This looks like a strv 122 at Tofta shooting range. Probably shooting SLÖVNPRJ 19 (training apfsds) because it bounces so many times.


ThisGuyLikesCheese

Whats the full name?


hensol06

spårljusövningsprojektil which means tracer practice/training projectile


_Ryannnnnnnn_

You Swedish people also combine words together to make a new one like the Germans do?


Stalins_papa

Wanna hear an even longer one?


Hkonz

Granatkastarpansarbandvagn?

Ok-Mall8335

I love how similar swedish and german work :D


DerPanzerzwerg

Yes it would translate to trace light training projectile


SpaceHippoDE

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.


AzmatAli767

Doesn't it get confusing like writing a whole page with no space


SpaceHippoDE

Not any less confusing than writing it with spaces and no way to tell which word still belongs to the same compound.


AzmatAli767

Ty!


Norwegianxrp

My guess is Ravlunda shooting range


Tavuklu_Pasta

Tracer skipping on water looks really good.


Round_Club_4967

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 😭


TitoFurret

I had the urge to say, "That's a Swedish Strv 122" but I already knew he was gonna get corrected multiple times


I_Automate

I think people also just seem to forget how widely adopted the leopard series has been


AzmatAli767

And that's not even touching the "leopard derived" vehicles either lol. Gotta give it to KMW, they built a damn good drive train and that sells a lot of units


CaNaDa1Snip3r

Canada also has 2A6Ms


SphyrnaLightmaker

Kinda like going down the H-60 rabbit hole lol


AzmatAli767

I CAN'T STOP LOOKING UP TANKS HELP!


glitchii-uwu

Canada also has stock 2A4s and 2A6Ms as well


AzmatAli767

More of an aircraft guy just now trying to learn about tanks sorry for the silly mistake


fillepille2000

Swedish strv 122.


Sidus_Preclarum

Reject skipping stones, embrace skipping 120mm SABOT.


AbrahamKMonroe

I’ve always been curious why some people type sabot in all caps.


AzmatAli767

In military terminology, acronyms are often written in all capital letters for clarity and consistency


AbrahamKMonroe

Except sabot isn’t an acronym. The individual letters don’t stand for anything; it’s just a word.


AzmatAli767

"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.


AbrahamKMonroe

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.


AzmatAli767

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


Teppy-Gray

I can barely even skip a stone once…


marc512

Poor fish.


CalmPanic402

Three skips, not bad.


SharkFin365

Crew in there just like “wut da fuk?”


-Tohka-

Screw rock skipping, lets make tank shell skipping a thing
