The Russians installed a mortar 2B11 in the Shishiga body: a new handicraft weapon at the front (video)

To spread: the Russian military continues to adapt old equipment to the current conditions of war. This time a video with a new makeshift solution appeared on the network: 120-mm a mortar of the Soviet sample 2B11 is installed in the body of the legendary Army truck GAZ-66, known under the nickname "Shishiga". Judging by the frames, Kung is mounted on the truck chassis, similar to the army DDA-66 or AC-66, writes "militaristic" analysts.

However, it is noticeably different from the outside - there are no windows, side doors and technical hatches. Such layout complicates the recognition of the machine from the air, especially if it is additionally covered with a masking mesh or equipped with an antitrone "barbecue". Obviously, the Russians try to mask a self -propelled mortar under a conventional army truck, which is used on the front.

A 120-mm mortar 2B11 is installed inside the kung with a factory folding mechanism and a support slab. The exact volume of ammunition and the speed of deployment of the installation is difficult to determine - the video contains installation bonds. There is also no data on how many such machines are manufactured and what company. "It is likely that such a machine is not one, and the mechanism can be installed on another chassis," experts said.

The Soviet 120-mm mortar 2B11, developed in the late 1970s by the Nizhny Novgorod Central Central Executive Central Committee, was adopted in 1981 as an independent system. The advantages of construction - simplicity, cheapness and possibility of mass production, which made it possible to quickly re -arry regimental units. The mortar weighs 210 kg, is serviced by a calculation of five people and is able to fire all standard mines of 120 mm caliber, including fragmentation, smoke and lighting.

Shooting range - from 480 m to 7. 1 km. Of particular interest is the corrected mine of KM-8 "line" with laser guidance, which allows to impress targets at a distance of up to 9 km with high accuracy. Installation of 2B11 in the body trucks is an attempt to give the mobility system and increase secrecy. Theoretically, such a machine can quickly change positions and fire from closed fire points.
