  • Tophats and monocles yes, you forgot they're drinking cheap champagne from glasses too, as they're driving through forests.

  • Cute.

    

  • Suverän animation. Lika uppfinningsrik som skitvagnen.

  • '

    perfect AMOS can target, hit, destroy ussr russia missile SS-18 rocket with a truck

  • On a side note the mortar can be fitted to a wide range of vehicles. Modified APCs, Light tanks, even boats.

    There's also an even lighter variant of the AMOS (Advanced MOrtar System) that goes under the name of "NEMO" (NEw MOrtar System) - Basically it's a single barrel version of AMOS with the added benefit of being able to be mounted on an even wider scale of existing vehicles due to its light weight. (~1500kg)

    I just hope I never have to see one of these in REAL action...

  • damn that sucker hauls ass!!

  • The man that came into work and said, "double barrel mortar" was a genius. Although imagine if the barrles could be fired independently from eachother, The rate of fire would be doubled. That could create a nice spread of shells in a shorter space of time.

  • @soundslave Shorter space of time? Its not about how fast you shoot, its about when they arrive. Using different flightpaths for the projectiles, this system can fire an automatic barrage of 14 shells which arrive during the same second. Infantry can take cover in seconds, and after that casualties are reduced at least 60%, or more. That would mean firing 2 shots at 100% effectiveness, 2, at 80%, and rest at 40%, while with this its 14 at 100% effectiveness.

  • Damn this shit is fucking BadAss!

  • lol they all land in the same spot at the sae time. if you ask me, thats amazing lol

  • @bigboom273 Its actually impossible unless you could vary the amount of propellant. If using the same amount per round per shot, the ones shot up high would have a smaller angle on its return trip (point A at truck and B at the target and the focal point at its peak) compared to the ones shot closest to the ground, which would have a larger angle and land in the far distance.

    In all, its only true if you can make the mortor propellant vary to compensate for the angle,

  • @Sp33dyD3m0n

    AMOS can. It can achieve MRSI (multiple rounds simultaneous  impact) with 14 rounds up to 13,000m range.

  • @PrinsPrygel Interesting, although simultaneous impact doesnt mean they all land in one area, just at one time. Most likely, if using the animation as our reference, the mortors would land in a line rather than in 1 area. Unless, as I said, you can change the amount of the propellant.

  • @Sp33dyD3m0n

    Actually MRSI means multiple rounds simultaneous impact at a specific target. You can achieve that even if you can not change the charge between each shot. There are at least two trajectories for a same charge shell to a single target, one trajectory above 45 degree elevation and one trajectory. But that is a moot point since AMOS is a breech loaded mortar with the ability to use different charges for each shot.

  • watch?v=ACMcOE_LjMw

  • Gotta love the MRSI

  • Breech loaded mortars are for pussies...It makes a wicked Latte also...

  • Looks way more of a German Howitzer , Artillery Vehicle.

  • @AsianK1D19

    It is a swedish Mortar tank, So almost.

  • @Lennholm89 alright, thanks bro.

  • @Lennholm89 it's Finnish mortar tank.

  • @Leopardipzg

    Check wiki before posting. Fag.

  • @Lennholm89

    Ummm.... Yea, check that wiki. Double check it if you must.

    While the vehicle is indeed a CV90 of swedish design, this particular one (GRKPBV) fitted with the AMOS system, the whole point of the video is showcasing said mortar system - not the vehicle it's mounted on.

    And since you're so keen on pointing people to wikipedia, do a quick search for "AMOS".

    Once you see that it is indeed manufactured by Patria (Finnish company) you might want to, you know, bow your head in shame.

  • The music is a nice touch.

    Such a refined mobile engine of destruction, it is.

  • Reminds me bit like the Mammoth tanks from Red Alert

  • I love the quasi-stealth firing sound, not as loud like a howitzer.

  • You should stand next to one that's firing without hearing protection and re-evaluate your statement.

  • Oh of course, cause i forgot that hearing mortar firing was the reason of my existence...

    No seriously, it's not ''powerloud'' than a howitzer, and less smoking to.

  • It's loud enough for any fire finder system to track it's location. These things are not quiet or anywhere close to stealth. Regardless of smoking if you fired one at night there would be a giant flash too.

  • @rob583 Interesting theory. However if we do a quick calculation we find that should said vehicle fire at a target in maximum range (13 km) it would take the SOUND approximately 40 seconds to reach the target: Less time than it takes for the mortar to unleash a full salvo of 14 rounds MRSI. By the time it could be tracked it would already be moving toward another location. Mobility is the prime means of defense for any vehicle carrying this particular weapon system.

  • @Auschwitch Of course this all pre-supposes that you're fighting a war without air support. A fire-finder system would lock on to the location immediately. The sound would travel faster than the rounds, considering it's in a linear path, while the mortars are in a parabolic one.

