Katsotaanpa vahan naita kehityspolkuja,
Jenkkilassa:
The M120/121 Battalion Mortar
System originated from the army’s selection
in 1990 of the Israeli Soltam (now Elbit
Systems) K6 120mm smoothbore mortar
to equip both its heavy and light forces. Niin, siis Sol
tam
- BAE tietysti karppana paikalla: in M121 configuration the muzzle loading
mortar is mounted to fire through the open
hatch of a tracked BAE Systems M1064
mortar carrier which carries 69 rounds
of ammunition.
... 2. sukupolvi:
The Israeli Army is equipped with
the Elbit Systems Soltam CARDOM
(Computerised Autonomous Recoil Rapid
Deployed Outrange Mortar) system which
combines the K6 mortar on a 360 degree
turntable platform with a computerised
fire control system (FCS) .The Soltam
CARDOM system weighs 670 kilogrammes
enabling it to be installed on a wide variety
of vehicles.
...3. sukupolvi:
Elbit Systems publicly unveiled its
Soltam Spear 120mm recoil mortar system
in May 2014. Described
as ‘a second-
generation development’ of the Soltam
CARDOM, the Spear features a soft recoil
system which reduces the recoil force to less
than 10 tonnes compared with the 30 tonne
load of the CARDOM, enabling the weapon
to be fired from lightweight 4x4 vehicles
such as the High Mobility Multipurpose
Wheeled Vehicle
Taman tarkoista sukujuurista ei saa selvaa:
RUAG Defence unveiled its 120mm
Cobra mortar system at IDEX in February
2015. Cobra is a turntable-mounted
120mm smoothbore mortar which can be
integrated in a suitable tracked or wheeled
chassis to fire through the open roof
hatches. The Cobra has been integrated
in an 8x8 Piranha II
... ja eikos vaan, kun tanskalaiset ostivat
uusiin Piranha (V)-vaunuihinsa krh:t, niin
ne ostettiin
Itavallasta, kun paikallisten sossujen
hyvaksynta Tanskan systeemissa (cross-party consensus perus-
hankintaohjelmille) pitaa saada kaikkeen, eika sovi ostaa I-alkuisesta valtiosta.
