The CV90 Mjölner system seems like the best option.

Love the vehicle, do not love the strange loading system.

Doesn't seem that strange. Besides, it's a mortar, not much you can do as far as loading under armour without turning it into a high angle howitzer.

Seems a bit wobbly at the upper end. Wonder why the arm was chosen, instead of, perhaps, something with the tray running all the way up.

Amos and Nemo are breech loading aren't they? Better ?

Originally it looked like the Swedes were going to adopt Amos and I believe it was primarily a cost issue that ended up driving the Molnijar purchase.

It's at least possible to put an AMOS on a CV90.

I like how this thread has devolved into dress and deportment discussion.

Peak Army.ca….

For me, this thread had gotten way too technical. Now, I can understand it!
