[mookixox]

God bless those Swedes I would never want to invade their soil...they have some damn scary toys !

[bestamerica]

'

why ussr russia make tooo many waste tanks for,,,

where russia get metals, tanks, weapons comes from

[bestamerica]

siamfd201,

Latvia is a broke country, get some money!

'

ask ussr russia help,,,

dont ever ask america help

[janicewatersteen]

That shell has FAR to many components to be effective. Or I should say effective anywhere other than Sweden. The same can be said for their amazing tank, which outside of Sweden has a sort of platypus feel to it.

[MatteV2]

@janicewatersteen Are you refering to the S Tank? Just so you know, the IDF were interested in buying a few, due to being able to hide even in the sand dunes :p

[Mojo1982]

@siamfd201

So do I, I've fucked a few Latvian whores.

[NWM11Bravo]

ww3 is gonna fucken suck.

[pushitgently001p]

Put EFP warhead instead of HEAT it'll be so scarry

[astrialkil]

@pushitgently001p what is a EFP warhead?

[arasaka2020tm]

@astrialkil

EFP = EXPLOSIVLY FORMED PENETRATOR

Generally its an improvment upon the old HEAT warheads that uses an kinetic penetrator formed by the explosion, instead of the old explosivly formed jet penetrator.

[NinjaChampionKO]

Holy shit....

This type of weaponry makes me wish warfare was still like the middle ages...

[astrialkil]

@NinjaChampionKO soon they will have body heat seeking small arms bullets!

[95predator]

how unnessecairy is that.

but nice to have an AT ammo in a mortar, but if you ask me why not simply shoot a long range atgm

[tvenhola]

@95predator

You don't need a line-of-sight from the mortar, the enemy is not able to shoot back.

Also for Scandinavian terrain, the atgm would need more open space than usually is available. Indirect fire is better for areas with a lot of forest covered areas.

[ScottishPEACEguy]

a car copany that produses mortars?

[lepricoun]

russians have the same in the middle of 80 s lol

[Lachausis]

Too bad Sweden is such a pussy ass state, that allows muslim invaders in.

[ostbagen]

To bad you are a stupid flamer.

[Lachausis]

Look a muslim invader

[Mojo1982]

The Swedes have never been conquered, whereas you Latvians have been sucking Russian cock for 3 centuries, plus 40% of Latvia is Russian! lol

[Lachausis]

@Mojo1982 Look! Another Middle Eastern rat. Learn history, punk, and you'll find out, why it is so that there are commie colonist in my country. And 40% of Latvia is not Russian. Please, don't respond!

[Mojo1982]

Get rid of the Russians if you can you slut, Latvia is a broke shitty little country that's achieved nothing. You tarts where pagans until the 14th century when the German Teutonic Knights civilized you. You are worthless Latvian whore, you are nothing more than debt slaves to Swedish banks. lol Suck Russian dick you Latvian faggot!

[Lachausis]

@Mojo1982 And you don't even live in your own ethnic country, immigrant! So you have no rights or whatsoever to talk rubbish about things you don't understand. Get that welfare check and thank Brits for their hard work!

[Mojo1982]

You are so incredibly DUMB you Latvian whore. I'm English and I work. Go back to sucking Russian cock you pathetic Latvian. PS there are plenty of Latvians here in London, I know a few! lol The Latvians work as cheap labour in construction, and the women whore themselves. Fuck yourself. Latvian lol

[51Sqn41A]

Good question crazyfinn, 60mm is probably too small a round, is short ranged too. If you had to wait till 3kms or so to fire at a tank with mortars then you'd better be accurate!

81mm UK mortars are smoothbore, the MORAT rounds had pop out fins to guide onto target.

Krona, how much is 320, 000 Swed Krons in Euros mate? Costs $35, 000 dollars for a Javelin rocket...sounds cheaper.

[Bodorio]

Strix's are far more effective against a massive tank-attack than a javelin missile.

Due to the range and rate of fire, mostly.

