When Swedish Engineering Builds Artillery

The Archer Artillery System is a Swedish self-propelled howitzer system. The main piece of the system is a fully automated 155 mm L52 gun-howitzer and a M151 Protector remote-controlled weapon station mounted on a modified 6×6 chassis of the Volvo A30D all-terrain articulated hauler. The crew and engine compartment is armored and the cab is fitted with bullet and fragmentation-resistant windows. The system also includes an ammunition resupply vehicle, a support vehicle, BONUS submunitions and M982 Excalibur guided projectiles.

The sound of the toilet seat in the middle of the night when you need to be Quiet

Operates remotely from inside a heavily armored tractor unit, that is so badass

[Rexalicious_Gaming]

Take a listen to this: Gun fires
Me: hmm, is there any way I can keep listening?

"Excalibur Rounds" Dangerous and badass sounding name for an ammunition

[oeliamoya]

Hope that cabin is not only bullet resistant but also soundproof

That is Volvo with some extra iron on it. Volvos logo is 'iron' from alchemy and same as Mars, god of war.

Swedish military engineering is no joke. People take the US too seriously but I never see people talking about Sweden, literally decades ahead in military engineering and technology.

This is "One man, one mission" on the run.

Sound of the door slamming when the windows are open.

Been in one.
The front seat is only the driver in his own little 'cockpit' (or atleast that's what it felt like) and behind him is the gunnery station that looks like a whole PC setup pretty much! Super neat

[knowledgeispower]

I love your channel, so cool seeing all the military tech

[jorgennorrman]

Haubits 77's big brother !! Its a great platform !

Feels like a modular truck on which you could mount different mission appropriate modules (artillery, MLRS, radar, etc) could be the go. Ideally with as close to a mass production truck (engine, tyres etc as possible to improve logistics and repair.

Meanwhile Warthunder, Hell Let Loose players wants to add this in the game

Swedish Archer says hello 💪🏼 🏹 🇸🇪 😎
Shoot 35 km (22 miles) with Bofors BONUS shell.
And with Excalibur shell from an Archer it go 50 km (31 miles)
Newest test: 70 km (43 miles). New record.
The Archer system can be put on anything - To further show that point, BAE is testing the RMMV HX as a carrier for Archer systems.

Kinda feels relatable when it's extending

"your hearing loss is not service related"

This was the inspiration for the EURO artillery in Tom Clancy's End War.

In case Carrie reads this.

There is a book called Legends ans Lattes, by Travis Baldree.

It is about an Orc Adventurer who, after 22 years of adventure, opens up a coffee shop. The book is then about her very low-stakes drama which is written so you get super invested.

It is High Fantasy too so we do have stuff like Orcs and Elves and Fey, but it is, and pardon the pun; Grounded.

In fact, if Carrie or Dan has read this comment; give it a heart. That way I know my message was delivered.

...😂... Looks like a kind of Star Wars weapon
