Sweden Will have 72 Archers. 88 Mjölners. New HIMARS are also being bought.

[@Alex-oc2vi]

Some corrections here, the latest Mjölner order has nothing to with the Archer going to Ukraine(and the UK), it's been in the plans for a while, this is an asset for the armoured brigades, there will be 80 of these mortar vehicles including this latest order. The Archers are getting replaced by new ones recently ordered + additional ones as a division level asset, also older plans, so there will be 72 Archers, 24(or 2 battalions) will be a division level asset in support of the 3 armoured brigades, each Brigade will have 1 Archer battalion of 12 guns, and the remaining 12 will probably be supporting Battlegroup Gotland. So in a division frame, there will be 60 guns in total+probably around 60 Mjölner mortar vehicles, the remaining 20 Mjölner might be used for other units.

Sweden was never really neutral but a member of Nato since the beginning except formally and when Sweden abandoned its own nuclear weapons program in the 60’s, a deal was made with the US that Sweden would be protected by US nukes. Also, since 2009 Sweden is bound to aid other EU countries.

Sweden is NOT ordering Mjölner because of losing Archers. Sweden has ordered additional Archers to not only replace the ones which have been sent, but to increase numbers. Sweden is ordering Mjölner because it's rearming after decades of neglecting the military. We've gone from not having any artillery at all, to building a robust and modern artillery force.

[@attilaabonyi8879]

[@amadeuz8161]

I rather have 99 heavy mortars and 1 artillery than 99 artillery and 1 heavy mortar when doing my job. Edit: I also prefer the system that fire the most rounds within 5 mins, in other words the system that suppresses the most.

[@nattygsbord]

I am a bit dissapointed by the slow rate of fire. But otherwise do I like the concept. And yes mortars is an underestimated weapon. Since they are launched out of a short tube at low speeds, can the shells have less thick skin and contain more explosives instead. So the firepower of a mortar can be gigantically much more powerful than that of a howitzer or field gun. And when you then also combine that with a higher rate of fire could the result be a super deadly barrage raining down on the enemy. Having the shots flying up in a high angle and then come raining down on the enemy have both plus and minuses. But this unique ability can sometimes be an enormous advantage over other types of artillery. And with this mobile platform can you reach the place that needs artillery support very fast. And you can deliever a deadly barrage fast and then more before the enemy counter-battery fire can react. And the armor protection do give higher chances of survivability of the enemy actually manage to fire back before the vehicles have moved away from the spot.

[@WolfHeathen]

Not only does it have chained targeting ability (multiple targets at once) and software that makes sure all shots can actually hit all targets at the same time despite the firing delay, but it also fires three rounds within a minute and is already packed up and on its way to its next destination before the first shot has landed. That's where its main strength lies.

[@karmpuscookie]

You know nothing. Just another schoolboy trying to sound knowledgeable.

[@nattygsbord]

@@karmpuscookie I never claimed to know anything either. I recently read John Mosiers book about WW1 where he explained the enormous importance of mortars and the advantage it gave the germans in firepower. German artillery was good, but their mortars are their forgotten star. Big Berta is remembered but no one mentions their gigantic mortars that destroyed the big forts in France and Belgium. So it is a good idea to build a mobile protected mortar I guess. I am surprised that not others have caught on to the idea. As I said, mortars have this huga advantage of containing enormous amounts of explosives compared to ordinary artillery shells. Mjölners rate of fire is not bad. But I have seen a video of an well trained ukrainian mortar crew on youtube which was capable of firing more than 12 shots per minute. So for that reason I wish that the rate of fire was higher. After all is it important that as much fire as possible that as much firepower as possible on the enemy the first minute of artillery fire - because then will the enemy run and take cover which drastically reduce the effectiveness of the artillery firepower.

[@TheApilas]

Swedish armed forces dont have any AMOS they dropped out from the Finnish - Swedish AMOS project back in 2008 during the many military budgets cuts Sweden did when Cold war ended until recent years. And the total manpower is currently totally 50.000 planed to be 120.000 by 2025 of them 45.000 conscript and part time soldiers, so Sweden is in manpower about the same size as Denmark and Norway. Mjölner is just a normal 120 mortar mounted to a turret more or less. That why it has slower fire rate than the Finnish AMOS and Mjölner cant fire on the move or hit same target at the same time with multiple rounds from same vehicle.

[@SonsOfLorgar]

And at 1:25 you lose every bit of credibilty you may have left. Sweden is NOT a ”permanently neutral country”. Your words. We haven't been neutral since 1995, when we joined the European Union. We joined NATO's Partnership for Peace in 1994, and have been a NATO Enhanced Opportunity Partner since 2014. And you need to have slept under a stone, to not notice Sweden's NATO application. So ”permanently neutral”...? Also at 3:00 you claim that India cancelled their order of the Archer system. Which is also a false statement. Get better.

You are right, however they had the CV 90 chassis from before in storage. So the cost is mainly for the turrets and amo storage system. As far as I understand a mortar company will have 6 Mjölner systems. The problem from my perspective is that Strix is not adapted for Mjölner giving it a shorter range. This is not good enough the Strix is an extremely important part of the three dimensional anti tank capability of the Swedish army.
