- BAE Systems Hägglunds' Mjölner vehicle-mounted mortar system will boost indirect fire capability to support mechanized battalions. It enables the user army to field a capability that is well adaptable for diverse vehicle platforms while also increasing the overall fleet's firepower.
Sweden has an order on 24 more Archers.. And the Mjölnir order was made before the Ukraine war. Dont take this channel seriously.
Do you know if this is true? How do you know this?
@@dlind1985 Because im Swedish.
@@dlind1985 As a Swede, I can verify that he's telling the truth. We had multiple Archers on order well before the Ukraine war started because we took over Norway's order when they pulled out. The first Mjölner units were delivered in January 2019 and all 40 vehicles had been delivered by 2020. An additional 20 were ordered in 2022.
@@WolfHeathen Wow! Thank you!
Sweden Will have 72 Archers. 88 Mjölners. New HIMARS are also being bought.
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.
Actually Mjölnir translates to Mjölnir. But Mjölnir is Thors Hammer.
Wat.. In Swedish it's Mjölner. Mjölnir is english.
Old Norse Mjǫllnir would then translate into either "shining" "lighting" or "the grinder".
Its MJÖLNER! Mjölner is the godgiven name to Tors hammare (Tors hammer in english, yes without H). Mjölner means The pulveriser in english. Study and learn!
48 more units are ordered since a couple days back.. UK is also an Archer user now.
According to wikipedia Sweden's got 549 CV90s, and additional 40 Mjölner are ordered, and there's already a new order for another 48 Archer systems for the swedish military.
Those Archer systems are prio #1 as they are a vital part of our military defense. Need to replenish after giving such hardware to Ukraine.
And those will have the Rheinmetall RMMV chassis instead of the volvo one
@@LyricalSteeler We didnt give anything that was in Use. Norway ordered 24 archer systems, they didnt take delivery and cancelled order. These 24 were put in storage and were maintained as reserves for our 24 in service. 8 of these were transfered to ukraine.
At 1.5 million, a nation would be silly not buying theae highly maneuvarable and cost effectibe vehicles.
Silly?
It is the name of Thors hammer
CALLING SWEEDEN PERMANTLY NEUTRAL IS INSANE. Anywyas good vid
Many of us know Sweden haven't been neutral since it joined the EU.
Switzerland not Sweden.
@@highsoap? Sweden 🇸🇪
The UK bought 12 of these a while back
I truly hope that this thing lives up to its name.
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.
Nice system!
And one more wrong is that Archer is to expensive....its not ..the reason we dont have more of them is due to needs - CV90 systemis way more effectiv due to our nature and flexibility
Totally false… it has nothing to do with the decrease of the archers… it’s all about mobility to their mortar companys🙄
"Sweden... a permanently neutral country..." Until Putin forced their hand into joining NATO. Yay Putin, *_THE_* NATO recruiter of the decade. We couldn't have done it without you. Enjoy your new "permanent" 1,340km border with NATO, thanks to you forcing Finland's hand as well, Vlad.
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 kept itself neutral during WWII and the cold war, but wasn't really neutral. After the cold war we've been using term "freedom of alliance". Americans need to get this straight, as well as the idea of us being a socialist country. That's just stupid and ignorant.
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.
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.
You know nothing. Just another schoolboy trying to sound knowledgeable.
@@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.
@@nattygsbord There are always trade offs, mjölner trades rate of fire for armour and mobility.
speed combined with firepower is the thing ;)
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.
*two assisted loading 120mm protected self propelled mortars, but yes, Mjölner is a cheap downgrade compared to AMOS in most aspects.
@@SonsOfLorgarbut it IS just as effective
so not as big of an army as mentioned in the video. I am a captain in the swiss armed forces and we have 110k to a max of 140k soldiers. But right now we are just a little over 150k active soldiers since we had a system change on the compulsory military service and it only is 100% in effect after 2028 and you can't throw out those few over who won't be there and also not replaced in 4 years to come. and then there are like hundert thousands soldiers not active anymore but with their compulsory duty finished but still with great military knowledge after some refreshers
If you can't afford it... your lost!
1 barrel 8x8 Paria, is Newer NEMO 120mm long barrel system…
Archer (5millions)=one F22....I`ll take the Archers 24/7 :P
its a bit strange that fitting a simpler gun would lower the price 5.000.000 dollar....
The Swedish defense is to replace Archer, which was sent to Ukraine and sold to Great Britain. In addition, the Swedish defense will probably buy rocket artillery, but the question becomes which in that case.
