Nemački...Wiesel-2 SP Mortar

The new airmobile mortar combat system based on the Rheinmetall Defense Wiesel 2 tracked weapons carrier was shown for the first time at Eurosatory 2006. The complete system, including mortar carrier, reconnaissance and command vehicles were on display. The system is air transportable as a sling load underneath a CH-53 or in a C-130 or C-160 aircraft. The mortar carrier is equipped with externally mounted mortar firing standard or specially developed ammunition reaching a range of up to 8 km. The armored, NBC protected vehicle has accommodation for a crew of three. It has a three-dimensional positioning and heading system enabling autonomous operation.

The mortar barrel laying system uses automatic compensation to correct barrel laying after each shot. Up to three rounds can be fired within 20 seconds of receiving the firing order. The unit operates a two-vehicle command and control element called Joint Fire Support Team, (JFST), equipped with an extendable surveillance system, comprising a high-resolution CCD camera, a 3rd generation FLIR, laser pointer and rangefinder for tactical reconnaissance operations.

The system uses Wiesel 2 platforms, configured as combined reconnaissance / fire support elements to support the air-mobile mortar units. The target acquires target locations and imagery by employing on-board sensors, elevated on a telescopic mast, which will be augmented in the future by a range of unmanned air and ground sensors. Target data is constantly relayed to the company HQ, platoon leaders and the JFST via wireless datalinks, also used for the exchange of information with higher sources. The Wiesel 2 reconnaissance vehicle is also equipped with a laser designator, enabling it to operate as a forward observer and forward air controller, illuminating targets for laser guided munitions.

Pricao je kad je bija u partizanima i da su izvrslili nocni napad na italijansko uporiste. On je imao mali italijanski minobacac od 20 milimetara i okine on nekiliko granata i u tom se desi da mu ceo mehanizam izleti, kako on rece opruga... rasturili se delovi po kamenjaru, on onako to sav uspanicen trazi nekako, razmislja sta ce biti, kad ui tom popadaju one granate sto ih je ispalio na italijane, kod njih zavlada panika i vriska i nasi partizani dobro prodju. Pobede...
