Strix Precision Guided 120mm Mortar Launched Weapon

Projectile guidance technology has already been used since 1994 in 120 mm mortars, with the IR homing Bofors/Saab Strix. This weapon can engage targets at a range of 7 km, operates in an autonomous heat-seeking mode which can intelligibly recognize targets and discriminate targets among decoys and burning targets. Strix has been in service with the Swedish Army since 1994 and also has been ordered by the Swiss Army. It is optimized as an anti-armor weapon, defeating targets with top-attack.

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.

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.

@pushitgently001p what is a EFP warhead?
