The topic I love. Those appear to look as if they could fire in "direct-fire" mode as well. Imagine both barrels pointed your way as you sit in a bunker looking out. Man I'd love to see these in action. Any info on their capabilities/range?

AAI Corporation in the US holds the licence for this system for any US Forces use.

The roll-out of the first two AMOS mortar vehicles took place on Tuesday 28th March 2006 at PWS facility in Vammala. The lower pic is from that occasion.
