Don,
On STRIX top attack mortar round...
Sweden; Yes in 1994 for standard 120mm tube mortar and when AMOS comes on line.

FINLAND; Tested for AMOS on XA-200 platform ~2000. Can't give a 100% yes-So NO. Currently using MEHRE and have MAT-120 (2005 bought.) CARGO rounds supposedly in storage so therefore available. MAT-120 would be AMOS supported, however unknown at this time what non-HE round they will use for their AMOS systems once fielded. Of note PATRIA site reports AMOS on track for Finland as submitted in PP.

Switzerland; Does not look like deal went through though still checking.

Following two for further info on rounds above and follow up to VIKING. From 2004...

Current VIKING ref confirms contract...

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE ARE THE CONTRACT DATES AS GIVEN, STILL FEEL GOOD ABOUT FIELDING DATE FOR SWEDEN. ALSO GIVES THE UK CONTRACT DATES AS WELL (NOT IN THE GAME AS MKII.) NOV. 2008 SHOULD BE GOOD FIELDING DATE FOR UK.


Regards,
Pat
