@SturmFuhrerBeppo Bofors is swedish but "a part" of BAE Systems...

[daniel931016]

too bad the project was cancelled

[asawakobaliw]

@daniel931016 why?????

[daniel931016]

@asawakobaliw the project was cancelled because the order from the swedish armed forces was cancelled. without anyone buying it there was no point continuing with the project and waste money on it.

The swedish armed forces bought instead a already developed vehicle from a finnish company... too bad actually because the finnish vehicle wasn't that good as this was going to be :(

@daniel931016 too bad..just like a simba..

[daniel931016]

@asawakobaliw yeah, regarding to this project they could have asked if some other country/countries were interested so they could continue but they didn't bother to ask. :/

the same was about to happen with the Archer-project when Denmark jumped off. It was too expensive for sweden to hold alone so they asked norway and they agreed. as thanks to Norway they mounted a norwegian machine gun on it :P
