Bofors demo 92 2-4 

Ive fired the RBS 70 and 90 in an official visit by the British army to Sweden! Some great stuff you guys make!

Bloody frightening that 5.56 AP can go through 10mm. Mind you, I remember the range warden at Barry Buddon in Scotland as early as 1984 moaning about the all-too-visible holes in his falling plate targets, which had been caused by cops firing 5.56

Nothing on Earth can hold a candle to the good ol bofors

5:14 yes, but can our child soldiers handle the recoil?

This stuff is so good these days I'm surprised anyone wants to play soldier anymore.

"immediatley after the visitors inspection the demo began"' BANG WAPOOM BOOOOM and all the visitors just exploded

Wonderful bit of history, very useful, thank you

gotta love the rate of fire for the Carl Gustav. if you miss, follow up shots are so quick.

As a British vet, Ive studied these events before and after the occupation in Denmark and Norway and these Swedish lads are right! Sweden and the UK provided both, the Norwegian resistance, but in Sweden there were more of private initiatives rather than the Swedish government!

The faces of a lot of brass realizing their tanks are now obsolete. It will always be easier to defeat armor than to develop it.

9:08 I've fired one of those (smoke). The firing detonation, albeit no recoil, is is significant _BANG_ ;-)

that guy kicked the 84mm cartridge out faster than a FAMAS. Hard core.

This is almost 30 years ago. Imagine what they have today ☠☠☠☠☠

The US Army only recently adopted the confined space version of the AT4. This video was from 1992. I can't believe it took that damn long.

*Tank Burnt Down* You Were Killed by: *BILL*

Christ, he reloads fast!

Yeas, it will never be obsolete! Just like the Kalashnikov.

4:38 Is that Swedish way to say LMAO?

I'm really surprised by those 5.56 and especially the 7.62 AP rounds. A goddamn APC??

Damn those AP rounds did quite well against the "APC" armour

Greetingz from FinlAnd 🇫🇮🇫🇮💥💥

And this is why we fight wars... all these guys eager to buy new toys and actually get to use them

are there any videos about the swedish sub-hunting kit???

In the "Battle of Sälby" (Think thats the title?) you can read about Swedish and Norwegians fighting to try to give the north time to get organized with British -French and Norwegian units.

Old fashioned but I'd definitely bring a Carl Gustav if I had to go into battle.

the munitions should be tested in 3 configuration 1- at the maximum firing range of the weapon system characteristic and the ammo used / with the target maximum thickness for the weapon and the round to penetration the armor 2 - medium ranges or most common engagements distances for the weapon system and the ammo with maximum armor thickness for the target ( same case 1) ... 3- the short ranges and close engagements with maximum armor thickness for the target ( same case 1 and 2 ) .. They can re-test weapons and ammunition against lightly armored targets or against soft targets ...etc in order to simulate of various combat engagements scenarios .. As for the personal weapons , there are no engagements in open battles from 100 m. These 100 M range are suitable for personal defense weapons ( PDW ) and even some pistols . The Swedish forests may help to set an ambush and allow to fight a battle from close distances, but most traditional motorized or mechanized infantry combat engagements remain within the effective range of the individual weapon 300 M .. but very impressive arsenal of weapon systems and munitions ..

As far as Norway goes, we did provide the resistance with a safe haven, training and weapons. The only nation that we exported weapons to during the war was to Finland. And obviously that Britain and the USA built 10's of thousands of Bofors 40mm guns during the war on license.

And here we go again why this was recomended to me

Brazil is a regular customer from Boffors

No we did not sell any weapons to Germany during the war. We did however buy weapons from Germany. Being cut of from the outside world, the only natons that we could trade with was with Germany and Finland, and to a much lesser extent, we could also import oil from South America. Out trade with Germany was that we sold mainly iron ore and machine components, while we bouth coal, machines, weapons and so forth from Germany.

The Norwegian resistance where really thankful for Sweden being neutral. The Swedish army supported the Norwegian resistance fighters with rifles and hand grenades etc. Swedish volunteers managed to hold Sälby in Trondheim county from the Germans so the Norwegian army and the French had time to get organized prev to the occupation!

This is fascinating...

Bra film :)

I am carlov gustov operator👌⚠️😁

wow, that APC has the tracks and suspension from an WWII tank the pz38 (t)

The Bofors manufactures provided England and the US (And Germany) with crucial weapons technology before the war and continue to do so, even if the Germans threatened to sink any Swedish ships who left the ports of England and the US.

Well the swedish mathematician Arne Beurling broke the enigma code so that they could understand virtually all german messages. He also broke the soviet code. This saved thousands of lives for sure.

5,56 AP was standard in denmark 1999

Corporal . you wanna take a detail , Out to the Bonus Test Range and police up The Brass

BONUS RANGE !

7:54 Looks like the same gold-colored residue we found after one of our M1A1 tanks got plinked in Iraq. Never found the shooter, or the weapon tube.

At 6:55...that whole segment is the most impressive. The AT12T. What a sell. Massive plates....terrible angle.....the most advanced E.R.A. of the time....and you blow a fucking hole out the back of the target. (Potential buyer in crowd) Wow. SOLD. Hahaha. I hope the people that developed that got massive bonuses that year. That was awesome.

the bofors i remember were anti aircraft twin mounted on british ships in ww2

Epic

Hi from Sweden

Welfare intensifies.

