MBDA and BAE Systems Hägglunds demonstrate AKERON and CV90 firepower

Watch MBDA’s AKERON MP missile be fired from a BAE Systems Hägglunds CV90 infantry combat vehicle for the first time and precisely destroy its target at a test range in Northern Sweden.

The CV90 Mk.4, to my mind, a no brainier! for the British Army as a Replacement for the Worrier IFV.

[@Nick_Goblin]

God the CV90 is so beautiful

[@joostvanwijk3842]

That sound is terrifying

[@JonMartinYXD]

Indeed, not something you want to hear coming. I'm almost positive that's the sound of the optical fibre spooling out.

[@joostvanwijk3842]

@@JonMartinYXD I think you are right.

[@SwissOnlineLeo]

Matsimus was there

[@io9883]

La portée du missile doit être étendue à 50-200 kilomètres et doit être précise. Peut-il être conçu pour être transporté ou lancé par des drones ou des véhicules sans pilote équipés de plus de 10 missiles à courte ou moyenne portée ? Peut-on concevoir des capacités de frappe de précision et de rechargement automatique ? J'espère que l'entreprise et les ingénieurs pourront le mettre à niveau et l'améliorer dès que possible.

Send to Ukraine’s territorial defence for proper evaluation.

[@SHAAAaaaOLiiiiN]

You meant for Ukraine's innocent people killing? You have to stop with this Zelensky propaganda, please.

[@Yuki_Ika7]

agreed, also by chance are you also from r/NonCredibleDefense? Anyway i think CV90's would make a great edition to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

[@kristofferhellstrom]

It's already been proven in battle

[@michaspringphul]

It seems to have a quite small range, due to its cable based guiding system.

[@lsq7833]

5km is not a small range at all.

[@michaspringphul]

@@lsq7833 the cable can be 5km long?

@@michaspringphul this is Akeron MP w. 5km range. There is another version LP with a 15km range being tested.

[@justamicrowave2572]

Wire-guiding doesn’t really limit the range of an atgm as much as you think. They usually have about as range as their laser-guided counterparts.

[@kashmirha]

Not enough info.

[@pauligrisan4865]

Ukraine need that

[@erikdavidantonio5368]

What a weak missile, it must be the "Enforcer" that MBDA offered to the Brazilian Army. I think you can blow up a fridge. 🤔

[@lsq7833]

I have no idea what an "enforcer" missile is supposed to be, but that "weak" missile pierces 1200mm of armor, genius.

[@justamicrowave2572]

@@lsq7833 The enforcer is a shoulder-launched atgm also offered by MBDA. It is meant to be used against lightly-armored targets, which is probably why the person in the original comment is trashing it. That being said, the missile in the video is NOT an enforcer.

[@HinFoo]

as mentioned in the title its the Akeron missile

[@Paterrrr]

First, it is the akeron missile, and then in demonstration of a system not related with the warhead, you simply don't use a costly system when it's useless.

[@HayMaker-tv2dm]

I agree and i know about weapons more than any troll around, this warhead is just ridicolous small, this missile will go nowhere! I will never equip a force with that warhead is just so weak that maybe make sense to make a small hole but thats not all that counts anti stucture i see test that those missiles have done nothing

[@HayMaker-tv2dm]

What happen to the Fire-Shadow missile drone?! You guys have a great idea and just decided to stop developing a system that right now i bet was being employed all over the world, a great idea with weak people at the board of directors to go ahead with the last finishing touches and further testing, it was a amazing system that MBDA have lost to short eye site and small cojones

[@HayMaker-tv2dm]

To small of a warhead! It will never be a major missile in anti armour, Please what is your problem is clear that the warhead is to small and ineffective, ridicolous
