The US Department of Defense ordered the delivery of Swedish rocket launchers

The US Department of Defense has signed a new contract with the Swedish company Saab for the supply of 84-mm hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers Karl Gustav M3 worth 16 million dollars. According to the contract, the delivery of grenade launchers of the American army will be held in 2019 year.

In addition to the previously delivered types of ammunition, the new contract provides for the delivery of a multi-purpose shot MT-756, previously not ordered by the American army. The MT-756 shot is designed for use in urban fighting, it allows you to destroy targets inside buildings or other structures using a tandem warhead.

Carl Gustaf M3 (Carl Gustaf m / 86) - the third model of the Swedish grenade launcher, developed in 1991 year. The steel barrel was replaced with a thin-walled liner (steel rifled liner) in a fiberglass casing, which reduced the mass weapons up to 10 kg. It has a carrying handle (similar to the M-16 rifle), 3 multiple optical sight. M3 is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 1,3 km using various types of ammunition, including high-explosive fragmentation, anti-tank cumulative, high-explosive fragmentation dual-use. Officially, the Garl Gustav grenade launcher was adopted by the US Army at the end of 2015. In the American army, the Karl Gustav grenade launcher in the M3 modification received the designation MAAWS (Multirole Anti-Armor Anti-Personnel Weapon System MAAWS).

10 kg ... it will be too much ... Although the characteristics are not indicated ... maybe it is also not enough ...

[MPN]

In fact, this dynamo-reactive gun is manual, judging by the video ... Reusable, hence the weight ... I suppose it's even light ..

[electrooleg]

That's right, let them order. His then there is apparently no normal sane!

[MPN]

They (the USA) have ordered this grenade launcher since its inception, they themselves could not be created with acceptable mobility and efficiency. I think the main part is just in America and is ...

All the characteristics are known and tampered with the annual Swedish arms bill. Already, it’s boring, the honest word (Kalinov Bridge)! And if so, then what is all this commentary schusher, hell without a damn, to abuse America, but even the masters are there, one word, well done guys!)))

The economy must be economical. ©
Yankees are easier to buy proven weapons than to spend money and time on the development of domestic and lacking analogs. Although before they at least tried to localize production at home.
Moreover, sometimes the "import" development of the Yankees buried their own American projects. The most famous such story is how a 40-mm Bofors killed two American anti-aircraft guns at once: a 37-mm army and a 28-mm naval. Moreover, the naval assault rifle was created for 5 years, another 4 years brought to mind and set up production. And exactly, when the machine was licked and launched into the series, the entire program was covered in favor of the “foreign car”.

A recoilless gun, sort of hand-held ... Not?

[MPN]

Well yes, it's the same thing. Only manual, this is nonsense. Or a technological breakthrough.

[Tank hard]

Well, it’s about Karlusha Gustov who I asked ... Grenade launcher? Recoilless gun? Manual?

[MPN]

So they call the grenade launcher, and judging by the video everything is as in recoilless, only from the hand ...

[Tank hard]

So, a recoilless gun?

[MPN]

So I thought so ..

[Hiller]

Wearable ... so now, probably. And earlier Gustav was called a recoilless gun)) At least in our specialized press and on the intelligence cycle. “The Special Operations Command (SOCOM) recently ordered several thousand additional shells for the 84-mm portable recoilless gun“ Carl Gustav ” used by them for over two decades. "

Portable ...

Yes, it seems he’s been used there a long time ago .. The Marines certainly loved him - I'm afraid I’ll make a mistake, but it’s like from the 70s .. Although this is of course a significantly improved version

They began to operate in the 70s, and officially put into service only in the 90s. In 2015, this is the latest upgrade.

And Merikansky ...? Well, are you not an enemy when publishing such an article, etc., in general, dear Bongo, you have to live in the world of people, and in a Russian man all American rackets fall on take-off (gunpowder cheese) or make an emergency maneuver on the launcher (Russian hackers).

Judging by the video, the calculation of two people is not too much?

Probably just right, since our calculations have 2 units of legs and a full-time tube))). I saw the PRT screening during the night shooting at the defense area ---- with the songs went. It was ridiculous to look at them, because if An Abramst company with infantry would break out, then the forcemeat would be. And that they went to the line, and did not make their way and fired, but did not hit. And then I understood why the tank companies are tense in terms of fate in comparison with anti-tank or air defense armor and catch it in the hull, front, tower or air defense events .... saving in a combat situation is the formation of special convoys that are fried forward. But this is a past war, and in modern warehouses, gas stations, headquarters under attack is a victory! Sergey?

Americans with him in Iraq and Afghanistan managed to fight.

[andrewkor]

I'm still waiting for the United States to adopt the AK, they fell in love with it in Vietnam, the RPG-7 seems to already exist! After all, the German 120 mm was accepted to replace Beretta with Colt. guns to the Abrams. In the past, they bought wind instruments for military bands in the GDR! So there is hope!

Beretta in return for the Colt because they took

Partially. And already changed to sig.

Stormwalker, you went to school, don’t even ask about college and institute?

[Thunderbolt]

There is a substantive question, with what do you disagree? And my education is well-known, I’ve finished 8 classes (for lice of an interested nature) and for me all your “classes” are not at all normal, because I appreciate the mind in myself, and then the classes, academies and FZU. So what do you disagree with, Mr.?
