I can imagine that thing was very very inacurate every time it shot.

It’s a bit different. While it uses the same M230LF, the Asgard 230 version has better anti-drone capabilities and modularity. It comes with an integrated radar and the ability to hold missiles. So in hindsight a bit more armored upgrade of the Midgard 230.

But I’d hold on for a bit because the information we have right now is very limited. My info only comes from their post and hearsay from people who distantly worked on this project

Cool! Is there a chance we’ll see any heavy turrets from Valhalla on Eurosatory? Like 35mm or more?

So cool! Came across the picture myself but couldn’t figure out which weapons it has.

With how much domestic stuff you guys have inspired me to make a infantry discussion for Yugoslavia after reading about there domestic small arms industry. Though some of there weapons are copies or not great there all interesting. Some of Croatia’s small arms are death traps to say the least so they should be added!
