Swiss army ordered Mörser 16 self-propelled mortar systems

The Swiss army will soon receive a modified 120-mm self-propelled mortar complex Mörser 16. The Swiss Federal Ministry of Defense, Civil Defense and Sports announced the completion of tests of this complex.

In January 2016, the Swiss Defense Ministry signed a contract with the Swiss company RUAG for the supply of 32 Mörser 16 self-propelled mortar systems, 12 transport vehicles, ammunition and related equipment. The delivery was supposed to take place from 2018 to 2022, however, tests of the first prototypes revealed numerous shortcomings in both the firing unit and the fire control system. After that, the complexes were refined to a level that satisfied the Swiss military. Now, the refined complexes will begin to enter the armed forces only in 2024.



The installation itself is a installation of the 120 mm Cobra automated mortar system developed by RUAG on the chassis of Piranha IV armored personnel carriers with an 8x8 wheel arrangement. The main element of the system is a 120 mm smoothbore mortar, loaded from the barrel. The standard barrel length is 2 m. There is also a modification with a trunk shortened to 1,6 m. The barrel is suspended on hydropneumatic recoil devices and is connected with guidance systems.


Directly above the barrel is placed loading mechanism. The ammunition is offered to be laid manually on the machine, after which the mechanisms independently send it in the direction of the barrel and are placed in a tubular cassette. Then the cassette is aligned with the mortar point, and the mine goes into the barrel. After removing the cassette from the barrel, a shot is fired. The moving parts of the loading mechanism operating near the muzzle of the mortar are equipped with shields.

At the request of the customer, the Cobra system can be manufactured without a loading mechanism. In this case, the mortar turns into a muzzle-loading gun with manual loading, but retains all other combat qualities. The mortar can use all existing 120 mm shots. Firing range 7-9 km (long barrel), depending on the type of mine.

Mortar targeting is carried out using electric actuators integrated into a turntable. Horizontal circular guidance or with restrictions on the design of the carrier machine. Vertical - up to 75-80 hail. Changing the elevation angle for loading is not required.

It is noted that Piranha IV self-propelled wheeled chassis made for Mörser 16 will be the first production vehicles of this modification of the Piranha family (to date, the Piranha IV armored personnel carrier has not found serial customers).

    Directly above the barrel is the loading mechanism. Ammunition is proposed to be manually stacked on the machine, after which the mechanisms independently send it in the direction muzzle and placed in a tubular cassette. Then the cassette is aligned with at gunpoint mortar, and the mine goes into the barrel. After removing the tape from muzzle a shot is being fired. Moving parts of the loading mechanism working near muzzle mortars equipped with shields.

        And what is wrong if the muzzle-loading mortar ...? Just wondering.

        This is a brief and technically accurate (competent) description of the barrel of any firearm.
        The muzzle (front) of the trunk ends muzzle. Muzzle of the barrel - the cross section passing through the front end of the barrel without taking into account the arrester (compensator, muzzle brake)

        Therefore, describing the loading process of the mortar, the authors (if they were pro-technicians, gunsmiths) would write this:

      These mortars can even be put on the Humvee, thanks to the rollback and recoil compensation system. Thanks to this system, the rate of fire is higher than the usual 120mm mortars.

        "You can find another name -" Russian Shotgun ". This name is due to the fact that the gun was cast specifically for shooting with shot." Roughly speaking, it was supposed to shoot cobblestones. Well, the cobblestone can be covered with a shovel.

              In 1980, before the Olympics, the Tsar Cannon was taken for restoration. The study of the barrel was carried out by a group of specialists under the guidance of the “gunsmith” M.E. Portnov, engineer G.M. Zakharikov was invited as a technical consultant. so, in the course of a thorough study, it was found out that the Tsar Cannon ... lacks a firing hole through which the charge was ignited! Prof. Falkovsky mistakenly considered in 1946 that there was a fuse - and therefore depicted it in the drawing. The Tsar Cannon has a sink, there are indications of a fuse (approx. 10 mm in diameter), but the channel itself, which goes to the breech, is not. In addition, the inner chamber of the barrel is not cleaned after casting, there are tides on it - metal remains at the edges of the mold, which are formed during the casting process. If a gun were fired, then these bronze remnants would have been removed. But that did not happen. Two of these facts are indisputable evidence that they did not shoot from the Tsar Cannon.

          I’ll clarify a bit!
          The Tsar Cannon, judging by the design (the device of the barrel bore and the charging chamber, as well as the flat breech (without grapes), is a classic bombardment.
          Moreover, adapted for firing stone cores.
          A cast-iron carriage and cores at the pedestal of the guns in the Kremlin, a props of 1834.
          However, the appearance of cast-iron cores and put an end to the bombers. The specific gravity of cast iron is an order of magnitude (three times) higher than the Stone core. In this connection, the need for casting such monsters as the Tsar Cannon disappeared.
          The ability to shoot with a shot in the "tank" directions, this is secondary. Although in Moscow, most of the gates were covered by such weapons!
          For example, the Tsar Cannon for a long time lay on the red square with its goods - Peacock !!!

              The mortar has a smaller range, the angle of incidence is closer to 90 degrees. And this is very important in the city. Especially with multi-story buildings.

