The Ukrainian Armed Forces is preparing to adopt an upgraded version of the Molot mortar

The Ukrainian army is preparing to receive a modernized version of the 120-mm Molot mortar. According to the Ukrainian Military Pages, the new version of the mortar should replace the previous version in the troops.

According to the portal, work to improve the mortar was carried out for two years, from the moment of termination of operation due to the death of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Most likely, the new mortar will receive a new name.

Reportedly, the Mayak plant, where the Molot mortars were produced, improved the mechanism for preventing double loading, using in addition to steel and bronze in the design to reduce corrosion and failure of the fuse mechanism due to the effect of temperature.

In addition, the base plate has been replaced with a lighter one that can be used on hard surfaces. The wheel travel mechanism has been improved, the shock absorbers have been replaced with springs, which are considered more durable.

About "Hammer" watch from 22 minutes

Currently, the modernized 120-mm mortar M-120-15 "Molot" is being tested, according to the results of which the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine will make a decision on the adoption of the mortar for service and purchase.

In addition to the modernized "Hammer", 120-mm mortars "Buchard" from the "Starokramatorsky machine-building plant", as well as the "MP-120" mortar from the private company "Ukrainian armored vehicles" are also participating in the tests.

It is noted that due to the protracted testing of domestic mortars, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine decided to purchase a batch of 120-mm EM-120 mortars (analogue 2B11) from Bulgaria.

... the honor to wrap the mortar barrel with duct tape in patriotic zhovto-blakitnyh colors, in order to prevent its rupture, was given to the mortarmen themselves.

Wire first! Generally amazing. During the Second World War, these mortars were produced in any workshop, even a "bed" one ... and then the European "superpower" managed to first release a mortar-killer of the crew, then two years to refine something, then buy from the Bulgarians ...

The pipe was being finalized for two years, you have to be able to do that. And they are also trying to take credit for this shame.

Sickle for .. . Hard, but effective, the "brothers" will wait.
But they could produce Cruisers, tanks, MK missiles, satellites and other high-tech products .. And then the mortar is invented for 2 years and it explodes)))

[Thrifty]

The new mortar has a new name - you must immediately call it "suicide"!

[alexniko77]

No, "NTG - 120", which stands for "the same rake", where 120 is the number of injured people

[Megatron]

Modernized, will kill twice as many APUs?

I am wondering, as a result of the modernization, the double-loading option remained, after a three-liter can of moonshine for the calculation?

dual loading option

How about nose-down loading?

[tralflot1832]

After the second three-liter can of vodka, you can also head down from the first. There is never too much vodka! How is Chicago? BLM does not get it, that everything has suddenly become quiet?

[Revolver]

I don't really care about Chicago, I'm in the suburbs of New York. So I don't even care about New York (a city, not a state). It seems like there was some noise, but no corpses, and that's good. And what a fuck they were to choose a shitcrat as mayor. While the Republican Giuliani was there, crime only decreased from year to year, while De Blasio was growing.

[tralflot1832]

You will have to endure four years of democrats!

[Ded_Mazay]

So interesting...
Is the self-detonation function of this product retained?

[novel66]

moreover - the effect of self-detonation is enhanced

[fn34440]

"ak, interesting ...
Is the self-detonation function of this product retained? "
The previous version was bought by the Commander-in-Chief Gunpowder for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, "Hammers", from itself, at 484 hryvnia apiece.
Features of the new version:

caliber - 120 mm;

weight - 210 kg;

combat rate of fire - up to 12 rounds per minute;

maximum firing range - up to 7 km.

Ukroboronprom plans to put into service the Armed Forces of Ukraine a new mortar by the end of 2020 or in 2021.

[Proton]

Our 2C12 is an excellent option, reliable, unpretentious and, most importantly, inexpensive to operate. SOBom served for 2 years on these systems.
What is there to invent? It is possible to improve a little bit.
Can't they "invent" the bicycle in Ukraine for so many years?

