    I was uk mortar platoon member and this is much better than the system we used of driving a puch to the line then dismounting setting up firing then taking apart sticking back on and moving again

    Shooting while moving is paramount for a mortar

      Lol right?? Who'd be dumb enough to remain steady in one place and shoot when you can just shoot the mortar while moving!

      Thanks, hard to tell with all that bolt-on horsepower.

    It just need a little bit of armour to survive 7.62 and artillery.

      No need for that bcoz mortar can be used fsr away from front lines also it can work behind the covered places

      @@TEKKKNO but it will have to operate within artillery range and sometime may need to advance to support troops which puts it in more risk of small arms.

    the multi perforated mount looks somewhat amateurish, and must not bring a lot of stiffness to the whole system.

      Not necessary true, when a beam is loaded the highest loads happen at the bottom and top part of the beam, while in the middle the load is generally neglectable. This is one of the reasons why you see T and I beam, whereby the width increases at the highest loaded part of the beam (i.e. bottom and top).
      Here they just remove some material in the area whereby load would be almost neglectable, thereby reducing the weight dramatically while keeping similar strength and stiffness

    Why are you selling weapons in Africa?

      Because they are selling weapons all around the world, obviously..........

      The stronger african countries should take over the rest and create a balance.

    Useless, neither fish nor fowl. Not mobile and concealable enough and not protected enough. In just what war scenario would it be used.

      Fast mobility, being able to get to the battle field faster, then fire at the enemy then retreat or change positions and and fire at the enemy again. People said the same thing you said when comparing Technicals (pick up truck with anti-air raft gun) used in Africa yet they are effective. Helped the taliban and other rebel groups around the world overthrow governments.
      Vehicle with the mortar is not mad to go straight to the front lines but support infantry who are lightly armored. Better used by probably special forces. When it comes to low intensity warfare in the open plains of Southern Africa it's more important to be able to maneuver behind enemy and travel long distances. It's perfect for the African Bush.
