  1. deadfishbrohoof It's only nice until it fills up your lungs and prevent you from taking in air as the laughing gas is heavier...

  2. ROFLMAO you got away with that from the brass/training administration?

  3.  @danielburgess7785  umm... that's one single conflict, and one where you can hardly claim that the French had any way of preparing for or to win at all due to the logistics involved.

  10. Sounds like you need a bigger tree to fit that gift wrapped Grande Batterie... A Redwood might be the the right size... ;)

  11. One "green" country is Sweden, with more than 800'000 local variant G3 rifles alone produced under licence during the cold war and more than 50k of those still in used with second line armed forces along with limited numbers of MG3s(as anti personel weapons on Leo2) Mp5s, G36s and 416s in service with police and special forces. I bet Finland is too.

  12. To be fair, they had to be upgraded with an air conditioning unit to be viable in Afghanistan and Liberia.

  13.  @kschleic9053  it's possible with the old towed Swedish m/41 mortars, but you only get one salvo plus 3 rounds/piece and then wrap it all up and GTFO, leaving the aiming stakes on site to get away far enough that any stray shrapnel would get stopped by fibreglass or mild steel vehicle sides, non critical parts of the vehicles and the crew kevlar flak vests and helmets...

  14.  @Inkkari9  The Swedish armed forces are also mainly conscripts again since the conscript system was reactivated in 2014. But yes, the shorter distances, higher quantity of lakes and bogs, lack of mountains as well as a much more numbers focused conscript system naturally results in a different priority in how and with what equipment your armed forces need in the plan to fight any given hypothetical scenario. The Swedish armed forces was numerically (manpower) and to some extent materially dismembered by alternating laisses faire capitalist and psychologically corrupted social democratic minority governments budget decimations between 1992 and 2014. When the politicians were finally forced to understand the gravity of their predecessors foolishness, the damage was already done, and the fastest way to start rebuilding to a minimal acceptable defense capability was to go all in for advanced mechanisation with the regular forces and to transform the Home Guard militia to a motorised national defense quick reaction force very different from the static 'old mens club' local defense militia with second hand equipment it used to be in the cold war.

  15. It's lighter on logistics during peace time and adds versatility during deployment. A number of non desintegrating belts are commonly issued with the gun to be refilled in the field when only non-belted ammo is availiable. It made even more sense when the MG3 was introduced as the Bundeswehr at that time used the H&K G3 as it's standard infantry rifle, which meant every single soldier used 7.62x51 NATO. Also, the non-desintegrating belts were readily availiable feom WW2 stockpiles as they are essentially MG34/42 belts modified to replace the starter tab and end link with matching modular connector links that allow an infinite number of 49-round belts to be combined using an added 50th round to lock the connector links together, automatically separating the belts as that round is chambered during firing.

  16. INCOMING! ;)

  17. Yup, and when that moment wears off, a good loader is closing the breech on the next round assuming the gunner has reset the firing mechanism immediately as he felt the trigger sear release. The breech won't open on an uncocked mechanism.

  18. ​ @zhufortheimpaler4041  how would a missile following the outgoing beam of the launcher get disrupted by a dazzler if the dazzler isn't aimed at the launcher operator?
    2
  19. I'd say drop it to 1 year minimum armed servivce OR 2 year civilian emergency services (not police) as an option for people who don't want to use weapons. Also, a bypass for people with disabilities who can't meet the physical requirements. (Obesity doesn't count as disability in this case)
    2
  20.  @Lonewolfmike  yup, but it never entered serial production despite beeing pretty much complete to specs as the Swedish government pulled out of the project and left the Finns high and dry... Only to rush and implement Mjölner, a simpler, similiar dual tube protected mortar system about a decade and a half later.

  21.  @STARGUN8687  dude, what do you mean with "not safe to use against powerful foe"? http s: // youtu. be/ lhd1d2sW_3I

  22. ​ @baraka629  not when it comes to single use ammo packaging... It weighs too much, it's too spacious and it's harder to strap down on a pallet... but then again, the moskovites don't use cargo pallets for military logistics...🤣

  23. ​​ @assassinlexx1993  by the time counter battery radar can pinpoint the location and start sending it to an enemy artillery unit, a NEMO system on a vehicle chassi is already hundreds of meters away from that location even at low crosscountry speeds... By the time any counter battery shells arrive at the old firing position, the NEMO is a couple of km away and firing again, while a friendly counter battery radar is tracking the enemy counter battery fire aimed at the old firing position and passing it on to a long ranged 155mm howitzer system such as ARCHER, CAESAR, Paladin or PzH2000 or an even longer ranged HIMARS or the oldrr tracked US designed MLRS to send some counter-counter-battery fire in return. And soviet designed artillery systems has neither the redeployment or road speed or armor protection or command structure flexibility to avoid destruction by the counter-counter battery fire, or the range to even try to hit the western long range systems.