[rolfsteiner1986]

320,000 sek is about € 31,000

[KronaN08]

One strix cost abut 320 000 swedish krons to shoot. and we use 12 strix in 3 days. :) Granatkastar pluton P18 Gotland. 04-05.

[TheCrazyFinn]

Does it make difference between friend and foe?

[Conservativepacheat]

BOFORES IS BADASS

[barnsoldat91]

God bless you and God bless America

[spiceyvideo]

Look on the key pad at 1:13, in the bottom left it says SLUT.

[Fredasmon]

SLUT is the Swedish word for END

[lon9i9]

If the Georgians had this, the russian army would have been in big trouble.

[Breakerchase]

@lon9i9

>believes that the Russian army uses just tanks without combined arms

[Treblaine]

Hmm, does it come in 60mm? a 60mm calibre shaped charge could take out most tanks from a top attack and be great for infantry who want a light, long-range anti-armour weapon.

[Fredasmon]

The only type of STRIX so far is the one for the 120 mm mortar. Worth mentioning is also the fact that the STRIX cannot be fired from a mortar with rifling, which is also the purpose for the US not using this type of weapon (might have changed during the last few years though). Countries using this that I know of is Sweden, Finland and Switzerland.

[Treblaine]

Cheers, still a great system, but I think inevitably this technology with be shrunk to smaller sizes.

I'm sure the standard 60mm, 81mm and 120mm mortars rounds used by USA, UK and NATO are all fin stabilised and therefore smoothbore, right?

[Fredasmon]

I actually don't know if the 81mm mortars used by USA and UK are smoothbore or have rifling, and I don't have any knowledge whatsoever about the 60mm mortar systems, since we don't use them here in Sweden. But just by looking at them externally, there seems to be atleast a few differances, and my guess is that all mortar systems they use have rifling for a slightly better precision. And for what I know, all mortar rounds are fin stabilised, whether the mortar system used have riflings or not.

[shmodzilla]

smoothbore,all of them.

[SymAmineC8H11N]

why would a mortar canon have rifling when the projectile has like litlle fins or fletching already for the aerodynamics?

[Fredasmon]

The rifling gives further stability to the projectile in addition to what the fins provide.

[SymAmineC8H11N]

hmmm... well those rifling groves must look really big & weird. anyways, i was curious 'cause i want to be a gunsmith someday & make replica or something around the 60mm or 81mm range.

[WorthDyingFor15]

it's not Finish it's Swedish...

[HajooSiihen]

New Finnish/Swedish advanced mortar systems can hit 120mm smart-guided mortars, at a range of 20km. One twin barrel AMOS system can hit 14 targets simultaniously, with smart-guided AT or frag rounds(26 rounds/minute!)

Mortars are geographically geart weapons for Sweds and Finns...

[johanonperkele]

STRIX is Swedish.

AMOS is Finnish-Swedish Co-Op.

(weapon is Finnish as the turret is Swedish)

[m52spy]

@johanonperkele

I have a feeling its owned by BAe now.

[51Sqn41A]

US troops have 60, 81 and 120mm mortars in service. Us brits had a 81mm AT round called MORAT...the reason it was binned was if you fired a 3 R FFE from a section of 3 mortars ALL 9 rounds could hit the same tank. Bit of a waste you'll agree. This system if fired on a FFE on the same bearing, charge and elevation could do the same thing...it is self guiding by IR so yes it can be jammed by heat sources AND being autonomous you can't choose which round goes for which tank.

[johanonperkele]

Your respected country does war with a bit different conduct and tactics than ours.

firing 3 Strix style mortats from her majestys tight row yes..

waste indeed.

[Scurck]

This might be a bit of a late answer but STRIX prioritizes targets that look like tanks. Square shapes of a certain size and temperature, if none are found in the target area it hits whatever it can find that gives an IR reading. Like trucks, or cows. =P

Targets that are to hot (burning) are of course low on the list.

So you just need to fire them with a slight delay so they can detect the hits of the previous launches. It's not like the enemy can run away from them. =)

[vetond1]

deployment too slow

[gosciu555]

what is the targeting/aquisition system like? is it IR guided from inside onto a internally chosen target?

