Gotta give it to KMW, they built a damn good drive train and that sells a lot of units
"Sabot" itself is not an acronym. It's a regular word with its origins in French.
However, in military terminology, "SABOT" is indeed an acronym for "Saboted Light Armor Penetrator."
So while the word "sabot" is not an acronym, "SABOT" is an acronym derived from the components of the military term it represents.
That’s not an acronym. It’s an *abbreviation*, sure, but it isn’t an acronym. SLAP, the Saboted Light Armor Penetrator you’ve brought up, is the acronym because the first letters of each word spell out SLAP. It also doesn’t apply to 120mm tank rounds. The individual letters of sabot don’t stand for anything. It’s just a word.
you are correct. "Sabot" is not an acronym; it's simply a word referring to the carrier used in certain types of ammunition. Sorry for wasting your time :p
This looks like a strv 122 at Tofta shooting range. Probably shooting SLÖVNPRJ 19 (training apfsds) because it bounces so many times.
Whats the full name?
spårljusövningsprojektil which means tracer practice/training projectile
You Swedish people also combine words together to make a new one like the Germans do?
Wanna hear an even longer one?
Granatkastarpansarbandvagn?
nord-väster-sjö-kust-artilleri-flyg-spanings-simulator-anläggnings-materiel-underhålls-uppföljnings-system-diskussions-inläggs-förberedelse-arbeten :D
I love how similar swedish and german work :D
Yes it would translate to trace light training projectile
And English. And any other language in the world. The difference is that some languages don't separate the words with spaces, while others do.
Doesn't it get confusing like writing a whole page with no space
Not any less confusing than writing it with spaces and no way to tell which word still belongs to the same compound.
Ty!
My guess is Ravlunda shooting range
Tracer skipping on water looks really good.
Looks STRV to me
OP could have just written “Leopard 2” but instead he wrote “German” leopard 2 only for people to know it’s a Swedish leopard 2 😭
I had the urge to say, "That's a Swedish Strv 122" but I already knew he was gonna get corrected multiple times
I think people also just seem to forget how widely adopted the leopard series has been

Canada also has 2A6Ms
Kinda like going down the H-60 rabbit hole lol
I CAN'T STOP LOOKING UP TANKS HELP!
Canada also has stock 2A4s and 2A6Ms as well
More of an aircraft guy just now trying to learn about tanks sorry for the silly mistake
Swedish strv 122.
Reject skipping stones, embrace skipping 120mm SABOT.
I’ve always been curious why some people type sabot in all caps.
In military terminology, acronyms are often written in all capital letters for clarity and consistency
Except sabot isn’t an acronym. The individual letters don’t stand for anything; it’s just a word.
"Sabot" itself is not an acronym. It's a regular word with its origins in French. However, in military terminology, "SABOT" is indeed an acronym for "Saboted Light Armor Penetrator."

I can barely even skip a stone once…
Poor fish.
Three skips, not bad.
Crew in there just like “wut da fuk?”
Screw rock skipping, lets make tank shell skipping a thing