    I'm not saying this isn't an awesome system, it is. But the thing is far from stealth, silent, or mobile enough to evade tank-killing air support that is on constant patrol. It's called having realistic expectations.

  • @rob583

    Well most planes are still not stealth/silent enough. So considering that they have to hunt for an APC that has already taken cover, while coming into range for hostile AA-Guns and SAM:s....

    Not to mention all the decoys.

  • Is that... a Panther tank?

    Looks just like it XD

  • no and no

  • Yes and yes :3

    It totally looks like it, from the turret to a slightly flatter hull.

  • Swedish CV-90. The APC later seen is Finnish Sisu Pasi XA-180.

  • I guess i'm talking about the CV-90 then.

  • But they do remind each other a bit.

  • Canada should buy some of these turrets and put them on our LAV III's

  • @EruditeCanadian doubtful that would help. Isn't the lav-3 job to provide cover fire and protection when troop on the ground advance. If it is the case the mortar turret would be consider to close to fire properly.

  • I just mean they should buy the turrets from Patria, and mount them on a LAV III chassis, which are built in Ontario. I like the idea of keeping military hardware manufactured domestically.

    I didn't mean to replace the 25mm turrets on the current LAV III's, more like add another class to our cavalry.

    Cheers

  • AMOS is not ready for service at moment. It still has a quite a lot of "bugs".

  • I like the Idea of a LAV-AMOS, but...OUPS, sorry, I cannot stay!

  • just a double shell at a time... and fire it with intervalls to create some effective barrage... owesome!

  • This is a great example what we get when we combine our engineering:D We finns and swes should do this much more often in order to develope some awesome inventions. Since we both do develope some of the finest weapon technology in the whole world. Put aside the fact that Amos was joint finn-swe project, in a chasis of swedish CV-90 it is well suited for stationary artillery, in chasis of finnish Patria AMV it fits for role of rapid-moving assault artillery. Seriously we should do this more often

  • how can i get one of these... i want it for moose hunting!!! ;)

  • because otherwise thei collide in the air and dont reach their target

  • why the staggered firing?

  • otherwise they pressurewave from the projectiles would interfer with each other. IE They will be imprecise.

  • Älskar musiken lol!

  • Amos är ett samnordiskt projekt mellan Svergie, Finland, Danmark och Norge. Men Norge och Danmark drogs sig ur och då drevs utvecklingen av Försvarets materielverk (FMV) i Sverige och Defence Forces Material Command i Finland.

    Leverantör av systemet är det finsk/svenska företaget Patria Hägglunds

  • HOLY SHIT can that thing every move eh

  • Oh dear, that chamber orchester playing while the cute little vehicle roams around the forest spreading death and decay.

  • @exicci Doesn't fit do it

  • Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact.MRSI.

    PzH2000 employs this algorithm too.

  • A howitzer can perform MRSI by regulating propellant, but what about a motar? What did it change to perform MRSI? The distance travelled by the shell is different for different angles with same charge.

  • The same way as a howitzer, you regulate the propellant, I saw a film a while back where they put some sort of extra "discs" on the fin of the round that was supposedly extra propellant, similar to a basebleed addon I'd guess but with a different method of enhancement.

  • read first...

  • we call them cheetos b/c theyre are shapued similar to a cheeto. just clip it on near the fin and viola extra charge.

  • Regulating the propellant is possible on mortars as well.

  • If someone cen tell me what is the real difference between an Self-proppeled Mortar and SP-Howitzer Gun ? The mecanism and the bullet?

  • A mortar fires in High-degree arcs while a Howitzer is fired in low degree arcs, a howitzer generally has a longer range as well

  • This is a neat little shoot and scoot 120mm mortar system. Great idea.

  • Could someone can tell me if this Patria vechile could beat up russian tanks?

  • Yes!

  • Hoho I have seen and been inside the final version (only 1 in total though) and we used it in live firedrills, calling in mortarfire. Awesome

  • When I was at a demonstration in Kvarn last year I was shown how the loading mechanism worked, but it looked different in that one, more robust (a bit russian!). Then again it was a prototype version of the GRKPBV90120 (the IFV version). Am I ust remembering incorrectly or are there different versions? Anyone know?

    Seeing this fire strix was awesome to say the least.

  • the delay is simply to prevent the two rounds from colliding in midflight. naval gun batterries use the same technique.

  • One of the reasons behind the delay might be to reduce the recoil by distributing it time wise.

  • what delay?

  • The delay between the two cartridges. The second one is a millisecond or so after the first one.

  • ... a must have element for a rapidly advancing mechanized infantry battalion. I agree with the previous post, the feeding mechanism looks easy to break.

  • mikgazine, ur missing one important point, ITS NOT A TANK. Its a mobile mortar system installed on an APC or IFV shell. My definition of a "tank" is main battle tank, such as the Leopard 2A6 or Abrams.

