Developed as a joint venture between Bulldog Motors Military Division and Union Arms, the Panther is a twin barrel 120mm, breech loaded mortar turret mounted on wheeled or tracked chassis. While the standard is the 6 wheeled chassis, the turret and internal systems can be custom fittd to the chassis of your choice. The 6-wheeled chassis provides independent steering on each wheel, RWF capability, and driver operated pressure regulation.
The two mortars are mounted on a common cradle with equilibrator and a leading device. The system is designed for ultra-rapid fire rate, reaching a claimed 26 rpm burst, with multiple rounds simultaneous impact (MRSI) at 14 to 13,000m range. One added advantage of the Panther over conventional mortars is that the barrels can be lowered to deliver direct fire during urban warfare or other scenarios. The cost, while high in relation to standard mortar systems, is well worth it in the versatility and capability demonstrated by the unit.
The cost per unit is NS$6'200'000
All purchases must be approved by the Foreign Ministry and the Defense Ministry prior to the sale being completed.
The actual price for it is 500 million Swedish Kroner per unit. The system itself is good enough that a single vehicle can deliver a strike equal to an entire battery of cenventional mortars or artillery.
