Make a rail to lift and drop the round internally after loading it through a breech mechanism.

Inherently weaker tube, more mechanical bits that can break, worse rate of fire, more expensive to manufacture at scale, and will not be able to use vast existing stockpiles of mortar bombs.
There are breech loaded mortars, but usually since they have such a heavy bore that they cannot be safely drop-fired, like the 2S4 Tyulpan.

>>
>>533619838
The point of a mortar is to be able to drop fired. Breech loading mortars would need the ammunition to be designed around it.

It would be possible to just create second barrel, like a shotgun, fill it with ammunition and use a simple sprocket mechanism to drop it in one by one, maybe even add several, independently loadable tubes instead of the arm. It could probably fire a lot faster and carry more ammo. The next step would be to put wings on the mortar shell and a small electric motor. This pone is just a tech demonstrator anyway, showing that even complex battlefield robots are feasible to use.
>>
>>533619838

>>533620408
They couldn't figure out how to launch it from the back end but instead used some retarded arm contraption?
>>
>>533620293
A tracked mortar launcher with an exposed arm is an extremely desirable target for a single sniper with an anti material rifle. An aerial drone would score big just hitting the ground next to this thing with a fragmentation bomb. If they're going to use arms to load existing stockpile mortars, just send infantry.

>>533620742
Infantry are twice as vulnerable to the things you mentioned. This thing clearly isn't designed to be invincible, but to be just good enough and also expendable. Not to mention that mortars are crew-served weapons and this drone removes the vulnerability of one casualty in a mortar crew nullifying the weapon system.
I would imagine that it is likely more accurate with first-round hit rate being able to benefit from spotters/spotter drones feeding firing vectors to it, or to several of them at once all firing at one target in a battery salvo.
Since it is a small vehicle as opposed to a team of mortarmen humping the tube, baseplate, sight, and mortar bombs - it can shoot, scoot, redeploy, and receive new fire missions much quicker than any team of soldiers would be reasonably capable of. All whilst being much more expendable and less vulnerable to fatigue.

Because it's not a weapon that was created in a first-world nation. They cannot afford to design weapons, or at least, they cannot afford to manufacture them. This weapon is using pre-existing tubes and shells, which cuts down dramatically on manufacturing costs.

As a US citizen, you've made the big error of assuming other nations can produce nearly a fraction of our armaments. Most nations are still maintaining armories of weapons from the 60s and 70s.

>Why no breach load mortars?
There are breach loaded mortars, Russia has some pretty neat ones actually like the automatic 2B9 Vasilek. This one is probably not using a breach loaded mortar since it's probably basically just a robotic operator for an existing mortar system.

Those don't really apply when the comparison is to using a robot arm to load it.

I think it's this and the robot probably uses existing mortar tubes.
>>533622178
>Because it's not a weapon that was created in a first-world nation.
which you can easily tell from the fact that it actually has been built rather than being a program that cost 50 billion dollars before eventually being canceled.
>>
>>533621532
Use your imagination dipshit. It's simply a practical requirement in order to use preexisting ammunition stockpiles for drop-fired mortars, which was probably a driving part of the rationale for this design. I bet the tube itself is also recycled from something that not only already exists, but already has tooling set up and stockpiled parts and completed units.

What would you suggest? Some kind of carousel loader mounted above the tube? More mechanical complexity, more things to break, probably significantly heavier as well whilst also being able to carry far fewer mortar bombs compared to a box that an arm reaches into. An ammo carousel scheme mounted high up would also unacceptably raise the center of gravity and spoil its ability to cross minor obstacles and also elevate the ammunition to an exposed location even if this thing was sitting in a hull-down position since the mortar bombs would be on the highest portion of the vehicle.
Breech loaded mortars were already mentioned but that would result in much increased cost, significantly reduced rate of fire, new ammo required, etc.

A mechanical arm being essentially the only moving part for the firing sequence reduces engineering complexity compared to the alternatives, and is probably less vulnerable to say, a shell splinter or drone bomb fragmentation entering a mortarman loader's body, nullifying the whole weapon system if carried by infantry.
Even if the metal arm got destroyed or damaged, that's literally one part to replace. A part that's essentially just a metal beam with some kind of clasping bit at the end. As opposed to a whole suite of mechanical bits for the alternatives of things that can break.
Every design feature has trade-offs. Lowering unit cost is also an advantage to procurement to anyone that isn't the entrenched asinine grifting nonsense of the Western MIC.

