, or lack thereof, has been a focal point in the conflict so far. To combat this has ramped up local ammunition manufacturing. The country produced twice as many and rounds last month as it did in all of 2022.

💙💛 Several photos posted by the combatants of Russian Forces display that the RuAF started to operating 120ER mortar bombs originally produced by Myanmar (Burma).

💙💛 Soldiers of the 60th Separate Mechanised Ingulets Brigade talk about their role in a mortar team. The team has to be well united and synchronised, as the success of fire support and the safety of their own troops depend on it.

💙💛 A recent photo of 120mm mortar bombs, currently owned by combatants of Ukrainian Forces.

The mortar bombs appear to be Italian "Nr.3" mortar bombs. They are seemingly made in 1983 and possibly supplied by Italy to UAF in March or later.

💙💛 A quite interesting and recent photo posted by a combatant of Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The photo shows a 120mm MMY03 (HE-843B) mortar bomb produced by Sudan. It was made in 2022 or 2023; some time before the coup attempt in the country.

It was possibly purchased & supplied by a 3rd party.

The mortar appears to be used for harassing fire and uses a rifled sleeve dropped into he tube to fire the round.