Indeed, on one hand the himars system has been proven effective on the battlefield, on the other hand it would mean relying on the U.S for ammo which might not be ideal..
@@attilaabonyi8879 As I said, I don't know which robotic system our defense forces are looking at either? After all, we had to pay a lot for the Patriot 103 air defense that we bought from the United States. was probably about a billion and then the rockets for the system were also included. So the USA got a lot of money from Sweden. I also read that the USA was interested in buying Swedish Archer. WE'll see, but at least we need rocket artillery, so we'll see who we buy it from
@@1891726 hopefully we won't have to be tooo reliant on the U.S, but yes havin rocket artillery will be key to defense
@@attilaabonyi8879 I would love for us to take a look at Finland. They bought rocket artillery when the EU countries started scrapping their defenses. Check today? They probably have like a thousand artillery pieces today, both qualitative and quantitative. You need a lot of everything
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.
You know what I would like to see from our army?
Rocket artillery systems being used and fielded,those have proven to be a very important part of this war in ukraine and it wouldn't be entirely a bad idea to have those.
Also attack helicopters would also be useful when going on the offensive.
@@attilaabonyi8879 We've decided to get that too.
@@jakobholgersson4400 which and when?
@@attilaabonyi8879 I believe a decision to commence a procurement program was taken this spring.
We're still at a very early stage, though. I'm not even sure if there's any list of requirements yet, let alone a public list of candidates.
@@jakobholgersson4400 ah ok, is this info verafiable?
I would like to read about if it is possible, just to read and nothing more.
Ps:if it is true then that would mean a great deal.

#TogetherWeWin
Scrap 😂😂
Sweden has NOT one of the largest armed forces in the nordic region, although it plans to increase due to the war in Ukraine and upcoming membership in NATO. I don't where this guy got his intel from.
интересная консервная банка 🤔
So you now, the god tor. I speeld TOR,mot thor. And we send good weapons.
Myolnur
Mjölner 💪🏻
Over kill.
The Orcs are not loving the Archer in Avidka at the moment. 🇺🇦🇺🇸
A shit load of errors in this clip. Watch something else.
Sweden doesnt have Amos.
So many errors in this clip.....
Yeas, and don't mention the comments....
A lot of erroprs in this film.... not much right...
So many errors in this video lol
Sweden shoud've stayed out of the Urkaine conflict, and not joined NATO.
The fact is Ukraine could use a bunch of these to bombard Russian defensive lines!
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. Or you will be stuck at that low number of subscribers.
EU isn't a military/defence alliance. Partnership for peace isn't a military/defence alliance, even Russia was part of partnership for peace.
NATO enhanced opportunity partners have no right to demand help or is required to help. When Sweden joins NATO their 200 years of neutrality will end.
@@fnyqvist3EU has a defense clause.
@@mikaelb.4799 with no obligations to help with military force
@@fnyqvist3 The same can be said about NATO:s article 5. No member state can be forced into doing military actions against its will. I can give you NATO is definitely more structured around military cooperation in comparison to EU.
@@mikaelb.4799 there is huge differences between the structure and obligations between NATO and EU, EU has always allowed neutrality for its members while NATO main reason for existence is an military alliance. Article 5 is much more demanding then anything EU have. EU is moving more towards a defensive military alliance, but it is still possible to be neutral, but I believe that EU within a decade or so will force all members to abandon the thought of neutrality, just as they force their members to abandon more and more of their self government.
this video is a joke so many things wrong !
Correction: Sweden does not have any "Amos" vehicles, and has never had. To repeat this lie is trolling. It has ordered 48 more Archers on top of the about 30 they had left after giving 8 to Ukraine and selling some to the UK. They will have over 80 Archer 23/24. To post these "facts" only last month is destructive and trolling.
Most of what their AI is saying is crap!
Dont see how a 6 km ich mortar will replace a 35 a 40 Km boom stick. iff you are 30 km short just stay home. its the same i did buy a motorbike bicause they send the F16 to Ukraine. just a bullshit topic.
because???
@@Coole-ee1vg Because a big155 mm boomstick would be used for long distance targets and a mortar for short range. And when needed even the 155 artillery could be used for short range high angle shots. And with the smarts munitions a projectile will be fired over 90 degreee angels so the prjectile will hit targets behind hiigh buildings or cliff's. so now you explain how that mortar will hit a boogy @ 15 miles.
Översättningen till svenska är ju riktigt dålig! "Murbruksrundor!"?? Mortarrounds = granatkastarammo!
