Re: SP, MLRS and SPAA Developments
Denmarks real contribution in hardware will be the Caesar 8x8 which has the FCS of the newer Caesar 6x6 NG. Both will feature new redesigned armored cabs with the 8x8 having much better mobility AND carry more onboard ammo (Off the top I believe that to be 46 to 48 Rds. to include BONUS.)
Denmark had 8 or 10 and as I’ve already posted, France is fulfilling the order of a total of 18 units Denmark wanted and ship them to the Ukraine when completed. With the improvements on the Caesar NG, as of last reporting Denmark will probably buy them as they are “cheaper” and can buy a few more of that version. Denmark is/was the ONLY operator of the 8x8 version prior to the donation to the Ukraine. The NG will also be more mobile than the original Caesar from the lessons learned from all the other user countries. Since I’m at it, the UK testing of the Archer is going very well to include the very recent live fire tests that were conducted. My impression is they are definitely “fast tracking” it. With that in mind I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t reach FOC by JUL or early Fall. We’ll see. ;) Since I’m on the UK, AJAX just recently completed Winter Ops testing in SWEDEN. However, as already posted from MOD and Parliament sources; there are no changes to IOC and FOC status of which both are after 2025. At least for UK RL this bodes well for the Army overall thus far. And since we’re on SWEDEN welcome to NATO! :party: :clap: :cheers: For the “Other Guy” all he gets will be a mean :viking: ! Back to vacation mode since we saw them Sunday they’re undefeated (They lost the opener on Saturday.) and hope they keep it up for our last game later today. I’m happy to have had such an influence on the team!?! :D :rolleyes: :cool: Regards, Pat :capt: |
Re: SP, MLRS and SPAA Developments
I should've asked all the questions from the previous page.
First Denmark has ONLY USA imported HIMARS and the afore mentioned CAESAR 8x8 with 19 UNITS. This will include their entire stock of ammo of unknown quantity. Also, regarding further ammo resupply the Czech Republic has a ready stock of 800,000 rounds of artillery shells made up of 500,000 155mm and 300,000 122mm. All they need is for someone to pay for it and then they can have them all delivered within a few weeks. https://www.businessinsider.com/denm...sia-war-2024-2 https://www.defensemagazine.com/arti...ster-announces Germany as part of its most recent arms package will send 14,000 155mm rounds and 4 WINSENT 1 MCV's etc. https://www.armyrecognition.com/defe...o_ukraine.html Netherlands has approved 100 million Euros for several 100,000's worth of artillery shells. https://www.armyrecognition.com/defe...r_ukraine.html And they're NOT done; it's not the DANA or DANA 2 it is a new system of SPA called the DITA. It has a 2-man crew with a fully automated turret/ROF 5 Rds. PM/Onboard 155mm Ammo 40 Rds./TATRA 8x8 w/ Tatra T3C-928-90 engine with 300 kW output, giving it a maximum speed of 90 km/h on roads and 25 km/h off-road, with a range of 600 kilometers. /Armored Cab and Turret etc. etc. https://www.armyrecognition.com/defe...r_ukraine.html Seems like we need a few more Female Prime Ministers and maybe a President here as they've been more aggressive in doing what's necessary to support the Ukraine to avoid a wider war which Germany and a couple of others think will happen by 2025/or 2026. I hope they're wrong. I'm more about the old 1942 song written in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor; "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" to include Tanks/Tubes and everything else. Concerning my Mets ball club, well they stayed undefeated while there and today when we left to head home yesterday morning. I guess we just have this "Aura" around us from today on we just wish them luck until the first "Subway Series" in the regular season, you see CINCLANTHOME is a true Yankee Fan!?! :p :down: :angel Regards, Pat :capt: |
Re: SP, MLRS and SPAA Developments
Hope nobody did any serious thought as to a icon/OOB slot for ERCA in the US OBAT.

Re: SP, MLRS and SPAA Developments
US Army just deployed their new TYPHON system to the Philippines.
https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news...e-philippines/ https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news...e-mrc-battery/ It's basically a containerized VLS system on trailers -- can fire either SM-6 Standard or Tomahawk Land Attack Missile. Yes; that's not a typo; they basically took a USN shipboard SAM and made it into a land based SAM. Currently, the US has two batteries -- one in the philippines now and one working up in CONUS. I'm not sure whether to add it to the database because we don't know if the Army is going to double down, and get 8 batteries and keep it for the next 35 years or kill it in the next five years. |
Re: SP, MLRS and SPAA Developments
In many ways this is a weapon system that is beyond the scope of the game........at best borderline

Re: SP, MLRS and SPAA Developments
Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but soon we might have some data points on the effectiveness.