Killing its a business! Business its Good!

3:53 That's an APC? I played with Tonka trucks that were bigger than that!

The land of the Nobel peace prize.

Bofors was bought by Krupp in 1921 as front company to sell weapons to neutral nations and also to conduct new weapon research. Later it was sold back to Swedish Investors.

Pero esos misiles se dispararon a muy corta distancia. Funcionaran igual a 500m o mas???

The Helmet was not just German. The Finnish army chosen their uniforms years before WWII. The blue and white Swastika who the Finnish aircraft carried was an old symbol a Swedish/Finnish officer wore as his personal emblem and had nothing to do with the German! (Strange you havent mentioned that?)

What year is this video recording, if you look at the shooting, it looks like it was recorded in the 90s?

Thats not entirerly true, we helped the Germans to make the 88mm AA gun(bofors and Krupp worked together). And that was before the war.

Is this paul Harrell?

Any generals from Yugoslavia in the crowd?

Wife frnds: Ok, tell us all about your first night 😋 Wife: 4:14 5:29. 🤐

I have fired a live AT-4.

Any sources on that? UK supported norwegian resistancefighters with training and weapons. Sweden was only used as one of the "exfil" ways for norwegian fighters to get out of norway and usually back to the uk. And norway was not at all organized before the occupation

The germans would´ve taken the iron by force probably. And even so, many danish jews were saved, and Raoul Wallenberg personally saved almost 20 000 jews.

because if the at4 can be coupled with the carl gustaf hepd 502 warhead, why not use it better with the heat 751? a heat 751 warhead with the at4cs would be incredible it would have no analogues in the world !!!

1000? they have bought around 650.000 at4's

sweden fuck yeah!!!!!!

Now that is a weird aspect ratio

would put you off wanting to be a tankie.

those where bofors 40mm pum-pum

5:30あたりで日本語が聞こえたような...。

Vampire rpg 29

At that time Bofors partly belonged to Krupp.

why they never produced the at12t? it would have been insurmountable

är alla vapen svenska?

remember when europe (outside germany) actually built stuff?

It looks quite silly seeing all these soldiers scurrying around with their massive recoilless rifles in front of an audience of civilians but let's remember...only a few decades ago , war with Russia seemed like a very real threat...

10:20 So basicly a APHE projektile like a Pzgr 39

It's good, but not THAT good. The Carl-Gustav m3 is way more versatile and you cant just switch the ammo on an at4. I've used both in the danish army, and i would pick the M3 any time.

It's the Trump of anti-armour systems!

This looks like it took place in Sweden ofc lol

When I saw the thumbnail I though the soldier was gonna shoot the bazooka hands up and without looking, like a boss.

Tested AT weapon against 38mm armour of APC...seems legit.

I would not call that right, its like saying hundreds can be up to several thousand. When saying 1000's it should be ranging from 1000-10.000, anything over that is 10.000's and so forth.

You are all raving mad.

Secondly both my native countrys (Norway and England) supported Germany pre to the war.

Ah, so this is how all these tin pot Generals get all their medals, from attending demonstrations like these.

Why dudes where getting on the chopper with their stocks not folded ? Lol

these people need girlfriends

Too bad that the AT-12T never went behind prototype stage.

8:30 what is that rifle name

Your not totally right about it! Parts of the border where known escape passages for the resistance and unofficially the Swedish government had an "blind eye" to some of these spots. Just read more about Hjemme fronten and youll see! The rules of war says otherwise that soldiers in a regular army are to be brought to prison camps and armed civilians should be forced back to the country from witch they came. Theres no way they could have crossed the borders for supplies and get back otherwise.

now swedens army is commanded by feminists... gj!

ไทยฉันคิดว่ามีความสามารถเรื่องการแทรกซึมทางชายแดนการรักษาแนวเขต

Wow swedish made all these weapons

why nobody is using it in syria?

i dont know that very hard to make single tiny hole on tank's armour

ja

dont think anyone claimd we were making wepons in GER, we sold a shit load of cannons, explosives, metals and engines too the nazis thow...

Quantum means very very very tiny

Yeas, there were Nazis among the elite in all the Scandinavian countrys. You never hear about it from those who later where the occupied nations.As a Norwegian I understand you but Im not on to this crusade against Sweden or Germany! Hell, Finland took it way further and really joined force with the Germans but we Noregians rarely complain about it?

As Germany offfered peace by Vatican, Hess and other channels in 1941, to leave all occupied countries for peace in Europe, England ignored that all = bigger shame! In August 1939 Germany said: Poland can have their country, can have their border (which was illegal taken by league of nations, very undemocratic), just we want our city Danzig with 95% gemans inside and some street connection (like later to West Berlin) - England forced Poland to war! Shame!

This new model has a frendley easy access to self destruct button...this guy sounds like he's selling a car....

Answer 1/2 Yes, the scandinavian countries were neutral since a long time. Swedish fighters fought also in Finnland against the USSR. But, well - you speak from german occupation: So remember, that long before one german made a step to Norway, british commandos hurt Norways neutrality. Also the ship incident with the Altmark. Churchill wanted also send troops to Finnland in Winter 39/40, via Narvik. Anybody believes that colonial Brits would than leave? Would u have fight than against the Brits?
