Danish TO & E

Well, when they finally make up their minds, let us know.

I suspect the end result will be that we will have to do with the M109 for a while yet. Unsurprising with a socialist government...

1. The Home Guard snipers existed until 2008 when the last GV M/66 (H&K designation G3A5) were withdrawn. The SSR company supporting Danish regular SOF units retains snipers.
2. Danish Army snipers today have the TRG-42 as the main sniper system, but can chose a HK-417 or a M/66 if that fits better with the mission.
3. The Danish army has determined that the MG3 will not be replaced with any 5.56x45 MG, but with a 7.62x51 MG, IMHO the HK 121 being a likely candidate.
4. Meanwhile the remaining MG3's in the Home Guard are being transfered to the army for use in Afghanistan. In return the number of C7 LSW's in the Home Guard are being increased significantly. Depending on squad type up to 4 LSW's in a 8 man squad.
5. The AT-4 and grenade launchers were withdrawn from the Home Guard 2 years ago, and Carl Gustav use has been severely restricted.

Five years and we have finally decided.

The Danish Army has bought 15 Nexter 8x8 CAESAR systems. It kan be seen on Hærens Kamp- og Ildstøttecenter's home page.

We have also purchased 15 CARDOM 120 mm mortars from ESL to be built into our Piranha 5s and 900 Scania lorries of various sorts.



A part from that, we still have some very fine soldiers, but cutbacks has reducer their effective numbers severaly and there is an exodous of young officers.

OK, Thanks. If any more info comes to light let us know.

Also.......it looks like I missed removing the cluster munitions from the Danish SP arty so that and a new date for the Caesar is on my list

Will keep you up to date. Mainly about the Scania and 120mm ASL Cardom-Piranhas.

Five years, two or possibly even three different governments... and we eventually decided on the one they already had in mind...

Found this...like the sunshade

The Army is also expecting to update the Leopard 2A5-DK at Krauss-Maffei, 38 tanks in all, The update is supposed to keep them running until 2035. Piranha IIICs are also to be updated to last until 2030. The CV9035 DKs are also to be updated in comming years. The current ARV - Wisent 1 - is to be kept running for another 5-10 years before replacement and the army expects to buy a number of "armoured engineering vehicles".

There is nothing new on what the updates might include.