[Tugarin]

We have heard so much about this "Hammer" ... Now in a new wrapper.

The mortar may be quite good, but if bricks and mines are loaded into it, of course, it will explode.

They do not shoot rust and probably sold the missiles and put a zucchini there.

As far as I remember, the MP-120 was tested at the end of this winter. There were minor jambs and they were fixed. Why retests?

As a result of the modernization, even more ukrozoldaten will go with a report on their arrival to Bandera and Shukhevych, keep it up!

[rotmistr60]

work to improve the mortar was carried out throughout two years

Have you been improving a simple pipe welded from one end for two years? Of course, not everyone can do it, and besides, it should be fast and efficient (sarcasm).

With the purchase of Bulgarian mortars, another GREAT ZRADA (betrayal) and corruption hype:
Specialized experts argue that the Bulgarian company is mainly engaged in the modernization and repair of outdated types of weapons. It does not have its own technologies and production facilities. There are rumors in Ukraine that the deal was personally lobbied by Deputy Defense Minister Oleksandr Mironyuk. Previously, he oversaw trade with partners from Bulgaria, and is personally interested in the new deal. The scandal surrounding the purchase of Bulgarian mortars erupted after it became known that the EM-120 did not have international certification and were not even in service with the manufacturing country. Ukrainian experts are convinced that a corruption scheme is involved in this case. They believe that this clever move will replace the scandalous Hammer with another low-quality mortar, possibly at a higher price.
The Bulgarian EM-120 mortar is a copy of the Soviet 2B-11.
The situation with the purchase of Bulgarian mortars once again demonstrates the problems of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine. Soviet reserves are gradually running out. To organize the release of their own products often does not work. In these conditions, Ukraine is forced to purchase weapons abroad, and, as a rule, we are talking about the acquisition of old models.

[Kot_Kuzya]

Hehe. The non-brothers have completely degraded. Even an elementary mortar cannot really be made, and this is technology of the 30s of the last century. And they still think of themselves as "sluggish", capable of building aircraft and missiles. Ugh on you benderlogs! Ride the right way! Give Somalia in the center of Europe!

There are also lads who have not blown off the eggs? Well, well ...

[Xenofont]

Apparently, the barrel was made with notches, as in the F-1, to increase the damaging effect for the calculation. You need to patent, otherwise you will get the know-how.

[askort154]

"According to the Ukrainian Military Pages, the new version of the mortar should replace the previous version in the troops.

It is clear! The Hammer did not fit into NATO standards. Too much destructive force for his "servants".
But the "Ukrainian military page" is already ready! Moved from Ukrainian surzhik to English.

[Alien From]

These guys are looking for adventure for themselves ...

[Machete]

What have they modernized for two years? You just need to improve the quality of the metal and that's it.

[Mavrikiy]

Dear Admins!
Why are you brainwashing us? We are forced to watch a video about the hydrological revolution, Zelenskiy, a peremog and other ....... About the mortar 20-00 - 25-00.

The wheel travel mechanism has been improved, the shock absorbers have been replaced by springs, which are considered more durable.

The primitiveness and quality of this mechanism is amazing!

But two years and a defense plant !!! Shock

It will explode even faster.

[iouris]

Given the high aggressiveness of aggression, one could expect the adoption of two mortars at once: "Sickle" and "Hammer".

[sergej987]

Shock absorbers for springs. "This is truly a new word in science and technology! Pfu at you again."

[Incvizitor]

The successes of the old do not allow them to live, they have more hammers and so that everyone is torn.

[Amba412]

More hammers. Different and scary! A question for those who are in the subject. Isn't the barrel rupture related to the BP? Well, the expelling charge worked, the mine should only get up on the combat platoon after exiting the barrel. If so, why do the hammers break ??????

[Prisoner]

"Most likely, the new mortar will receive a new name." Probably Thresher. After modernization, it will bring down and thresh not only its own calculation and its neighbors.