  24. #2 is the default in the Swedish army manual
    2
  25.  @puggleski6097  not as high maintenance costs as you seem to think as all the parts that gets worn bu driving is mass produced for the civilian market for the mining and logging industries world wide. The wheeled chassi is basically built on the T-ford equivalent of modular civilian all terrain industrial vehicles
    2
  26. Umm... what do you think the default ammo of a mortar is? Hint: The most common mortar round in Swedish ammo stockpiles is a Tripple mode airburst/impact/delayed fuse 120mm HEFRAG round, in Finnish stockpiles, I suspect it's the second most common, with the most common beeing old 1950ies HEFRAG with impact fuse and optional fuse extension rod unless those old shells are all sent as aid to Ukraine by now.

  27. At least when paired with a short-mid range AA/AD system.

  28. What castle? ;)

  29. Tiger 131 that's why you never send tanks into cities or valleys or woods without an infantry screen. Also, while these things are scary to you in the tank, they need to get within a couple of km from you to be a threat, without your tank's armour, all it takes is a single guy with a map, a binoc, decent range estimate skills and a cell phone to spot any member of your unit to mark your arse for a heavy artillery strike 90-120 seconds later...

  30.  @torperator1555  The AT4s have similiar 20mm and 9mm mass training versions in Swedish service as well as a laser marker version for double sided exercises. All three training versions has some kind of back blast simulation explosives availiable in blue plastic casings. Most Swedish conscripts in only ever see a single battle loaded AT4 fired for effect display purposes during their 7.5-15 month long training.
    2
  31. Usually 9, in three disposable plastic quivers of three shells each, two strapped to a backpack frame and one carried. Number of shells/type is mission and availiability dependant.

  32. Because it is...

  33. 😂🤡

  34. That's how you have to move through a suspected anti-personell minefield. The track ruts are clear, the sides and centre are not.

  35. Time to elevate the Bofors guns to max...
    2
  36. Because drones and their controller has to have a radio transciever which can be triangulated and pinpointed in minutes by modern computerized RDF systems. The only reason Ukranian drone operators isn't taken out more frequently is that Russian artillery has both atrocious accuracy and equally atrocious response times due to their extremely authoritarian and inflexible command structure.

  37. What I don't understand is why they chose the 40×311R round that was already too weak to reach the ground engagement altitude of early jets and then reduced it's volume for propellant further instead of going for the improved 40×364R round and just necking it down to 37mm, or whatever shell caliber they wanted.

  38.  @nalusafalaya  these 12cm mortars go out to 6-10km depending on the ammo, the STRIX anti tank round has been around since 1994. In it's final attack stage, it is guided by fold out fins and a ring of perpendicular single use solid fuel rockets, fired off by the onboard computer to hit a valid targets thermal profile. Target priority list is programmed just before loading by connecting the munition to the ballistics computer of the firing unit via the mortar squad leaders display terminal. They can hit moving targets and they can prioritize between tanks, IFVs and other armored vehicles like AA, howitzers etc.
    2
  39.  @benktlofgren4710  the STRIX rounds my unit fired from towed mortars in 2003 were not GPS assisted, only thermal profile seeking. That said, SAAB defence and Bofors has never been companies lazily resting on past successes, so it can very well have been upgraded since.

  40. One quality doesn't preclude another 😉🤣

  41.  @TrangleC  more likely, the Belgian artillery doesn't have the space for an artillery range within Belgian borders so they have to borrow German training grounds.

  42.  @privetkillzs  dude, you need an M4 crocodile to reach them...

  43. 50rnds a minute when shooting to actually hit something still sounds a bit slow
    2
  44. Nah, we tried that in both the 10th and 17th centuries, it was too much of a bother.

  45. The advantage of a gas operated MG, it can be set to fire as fast or slow as you need it to.
    2
  46. ​​ @lepepelepub12  yup, the combat basics like topping up a mag or handling a personal or squad support weapon or rummaging for a snack in your combat pack needs to be trained into a non visual habit.

  47. Not really, under the armor, it's a stretched variant of a mass produced civilian volvo mining dumper truck, most spare parts are interchangeable and availiable all over the world.
    2
  48. There's more money to be recouped from cutting top "earner" and corporate tax deductions and subsidies to other parasites that doesn't even need it.

  49. Yeah, the postage bag is a standard PostNord bag.

  50.  @pavolp.6527  you started it, knowing full well that the Syrian army is only fractionally less criminal than IS...
