The expert named the combination of mobility and crew safety as the key difference between the Drok. These mortars can “wander”, aim at coordinates, fire and leave.
In this case, the mortar is most likely loaded from the breech, as the gun fires directly. The firing range of the “Drok” is 6 km with 82 mm shells. This is probably achieved by an increased propellant charge.
“A combination of crew mobility and safety. Have you heard such a phrase – “circulating mortars”? It is very convenient to jump to any point on the map, to known coordinates, aim and shoot. In a minute or two I made and fired the maximum number of shots, ”said Alexei Sukonkin.
