Danish TO & E

[DRG]

We have stopped using the Piranhas as an Infantry APC. They are still in service as APC for engineers and in a lot of other various roles.

If not Piranhas........what's being used as an APC..... the 113's ??

Don,
The following should help. First is the Royal Danish Army homepage equipment section with names in English, click on pictures for further info, some of the characteristics you can make out and translator will work faster here. Other refs from Danish site as well and is fully in line and supported by the RDA site. A new tracked vehicle is supposed to replace the M113 and PIRANIA II and IIIs with a decision to be made this year on the replacement. Based on history with CV 9035DK it could be the ARMADILO APC version. But that's for next year. Unless the economics have pushed this back as happened to the Dutch last Summer. And yes everyone I'm on a mission here and everywhere.

Don.

Yes, at the moment we're using the M113 and CV9035DK as APC. See my first post regadig 2+1 and 1+2 for configuration of coys equipped with CV9035DK and M113.

Just realised I made a mistake.
Regarding the fifth chart - it should be three 81mm mortars.
Hence formation 006 did have three 81mm m0rtars. Just found the correct organization charts.

Regarding Fastboat Tough reply - we neved have had Piranha II. Only Piranha IIIH and IIIC. We started out with 22 pieces H models and later bourght 96 pieces of the improved C model.
And you're right regarding a repacement for the M113 - we're still waiting for the decision to be made.
By the way - thanks for the links - I haven't seen them before...
