Netherlands purchases Swedish made Mjölner 120mm self propelled mortars for superior fire support 

On June 11, 2024, the Dutch Ministry of Defense announced a significant upgrade to its mechanized infantry units with the procurement of Mjölner 120mm self-propelled mortars. These advanced systems, manufactured by the Swedish company BAE Hägglunds, are based on the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). This strategic move aims to establish a robust, layered ground-based fire support system to bolster the operational capabilities of Dutch armored infantry units against light armored threats and dismounted enemy infantry.
