Ukrainian "Hammer" returns to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Ukrainian mortar "Molot" returns to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As reported by the Ukrainian Military Pages, the Mayak plant, the mortar manufacturer, is starting the procedure for adopting the Hammer into service.

It has been almost a year that our team has been preparing for the procedure of putting into service the M-120-15 "Molot" mortar. We understand all the responsibility, considering everything that happened to the Hammer in the past

- the press service of the plant says.

The fact that the modernized version of the Molot mortar is undergoing state tests was reported in early November last year. As reported, "Mayak" has been working to improve the design for two years. At the plant, the mechanism for preventing double loading was finalized, using bronze in the design in addition to steel 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.

Recall that the 120-mm mortar "Molot" was approved for use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2015, but due to numerous incidents with the mortar leading to the death of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it was decided to remove it from service. According to the official data of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, 13 Ukrainian soldiers were killed by the Hammer.

Earlier it was assumed that the modernized version of the mortar will also receive a new name so as not to cause negative associations among the Ukrainian army, however, if it is adopted, it will go to the troops under the same name.

Now again being a mortar gunner in the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be worse than a sapper

The Soviet reserves are over, but they want to fight, the hammer-widowmaker will help them.

Ukrainian mortar "Hammer"

The title is powerful, of course. Only in essence - regimental 120 mm... They would say that they themselves cannot come up with anything new.
Although what is there to invent? In the 80s, everything was invented in the Soviet Union - nothing new can be invented here. The mortar is not a machine gun. A pipe with a needle and nothing new ...
Another "peremoga" ukroVoenprom based on the Soviet 70-80s ... But the bvlo Kharkiv KB, Dnepropetrovsk ... Where did they kill everything?

[Eldorado]

Better "Widows Supplier" like a Porsche 911, not "Widowmaker"!

We will wait for reports of an emergency in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

'"Good news" for vsushniki and natsiks! There was a mortar "Hammer", and now the new version is called "Suicide"!

Yes, let him return, he is great on the mindless Bandera thrashing.

Due to the fact that with a lousy financial situation in the country, there are too many applicants for payments from "ATO participants".

[Vol4ara]

Explain how you can charge the mortar 2 times?

[Incvizitor]

There probably is no fuse against double loading, and when drunk, they charge the second mine constantly.

This fuse, apparently, was modified and installed. And what to do? The instinct works - there is still a place - go there more. One chibe, one mine.

[Vadim237]

Apparently these fuses work every other time.

this is the Soviet secret information of the General Staff of the Armed Forces

And this is our know-how. You charge it 2 times, and the third time it explodes.

[novel66]

quickly, quickly, if you hurry, then three times

[Proton]

It goes something like this.
They are firing a battery (8 guns), at a firing distance between mortars of about 15-20 meters. Rapid fire is being conducted, every 2-3 seconds a shot is heard from a gun. The roar is serious, all the numbers of the calculation are semi-muffled. Commands are only given only with a roar, on the fire all movements only by running.
The loader grabs the mine and carries it to the gun, he has no idea whether his gun fired or not. He lowers the mine into the barrel, and the previous mine is in the barrel (prolonged shot, breakage of the trigger cable, injury to the crew number, or something else).
If you fire a shot after that, it may all end in disaster.
The double-loading fuse prevents the second mine from being dropped into the barrel.
The only thing is that this mechanism prevents the mortar from taking "childbirth".

[bessmertniy]

You need to drink less ... You need to drink less. The mortar bifurcates. You have to charge both. And so the mortarmen are thrown back.

[Thrifty]

Volchara is a mortar with a casten loading, three mines enter at once, the third, of course, is superfluous, and she bangs. ...

[Votterase]

Elementary. There are two types of shooting - with a cord and a pin. If a misfire occurred when shooting with a line, then in a fever it happens and the second is thrown into the barrel. Yes, and when it is punctured, the mine does not instantly fall on the drummer. If for 120 mm it is still problematic to throw two in a row into the svol, after all, both the weight and it must be raised quite high, then 82 mm - two fingers on the asphalt

The blockheads, at least they changed the name. As they say, whatever you call the yacht, so it will float.

Right! The soldiers will immediately think, it might be better to surrender immediately than to hit the Hammer.

[APASUS]

13 people were sent to Bandera and this is called in Ukrainian - minor flaws! How filthy the system is

[tralflot1832]

And the Hammer was tested in a situation as close to combat as possible, that is, after using a liter per brother, fire a dozen shots!

[Slipper 2]

Good news, you give the gang of xoxlov to the minus

[cniza]

Here are restless, few of them killed people ...

[rocket757]

Probably not enough, this product, grind its own ??? They want to continue counting.

[Mikhail m]

Military operation revealed significant shortcomings. Deficiencies have been eliminated, protection from the fool has been enhanced. I don't see any reason for the hakhanki, the weapon is quite serious.

[Rose capone]

The devil's dozen dead from their own weapons is symbolic. Shaitan to help these zombies.

[Yaro Polk]

Good car.

[Freedim]

The new version had to be called Thor, and mine the Hammer ... And so that it always returned.

[alien308]

Stock up popcorn? Have you straightened the barrel?

[Kerensky]

And what about NATO standards?

[mag nit]

Self-destruct mortar.

[Viktor Sergeev]

Excellent mortar, regularly destroys ATOs.

[Vadim237]

Let's see what theirs Bogdans will do with the personnel.

[garik77]

A very correct decision. I approve. In each Ukropskoe bandit formation it is necessary to put a hundred pieces.
Good weapon, guide. And most importantly, when you shoot with you, the "warriors of the world" are taken to the next world!
