Vasilyok mortar crews in action Crews of nomadic 82-mm automatic mortars Vasilyok of the Western Military District continue to perform fire missions in the Kupyansk direction. The reconnaissance of the West group of troops received information about the build-up of enemy forces in the direction, so the military personnel used the 82-mm automatic mortar Vasilyok as a means of fire destruction of strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Mortar crews travel in off-road vehicles, which allows them to quickly change their firing position, choosing the most suitable places for striking and avoiding possible return fire from the enemy, who is hunting for our fire weapons. They prepare for shooting quickly. They use a compass and aim. No more than three minutes for everything. And a hail of mines falls on the enemy. The crew’s fire is adjusted using an unmanned aerial vehicle. The correctly chosen rate of fire allows to conduct both harassing fire and keep up to 10 km of the front in suspense with one calculation, and conduct targeted suppressive fire. Every time a mortar crew risks their lives while performing combat work. After all, the enemy is within easy reach. Vasilyok can fire up to 120 mines per minute and fire along a flat trajectory. Even when firing automatically, the mortar has high firing accuracy. Join Military Wave Источник: Military Wave
