OVERVIEW
With mortars being organic to any decent infantry unit, the old 2B14 Podnos mortars from the Soviet era were nearing the end of their lives in the 2000's era, having seen constant use through two wars. Although 82mm ammunition is produced in Lauzanne, the time called for a new mortar developed and manufactured indigenously.
the BM-82 is another Blanchard Manufacturing product, a mortar with lighter weight, faster takedown/setup, and easier transportation compared to it's successor, it has enjoyed popularity in the LDF for these very reasons. As of 2021, there are six mortars per infantry battalion.SPECS
