That is twice the caliber as the biggest mortar used by the US army.

Geez, poor bastid that has to hump the ammoo for this thing.

[blueunicorn6]

Big deal.

We put thermal sights on our muskets.

The manner in which the weapon is deployed is fascinating.

I can’t describe it except to say the entire weapon is transferred from the vehicle to the ground.

the photos explain it better.

[Terabitten]

That’s manly.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

They call THAT a "mortar"? Pffttt....THIS is a mortar!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

realistically this is a heavy mortar for destroying fixed positions

Thus rendering the Maginot Line obsolete, once again.

[Salvavida]

I was expecting a towed weapon that can be infiltrated (a la Ukraine-type ops. This will draw serious counter-battery fire.

[glorgau]

It had better be self-propelled as mortar rounds will get almost instantaneous counter battery fire if their oponent has tracking radars running.

Sounds like a GOOD REASON to start a war with them...at least per the Neocons ON THIS SITE.
