ww2dbase120-PM-43 mortars were introduced into Soviet service in 1943 as an improvement to the older 120-PM-38 design. They were used during the final Soviet push into Germany in the European War, and they would remain in active service in various Communist forces long after WW2. They could each be broken up into three sections for the ease of transport, or they could also be towed by trucks via two-wheeled carriages. Each weapon was usually operated by a crew of six men.
