. Eg, when an IFV breaks down or is damaged, it's going to be a lot less of a logistics load if the mechanics doesn't have to have 5 different spare parts kits for similiar vehicles of different chassi in a single mechanised company. As in, each mechanised company in a Swedish mech inf formation comes with a number of IFVs, FOV, FCV and ARV, all on the CV90 chassi, increasing the margins between full strength and strategically defunct as the crews and vehicles and spare parts are almost completely interchangeable without retraining.

  31. ​ @Kastev30  except for the civilians who has to live around it for the next few centuries...

  32. seems like the name, the tracks and the barrel are the only conventional parts left in the vehicle ;)

  33. Spent 10 months of conscript training in the battery control squad of a 12cm mortar platoon back in 03-04, not in any commonwealth forces.
    2
  34. No, it's a completely Swedish redesign of the Pz38t chassi from it's light tank configuration as bought directly from the Czhecks before ww2 but the shipment got intercepted by the nazis as they invaded.

  35.  @wifi_soldier5076  I would presume it's more about French political protectionism and insistance on always beeing project leader in any multinational defence project and going their own way if denied that role. This has resulted in a general international ignorance regarding most of the advanced French equipment. Also, while the French equipment is undeniably among the top five countries of the world in quality, most of it is so distinctly optimised for French requirements in tactics, terrain and logistics that it's not always possible to adapt to a different countrys needs. Swedish domestically designed equipment used to have the exact same issues during the 20th century for similiar practical reasons. Eg: Strv 103, SAAB 35&37 and the Bandkanon 1

  36.  @YugoslavGamer  check the images of the M60A2 Patton "Starship" it's basically an identical turret with a longer gun. The M60A2 had an unmanned turret with a 155mm gun/launcher

  37. The original is the rounded intake and the super is the rectangular?

  38. Self deploying light pontoon bridge element, if equipped with ducted props, anchor and flotation modules?

  39.  @Kareszkoma  so your source is your arse then...

  40. Why do you think the container wouldn't have a CIWS/SPAAG within shouting distance?🤦🏼‍♂️

  41.  @White_Poppy  understandable, in European conscription based armies it's fairly common though.
    2
  42. Yup, a very well made copy of concept

  43.  @Draugh39  on the other hand, it used single piece ammunition with a fixed max range of only 25km

  44. sounds like you would have been better served by driving a number of offroad trikes or quad bikes than a humvee

  45. Sweden decomissioned all lesser than 12cm mortars in the late 1990ies

  46. At a open to the public event at a nearby airbase, I was walking towards my car when I ended up directly below the vertical point as a visiting Swizz F/A 18 did a loop about 2000ft above me... My whole body screamed at me to dive for cover XD

  47. You know where the door is... XD

  48.  master mariner  afaik, they don't use the same gun. The Archer uses guns of the self deploying towed Bofors FH77. Not the US m777 howitzer as erroneously stated in the video.

  49.  @Pyrochemik007  no it doesn't

  50. APS and mobility makes that a very marginal risk.