>>533622178

From what I can tell this is a traditional hand loaded, muzzle loading mortar.
>>
>>533622178

>>
>>533621305
There may be some situations where sending a very, very cheap arm loader drone makes sense like as you said in expendable situations. Another good situation would be to have a mortar drone loiter and then activate in the field ready to go. But in most cases I can't see how they would be better than infantry. These drones can't fire a mortar from an entrenched position in a forest or a ruined building. The tracks will make the mortar less mobile than infantry that can cut across terrain except when track navigable terrain is the majority.

A specialized launcher and mortar designed for precision firing with drone targeting may be more accurate than infantry mortars. But mortars aren't meant to be accurate to begin with, they're just for prolonged short range indirect fire mostly to keep enemy infantry from poking their heads up. With an entire spotting system in place to assist the drone mortar targeting, may as well have infantry cooperating with the spotter system instead IMO.

>>
>>533623263
Right but the entire advantage of drone warfare is low cost highly effective and accurate munitions. To make this useful you need a drone in the air anyways. This is literally a pointless step backwards. If you are close enough for mortars use a fucking drone. This is a big expensive target that will last 5 minutes. Before it's comms are jammed and it's destroyed. It's a retard idea

Oh also it's unmanned so it needs to be yelling a fucking signal at the people operating it as it crawls along. So it's a giant fucking glowing slow moving expensive target with minimal range that needs a drone spotter to be effective. Did I say fucking retarded?
>>
>>533623487
A mortar round is a fraction of the cost of a drone. And while counter measures against drones are not currently super effective, they do exist and have the potential to get better. But there's not a whole lot you can do to intercept a mortar.
If a mortar bot can lay down enough fire before it's destroyed, it can wind up being more cost effective than the drone that hits it. Will that be the case for this specific iteration of this idea? Most likely not. But the idea itself can theoretically work. The first tanks were pretty shit too. But people stuck with them and they ended up working out.
Full blown drone warfare is even more about resource management than regular war. If someone can develop a drone that is able to do ten times the damage of a single strike suicide drone for only double the cost, it would be a significant advantage.
>>
>>533623879
No it isn't. Literally everything you think is wrong because you are stupid and don't know anything and just say the first retarded thing you think
>>
>>533622877
Design considerations aside, I'm not really sure what the need for a special mortar drone would be exactly for a role that wouldn't include several of these units operating as some kind of shorter range mobile battery all firing at the same target. Expendable so there are still bombs being hurled at that common target even if one or more units are destroyed.
Arm debate for what it is, which I think is more for pragmatic rather than optimal reasons, I'd imagine first-round hit rate is higher, it can redeploy faster than a team of mortarmen, and can probably open fire more quickly on a new target after receiving a firing vector, then move away from its firing position quickly after firing.

This drone at a glance it seems like both the arm and tube can be stowed when not ready to fire. Its entire purpose seems to be able to use mortars in situations where a mortar team would encounter anti-infantry drones and is probably armored only as much as needed to defeat small arms and fragmentation, and whilst presenting a much smaller silhouette than say a BMP sitting back and using its gun for indirect fire, which apparently is a role that vehicle has often found itself in Ukraine. And removing men from the equation as potential casualties.
Generally, mortars are anti-infantry weapons or for destroying buildings. It's not a tank or IFV, but is like a tiny robotic self-propelled gun(mortar).
>>
>>533623879
Dumb faggot. Plus the drone is more accurate with a better effect on target per round used. The correct counter would have been to point out that the drones often have a mortar round as the payload doubling the cost. But you didn't say that because you are stupid... And again the point is you need to spam mortars because a fucking drone is gauging the effect after it lands not during fire.
>>
>>533623682
Fucking retard, aight nigger go take your big brains to Lockheed Martin, they need geniuses like you.
>>
>>533624127
That's not the direct counter, the price of a mortar system isn't the mortars, it's the launcher, and a mortar launcher can launch as many mortars as you have from area of deployment. A drone selects one target per flight, and likely does not return for reuse. You don't understand what you're talking about, your convincing yourself that how little you understand is more coherent than it is, not convincing others that your idiot beliefs are valid.

>But you didn't say that because
I respected you too much. It should have gone without saying that part of the reason a mortar round is cheaper than a suicide drone is because a drone costs at least as much as the mortar round (or similar explosive) that it is carrying before even factoring in the cost of the drone itself.

