[@Perkelenaattori]

I will admit that I'm saying this as a Finn but the AMOS/NEMO should be first simply because you can fire it accurately from a moving vehicle. It's just that good.

[@opponenspericulo]

But you know it is the plattform SAAB/Bofors/FMV developed since 2000 and Finland and Norway jumped off around 10 yrs later, mounting that design on Patria chassis etc...now, Sweden has the CV90 twin Mjölner mortar, can fire on the move if necessary of course, you do not do that, because why? It takes few seconds to complete halt, and few second to do a burnout and get away. You do not fire mortars waving around among trees and whatnot, it makes the precision so bad regardless so its not worth it.

I like all of these mortar systems. Was a mortar crewman on the M-30, 4.2-inch mortar in the US Army. Sometimes ground mounted. That mortar weighed 672.2 pounds or 345-kg. Was also using the M-106 mortar carrier. That mortar system was back breaking labor. Used old fashioned plotting boards to get aiming data. These mortars have mechanical loaders and computerized firing data for sending mortar shells to the target. No more back breaking labor. Plus, these mortars must be using GPS aiming. Didn't see any aiming stakes being used. Aiming stakes were used as a reference point for proper alignment to target. The new mortars are faster with less crew fatigue. This alone makes a vast improvement over the older mortars.

[@danielbtwd]

I was operational as a gunner in an IFV. 60mm breach loading mortar. Its a highly accurate and versatile weapon. In combat I fired about 250 kgs of ammo. It could also be fired directly.

The Stryker is the best for reasons not listed. It has full digital capabilities, while also having degraded capabilities, more round placement on a self sustained vehicle, it also carries a smaller 81mm so you can send a dismount team. The ease of maintaining the system and the abilities for a simple crew member to get the weapon system back online is why the stryker should be at the top in my opinion.

missing the 2S23 "Nona-SVK and 2S34 Hosta (chosta) both 120mm mortar systems and good systems, and another system worthy of a mention is the 2B9 Vasilek these are normally mounted on MT-LB chassis and comes with anti armour rounds as well, a 82mm automatic mortar with clips of 4x 82mm mortar rounds, they fire off rounds very fast 100-120 rpm, i believe Russia is developing a newer system mounted on various wheeled armoured platforms.

[@visegradi]

These are so fucking old. The Russian systems shown in the video are also super old. AMOS and NEMO should win.

[@DominicTaddei]

@@visegradi but still in use, and should be included. In fact more Soviet systems are still in service than AMOS etc. More modern Russian systems are also in service. Mortars haven't changed much over the years, and adding an extra barrel (AMOS) is hardly a big step forward. The 2B9 vaselisk is an automatic mortar with four round clips including anti armour rounds for direct fire, been around for decades, so yet again a automatic mortar system is new, so the Amos is basically a double barrelled automatic mortar system stuck on top of an armoured vehicle not a massive leap into the future.. Russia could have made that type of system decades ago. But with the addition of Lazer guided mortar rounds (not sure if Amos has them) but the Soviets and Russia have had them for decades means they can drop fewer rounds because they are more accurate. So no need for double barrel system to lay down more fire, also increases weight. You also have to look at export sales of Amos nobody is queuing up to buy it, goes to show you what other militaries think of it. Yet other militaries are still using older systems, why? Because they still get the job done.

Not at all. The turret part of the vehicle is called AMOS while the platform is Patria AMV. AMOS has a range of around 10 kilometres and it has the capability to shoot 10 shells that'll hit the target at the same time (this feature is called MRSI). For some reason the creator decided to put here only it's direct fire range and not the in direct mortar range. Direct fire is only there for self-protection though and not the primary use of the system. AMOS can be mounted on pretty much anything that can carry it.