    Mortar dont rely on precision but in area effect. Thus makes it possible to have 2 or more cannons for higher fire rate.

  • hmm.. can anybody tell why both guns arent fired at the same time, but with a bit delay between them?

  • IF they are made to fire at the same time, It might create a certain friction since they are close to each other and weakens the precision of the missile.

  • okay thanks

  • "The Swedes are long, strong, flexible, able to endure the hard work, hunger and distress. They are born warriors full of pride." Francois Voltaire in 1713

  • And now Sweden is being taken over from the inside and not many Swedes even resist it.

  • What is happening in Sweden?

  • Suomalaista kalustoa!

  • Patria Hägglunds ar 50-50 Svenskt och finskt.

    Taken directly from their website:

    Patria Hägglunds Oy is a subsidiary of the Finnish Patria (50%) and the BAE Systems Hägglunds from Sweden (former name Land Systems Hägglunds).

    So as you can see it is 50-50%.

  • This is not a tank with two guns. This is a small tank with the AMOS mounted. It comes fore several different vehicles, like small ships... The animation at the end is self explained imho.

  • love the music.. tra. la. lar.. here comes the rain of death and mutilation

  • If you read history it's not all that surprising. Sweden has always had this buffer called Finland between it and the wars. That's how the term Hakkapeliitta was born. Finns were treated as expendable fighters, it is ironic that russians almost treated us better before the wars.

  • sverige e bässsst!! USA kan inte göra vapen , sverige sålde ju vapen till usa när dom invaderade Irak

  • se vad lilla sverige kan göra... utveckla stridsflyg, pansarvagnar, granatkastare och Granatgevär... nåt som knappt USA klarar av.

  • Holy .... that is so fast compared to old school style..

  • patria is still doing those things and they do work just fine

  • it's the seige tank from starcraft!!

  • så här bra blir resultatet när finnar å svenskar samarbetar

  • Great . . . not 1 one but 2. Now do it with 4!

  • how many crew man do they need ????

  • i think 3 but im not sure...

  • 3 like the regular CV90 i think not 100% sure

  • amos system patria finland!

  • The veapon alone is not the hot, but the computer managing fires. In Finland it can shoot many projectiles into same target area - and thay hit the same time. And the moving vehicle can shoot a moving target are i.e. another movin vehicle. And that is something.

  • This might be useful in a recce battalion or something along that lines but as just a mortar it would be an incredible waste of resources, money and time. The loading system also appears somewhat "delicate" IMO.

  • well two of these roughly equals on artillery battery at fire power. Which is easier to move these or heavy guns? :)

  • Who knew killing people could be so classy?

  • @gnigged68 I was half expecting the crew to wearing top hats and monocals

  • love the elevator music in background

  • its sweet :)

  • Time on target är bara en form av konfirmation för Artilleriobservatörerna från beräknings/kontrollstationen så att de inte missar nedslagen och kan korrigera. De får en nedräkning 5-10 sekunder innan granaterna slår ner. Det har inte med huruvida de kan skjuta flera skott på samma mål innom en viss tid att göra.

  • My Swedish ain't that good, I only partly undestood your message, but yes, time on target has nothing to do with this. However, the AMOS has the MRSI-ability, "Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact" - it can shoot up to 14 rounds so that they hit the target at the same time, with first shots using higher and and more propellant, and the others a lower arc and less propellant. All the calculation is done by the computer of course.

  • sorry, just thought you were swedish. What I said was that ToT is a form of confirmation for the ART-Observers from the Commandstation/Computationsekt­ion/whatever you wish to call it. so that the Observers won't miss the splash when they are supposed to be correcting the fire.

  • Oops...I see now that it wasn't even a post from you I answered to begin with.

  • USA needs lots of these

  • no it doesn't no more weapons for the US please.

  • Actually USA has bought license production to this system and their army is going to introduce it in active service in close future

  • cool mortar

  • Very nice, particularly in the tracked application. rapid response smart auto mortar systems like this are the way to go for future quick response armored forces.

  • at 2:05 if any one is thinking that he's shooting different areas then you are wrong it a little trick that few s.p.a can do they fire change angle do some thing i don't know and repeat and there all your rounds hit almost simultaneously at the target area

  • you also need to modulate the power of the propeller, wonder how they do that.

  • maybe they can vent the expanding gases to increases or decrees the range

  • I though of that too, as well as somehow modulating the primer electronically to change the strength of the propellant but the answer is a lot simpler.

    The propellant and the shells are separate. They have 7 different strengths of propellant, and for every strengths of propellant there are two trajectories to the same target, hence 14 MRSI

  • Are you sure there are 7 different strenghts? It seems 4 would be enough. 1 center, 3 above and 3 below. I get that impression also from reading wiki about MRSI.

  • that is awesome dude! wicked bad!

  • wow very impressive!

  • bad place to be under that mortar shower

  • Not bad!

  • sweet i want one!