                We are not entering Syria and are not going to capture Damascus or Aleppo. Yes, and Lebanon did not have a goal to capture something. And the area of ​​the city from which it is easier to shoot with 20 km howitzers cover 155 mm or (if a point target), ATGM from the same distance to shoot. More efficient and associated losses less. The mortars are adapted for firing at targets in open areas (militant groups, launching positions, ammunition storage locations, etc.). In multi-storey buildings, their benefits are not enough, because the goals are either in the houses themselves, which you can’t take with a mine, or on the streets close to the houses and can always hide in them while the mine is flying.
                And the shooting from the mortar is adjusted either by the correct position for shooting (along the streets) or by the use of adjustable ammunition.

                    When firing artillery, the range of destruction is many times greater. That is, at the same angle of incidence of the projectile, the self-propelled gun will stand much further than the mortar. And ATGM in general can fly almost vertically.
                    Now about the mortars. Why drag a mortar on a direct fire? With actual intelligence in hand, the mortar can be set so that the trajectory does not intersect with the buildings. And the corrected ammunition allows you to change the ballistic parabola to fairly large values

                        The only thing is that really large angles of incidence are quite difficult to achieve. For example, for 2C1 the minimum possible angle of incidence is 77 degrees. At this angle, a standard nine-story building will give a "dead zone" of 130 meters

                        Mortar, collimator, telephone. And it will be very difficult to hit this position even with other mortars.

                        The Christians went to clean Sabra and Shatila because they fired from there on the Christian quarters. So the "defenders" were there. Well, the fact that Christian Arabs took revenge on Muslim Arabs over the years of massacres of Christians in Lebanon is an intra-Arab problem.
                        By the way, I live in a city with dense buildings (much denser than the one in the photo), and also because of my life experience I know how artillery works in urban conditions. And I also imagine shooting at the cities of the "Soviet" layout using the example of Ukraine and Yugoslavia. Sarajevo was bombarded with artillery from long distances, perfectly doing without the introduction of mortars into the city.

                        Great excuse. Promoted by Israel. However, the absence of significant losses among the phalanx heroes indicates that this is a lie.

                        No. This is in its purest form a war crime. The only question is the degree of guilt of Israel. For the occupiers are fully responsible for everything that happens on their territory. Including for the fact that their allies freely enter the enclave blocked by Israeli troops and chop down children with axes.

                        Question number one. If there were no militants (although Ilyich Ramirez Sanchez, a great friend of the PLO, claims the opposite), then who shot the Christians and the Israeli army?
                        Question number two. The massacre of Christians in Lebanon is also a war crime, or is it possible for the militants of the USSR-supported PLO?
                        Now about artillery. You may not believe it. I saw artillery work in 2006 and in 2014. Pretty well seen.

    Swiss army ordered Mörser 16 self-propelled mortar systems

    What for ? Guard the banks ?!
    Or is she hoping that this will save her long-suffering "neutrality"?
    At the end of the 18th century, Napoleon entered Switzerland and she became his "ally".
    In 1815, after the expulsion of Napoleon - Russia, Austria, Prussia and England decided to make Switzerland a "neutral country". But, despite this, Hitler entered it, and then it was bombed by all the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition.
    Therefore, it is more realistic to call Switzerland - "neutral entrance courtyard" with ATMs
    all world currencies. For her, a weapon, that for a goat button accordion.

        Amateur Alternative story or author from parallel reality?

        An elementary history from the school curriculum of the 20th century .. French troops entered Switzerland (1798. Napoleon).
        Then, despite the assignment of the status of "neutrality" to it (by Russia, Austria, Prussia, after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815), German troops entered it (Hitler, spitting on her status of "neutrality"). In 1945, the Allied countries: the USSR, the USA and England, took turns bombing Switzerland, squeezing out the Germans.
        So understandable? hi

          in 1815) it included German troops (Hitler did not give a damn about its status of "neutrality").

          The fact that A.V.Suvorov was in Switzerland in 1799 is our history.
          But Hitler in Switzerland in 1815 is a parallel reality, like the Soviet Air Force in the Swiss sky in 1945.

            Amateur...And here Hitler in 1815 in Switzerland is a parallel reality, like the Soviet Air Force in the Swiss sky in 1945.

            Read my post carefully without distorting its meaning.
            Where is it written that Hitler entered Switzerland in 1815 and that the USSR bombed Switzerland? The meaning of my post is irony in relation to Swiss "neutrality", because it was not observed by Germany (read by Hitler).
            What else is incomprehensible? Once again - "on the tanks"! crying

      Even you have a tight knowledge. For example, Hitler did not take Switzerland at all because there are many banks. He simply could not do it, although he planned and wanted to.

      Also on a wheeled chassis, Spain makes a mortar Eimos 81mm and 60mm, Alakran 120mm
      Israel Spear Mk-2, Cardom.
      The Americans on the chassis of the BTR Stryker have an Isaril mortar. On the caterpillar chassis there is a mortar, South Korea, Japan, Germany

    Mortar, like a mortar.
    But with the system of sending, I think, they are too smart, it looks too flimsy and does not inspire confidence, it also reduces the rate of fire.

    Israel, too, would not hurt to install a similar mortar in Namer. In order to transfer mines to the neighboring street through the house in cities

    It sounds like a myth. With mortars, the minimum distance is hundreds of meters. Or it should be a very big house.