Ok Mr.Big Bad Attitude leaf. I think you're hedging your bets a bit too hard on those temu-tier suicide drones, which will encounter ever more effective countermeasures against their use in the future considering they are what's causing much of the stalemate right now.
Not being able to intercept a mortar round after its been fired is indeed a compelling advantage, and in this not-so-distant future when the quadcopter drones face more effective defenses this sort of vehicle will also benefit in survivability from that situation.

Do you seriously believe that the unarmored suicide drones that die immediately to any mobility kill are only going to increase or maintain in their current lethality for a future war when every single military on the planet is seeking decisive countermeasures for them, right now? They're obviously potent, but hurling little bombs out of a metal tube is not going to be vulnerable to whatever is going to emerge to defeat quadcopter drones. Both don't even share quite the same tactical role to be perfectly honest.

Your own slop says they cost in the ball park of 1/5 to 1/10 that of the cheapest suicide drones.

And you've still never addressed what myself and now >>533624802 have brought up about how anything anyone makes to shoot down drones, which every military on Earth is working on, won't work on mortars.

Yes exactly. When both are an option you need to explain what makes mortars worth using.

>>533625081
I've seen flamethrowers and automatic shotguns floated as anti-drone solutions, and I don't think an anti-drone mortar system is going to replace them, but it might be worth looking at as a supplement. I once had an idea for a more advanced mortar system that uses railgun-like tech with a mortar; the idea is that since you're not trying to shoot a round at dozens of kilometers per second, you might not incur rail erosion or a lot of the other problems that hyper-kinetic weapons have, and you could shoot an airburst mortar shell fast enough to have a decent chance at hitting drones. There are other types of superguns besides railguns too, so maybe they'd be worth looking at. But I dunno, maybe this is just retarded.

The use is in situations where expendable assets and low casualties are wanted. But we're talking about mortar warfare here, which usually means both sides are engaged pretty good. So low casualties is out probably, which leaves expendable, loitering, and situations for a specialized accurate mortar. I think in high intensity warfare the opportunities for loitering increases, so these drone mortars might find use.

Another thing is, these drone mortars have to move to rearm because they have a single function. But infantry that run out of mortar shells are still functional infantry.

So shield them retard... As soon as counters improve so do drones. If the vehicle is spotted by a high altitude recon drone the attack drones flight path can be entirely automated. Just put it in a faraday cage. The targeting package ready exists on tomahawk cruise missiles they use onboard preprogrammed flight data to navigate with zero external input... Oh but you can't put that on a drone... You already did that's why Lucas drones cost 35grand. Fucking retards everywhere

Not really sure other than bringing mortars to bear in a situation where a mortar team would be too vulnerable to incidental enemy fragmentation or other area denial anti-infantry weapons. This thing will, at best, have protection around that of a soft skinned vehicle, but that's still more durable than a man, though most of its "protection" will be simply due to it being an indirect fire weapon.
I still think its main design rationale is it potentially being able to shoot and scoot a mortar much more quickly with improved initial hit rate than a team of men and being ever so slightly more resistant to small arms fire and shell splinters/fragmentation than infantry. This thing could have several units of these drones follow an infantry assault to provide indirect fire support from behind whilst not presenting nearly as large of a target as a BMP or BTR and not as vulnerable to lighter weapons as a team of mortarmen.

Right you didn't say why it's the best option you said where you could use it if you had to. Don't. Use drones, rocket artillery, and missiles. Mortars are a thing of the past. That's why they tape them to drones.

Your multimillion dollar gun on a multimillion dollar platform can't aim in 3 directions at once. My 30 thousand dollar drone swarm has 30 drones approaching from all directions simultaneously. Sorry zogbot you dead.
>>
>>533625683
Honestly I think their ubiquitous use of mortar rounds on drones is mostly because they're cheap and already exist stockpiled in the millions. Why use something else if there's already millions of mortar bombs that have been in storage for years?

Mortars aren't going anywhere I think since they can have a significantly larger explosive charge compared to an artillery shell or rocket of the same bore, are incredibly cheap to manufacture compared to artillery shells or rockets, and provide accurate enough indirect fire at short ranges from relatively safer firing vectors since you can fire them at a very high angle from a protected position, like deep in a trench or even from inside a building with a hole in the roof.

Drones accounted for 96% of the 35000 or so casualties this month in Ukraine. Most of the rest was rocket artillery. If mortars were effective at killing being fired on their own they'd be using them. They aren't. Literally that simple.

