First time I have seen mortar mounted on an APC. Anyone have a more detailed pics of it?

No pictures, but I believe that is a 120mm mortar. Good stuff. Nice photo.

The M106 Mortar Carrier variant of the M113 APC has been in use since Vietnam:

british apcs rule!

the patria amos is what the us needs as a supplement on the styker and maybe on the bradley?
it's been mentioned before but:
"Firing 26 dual-purpose cargo rounds each in 60 seconds, six vehicles can put a total of 156 rounds at the same target. Of these the first 14 from each vehicle (84 rounds total) would hit at the same time. At an altitude of 400 meters above the target, these 156 rounds would disperse over an area of 60 X 100 meters in an X - pattern. In 60 seconds the target area would be showered with a total of 4992 (2688 submunitions within the first few seconds) dual-purpose shaped-charge / anti-personnel submuinitions, each of which are powerful enough to cut through the roof on a Main Battle Tank or any Armored Personnel Carrier, with the shrapnel ripping through unprotected personnel, vehicles, equipment and exposed vehicle sights, rangefinders and thermal imagers. 4992 bomblets in 6000 m2 means nearly one bomblet per square meter average."
