While doing military service (sweden) my platoon had a chance to fire off a few STRIX rounds. While the accuracy is impressive for a mortar round, I wouldn't use it against for example a moving target. Still any armored vehicle hit by one of these will be little more that scrap metal. IIRC it took 6 STRIX (2 salvos * 3) mortars to hit 3 static targets at 3-4 kilometers. Two of them were hit with the first salvo. Catching a unit of armored vehicles refueling or receiving an ammo resupply would be ideal....

Exactly, I belive they are intended to be used with the AMOS system. One AMOS-vehicle could put 12 of those at the same coordinates simultaneously, and a battery would be even more lethal.