Why don't they just develop a hopper-fed mortar or something? Seems like it would be more reliable than a robot arm.
>>
>>533625955
>strapping some machine guns together and loading them with airburst rounds costs millions of dollars
And the software development is the expensive part of an automated targeting computer, not the hardware.
And a drone swarm is the single worst idea against something like that. You'd be throwing a flock of ducks at a punt gun. It would completely eliminate the entire cost advantage of drones when dozens of them are getting shot down for a few dollars a piece.
You know what would actually work? A mortar lol.
>>
>>533624736
Drones have really changed the metagame of war. In 2022 when Russia invaded they were non existent. Most of fighting was done with tanks, anti tank weapons, artillery. Russia was making headway using old soviet stockpiles. The west sent in new modern counters. Then FPV drones arrived decimating Russian forces when they were barely taking towns beforehand.

Now the war is at a stalemate with both sides using massive amounts of drones and mines. Russia doesn't even lob ICBMs at Kiev much anymore.
>>
>>533626177
That's probably why they're building this thing since infantry humping a mortar are too vulnerable. Drones deployed from far away can't deliver reactive suppressing fire to moment-to-moment battlefield conditions, but a mortar can. A single mortar also has a significantly higher rate of fire compared to other kinds of explosive ordnance.
I'll go up to bat for mortars too since they're based chad weapons with their grug simplicity whilst drones are gay bugmen weapons for faggots.

I also estimate suicide drone effectiveness will plummet the moment point-defense laser weapons enter the fore in a practical manner, which have been in development for some time now by several militaries. They are all but completely unarmored, extremely vulnerable to mobility kills, and have a rather hard limit on the weight they can carry by their very nature as a cheap quadcopter.

Russians are so butthurt about FPV drones you have no idea. It stalled their invasion and piece by piece tactic right in its tracks. They thought they would roll over Ukraine in tanks like they did to Germany in WW2. It doesn't work that way in modern warfare. Remember Russia had the most tanks in the world and they are useless against drones...

Ukraine stopped Russia by using HIMARS to strategically blow up their fuel depots so Russian tanks had no fuel. And then when Russia adopted small mechanized forces they had drones and just obliterated them.

America has advanced robotics it has been developing for decades. Russians are angry about this too because America is already ahead in the future theater of war that uses robotic forces. America is not only ahead in robotics but AI too. USA just hasn't unleashed this technology on the world yet. Like America could send in robotic armies to completely destroy Iran if it wanted to.

The new dji flycart 200 can carry 200kg. Optical lasers are meme weapons that don't work in inclement weather. Drone tech will keep up with or outpace most counters. They use shitty fpvs because that's what the market had. That is changing quickly

No the main hurdle is still energy density and communication. There is no way to continually coordinate and refuel large swarms of autonomous robots/vehicles. That's why all the larger Chinese ones are gas powered and even worse you guys are fucked on batteries because China controls the rare earth elements you need. Honestly manufacturing and trade relations are your militaries current biggest weaknesses. I don't doubt the ability is there but you would have a fucking hell of a time sustainably fielding it in any large scale conflict

Still unconvincing. They are always going to be slow and retain the exact same vulnerabilities as other classes of suicide drones whilst presenting an even larger target. Not to mention they are still not in the same tactical role as mortar. One might as well remove every machine gun from the battlefield by this sort of flawed rationale, neglecting to remember that suppressing fire and beaten zones are still all too relevant to warfare and tactics.
>>

A tremendous aspect of the current war in Ukraine is simply to kill as many White people as possible, whilst creating chaos in Europe so that land can be sold to Blackrock in order to fill it with niggers because jews are still salty they suffered consequences at the hands of Ukrainian peasants 200 years ago for Tsarist-era famines in The Pale deliberately caused by jewish kahal mafias.
Never forget the primary strategic objective of the current era of geopolitics, which is White genocide. A tremendous bulk of seeming-presented geopolitical maneuvering is simply window dressing and political theatre in order to conceal the prime objective of a globally engineered ethnic extermination under several layers of bullshit.

Aye, and so do countermeasures. Why even bring up that delivery drone if they're simply not in the same class as what you're referring to?
All the drawbacks and vulnerabilities remain in the scenario under discussion. Drones, while potent now will not enjoy that level of effectiveness forever considering those factors. To base your argument on such a brazen assumption seems foolhardy.
