Two of them did not pass the test - one fell apart even at the fire entrance, the second during the first shot. Also trite fell off the leveling mechanism, there is a photo, and also a photo of a new one! wheelset mount barrel just fell off. After the fifth shot, the mechanism of one of the mortars began to wedge ", - told Topolsky.
