Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hey guys,

I consider myself like someone who have some knwoledge in military but yesterday I catch this from my balcony and I have no idea of what it is and for what it is made for. Any idea ?

No answer...but I'm damn curious.

I forget the name at the moment but it looks like one of the new self propelled artillery pieces employed by the sweedish army.

I'm almost thinking that it's some sort of EOD equipment. The thing on the rear looks like it could be a blast resistant box, which is/could be on the end of a long boom, allowing the truck to back up near the suspected explosive, then deploy the blast resistant box to cover it, presumably for a controlled detonation.

Or it could be some sort of large movable weight to allow the truck to perform its own tractor pull events.

Thats a ARCHER.

I believe we have a winner. I was thinking that there was no barrel visible, but I suppose it rides under cover during transport.

Thanks a lot Stug ! ! !

I was browsing the net but didn't find anything. Incredible to see this somewhat rare vehicle here in Mons, Belgium.
I am pretty sure it was en route for the Eurosatory Exhibition.

Now I am glad to have been lucky enough to see one and share it with you.

Thanks you very much again !

Later that day I saw this :



Less impressive but cool enough to be photographied.