[Alex1987swe]

Swedish made, SAAB is Swedish, Bofors is swedish. DoktorDemento called us useless at fightning but we can obviesly build some evil nasty shit. Just because a Samurai don't swing his blade doesn't mean he can't.

in other words, fuck off...

[swedishdude678]

"hey saab made by RUSSIA"?

Saab is swedish, dumbnut...

[DoktorDemento]

Saab is made in Sweden by a bunch of Nato whores...a good projectile in the hands of an army that is completly usless of fighting.

They have a retarded minister of defence and a commander in chief that has a head of a watermelon.

please Swedes..you must be retardet to give 40 billions SKR for this????

[bladeliker]

hey saab made by RUSSIA lol we are screwd if there selling to iran lol

[black33us]

I was and 11c10p airborne infantry indirect fire mortarman in the Army for from 1990-2004 and yes we do use 120, 109, 81, and 60 mm mortars.

[gosciu555]

so mortars are still widely used? what do you guys use them for, like close support indirect fire?

[GeneralCalculus]

@gosciu555 Sorry fo late answer but in finland infrantry company has platoon of three or two 81mm mortars and battallion has mortar company of nine 120mm mortars

[Buzzlybonk]

My guess .. US dont have 120 mm mortar's so they wont get the Strix round

[garganjuhboy]

which is why theres hundreds of videos of US troops using 120 mm mortar rounds...

[Buzzlybonk]

maybe they are the 106 mm used in ww2

[xledhead666x]

fag

[MasterChief22530]

That is some cool tech right there i have eva seen...well i was wondering would the americans buy it? it might be useful for them

[AirsoftLife]

1 believe we use 109mm, not 120

[joxxman]

the americans thought of buying it but didn`t beacaus they of the strix 3 parts.

[diggyj]

I HAVE ONE

[sydneylocks]

Just do what the serbs did, light a bunch of fires in the forest, the result is total waste of IR directed weapons, lol.

[r34lpolitik]

Were the Serbs the guys who managed to shoot down a U.S. F117 stealth fighter with an obsolete Russian guided missile?

[Scurck]

No, they shot it down with a classic Bofors 40mm AAA.

They did it by shooting blindly and the F117 just happened to fly through the flack.

[r34lpolitik]

So... they used an even more obsolete system to take out $4 Billion of American hardware! My tax dollars at work...

[MasterChief22530]

well whatever it is..um what i heard was the serbs use like several missiles or flak? and all of the several shots that are fired missed the F-117 but a stray one manage to explode in front of the aircraft and the aircraft was knocked off from the air...that's y there are remaining pieces of the F-117 on the ground when the investigator go look for it..the aircraft on disintegrated but the pilot survive and later rescue by nato forces.

[Prodius]

Yeah it did real well for them.

[joxxman]

it`s not only ir guided the target have to have the same shape as a tank and it can also seperate a burning tank from a live one

[Sudd88]

Yep, that's what I've heard. It is supposed to be used aboard the SSG 120 as it's called in Sweden, or AMOS as it's called in Finland.

[MasterChief22530]

I wonder can this Strix Precision Guided 120mm Mortar Launched Weapon able to attack moving targets like moving tanks and moving vehicles?

[idiotjaevel]

Ofcourse in the 9min video they shows that..

[RoyalWernie]

Yes

[Puzzoozoo]

They'll be in the shops for Christmas.

[Scurck]

Strix have been in service since 1994.

[ullholm]

insightdubai prolly not as it is made in sweden and sweden is by israel called "the most anti-semetic country in the world" haha israelians and their need to blame other ppl stop killing children and innocent ppl and you might not be so hated.... (sry for my spelling) =)

[niklasbrandin]

öppna inte munnen innan du har något vettigt att säga.

[insightdubai]

nice tech, i hope the jews dont get this as they will use it to murder more palestinian babies.

[wolverinenewbie0007]

I want one

[NDee101]

where can i buy one?

[mor8832]

BOFORS. So .swe
