Are the army units still equipped with grenades or mortars?

The Yankee’s M224 is awesome, firing more than 20 rounds per minute, 60mm, equipped to the company.

Chinese PP89 60mm light mortar. This gun is widely equipped in our army's companies and is our country's second-generation semi-mortar. Caliber: 60 mm, gun weight: 5.25 kg, maximum range 2700 meters, bomb weight: 1.33 kg, rate of fire: 30 rounds/min, bomb density: distance 1/100, direction 1/200. The PP89 60mm mortar has the advantages of light weight, good density, good stability of the frame, and easy use in service, but its maximum range is still too close to the US military's 60mm mortar.

PP93 60mm long-range mortar.

This gun is the latest generation of mortar developed by our country (it can also be equipped to infantry companies). The PP93 60mm long-range mortar is an important weapon for our army’s mountain infantry, airborne troops and marines. The ideal suppression artillery for fast mobile troops has the advantages of simple structure, light weight, high firepower, long range, and good maneuverability. Its various tactical and technical indicators have reached or exceeded the level of similar weapons in the world. Its successful development marks The research and development capabilities of domestically produced mortars are already at the world's leading level.

Chinese 82mm mortar

Compared with other caliber mortars, the 82mm caliber mortar has the most types, and the most advanced one is undoubtedly the PP87 82mm Mortar. This type of gun was designed and finalized in 1987 and put into mass production in 1998. The gun body, ammunition, fuze and propellant are all made of advanced materials and processes, so its main combat technical indicators have reached a high level. The main characteristics of this gun are: 1. Long range. The maximum range is 4.66 kilometers when using the No. 6 charge, and 5.7 kilometers when using the long-range charge. This is the longest range of the 82mm mortar. 2. Fast shooting speed. It can fire 30 rounds per minute, 5 more rounds than mortars of the same series. 3. Hit accurately. The distance calculation deviation is 1/150, and the direction calculation deviation is 1/300. It can be seen from the above that the performance of the Type 87 82mm mortar is extremely excellent.

100mm mortar

The 100mm mortar was developed in the late 1960s in response to the Chinese army's need for a larger-caliber mortar that was easier to maneuver. of. The earliest Type 71 100mm mortar has a maximum range of 4.7 kilometers, a minimum range of 170 meters, a rate of fire of 15-20 rounds per minute, a calculated distance deviation of 1/130, and a calculated direction deviation of 1/300. Combat Total weight is 74.5 kg. The gun is known for its good performance and high accuracy. Subsequently, the Type 80 100mm mortar was designed and finalized, using extensively high-strength steel, titanium alloy and aluminum alloy materials, with a total weight of only 52 kilograms. In the late 1980s, the PP89 100mm mortar was developed. This is the most advanced artillery in the 100mm mortar series. Although its total weight is 4 kilograms heavier than the Type 71, its range has been increased. 37%, reaching 6.4 kilometers, which is very popular among the troops.

120mm mortar

The Chinese Army’s 120mm mortar started out as a copy of the former Soviet Union’s Type 55 120mm mortar, and it began to develop it in the 1960s. The new artillery is mainly to solve the problems of simplifying the structure of the artillery, reducing weight, and ensuring the stability of shooting, thus designing and finalizing the Type 64 120 mm mortar. Compared with the Type 55, the Type 64 has lost 101 kilograms to 174 kilograms, making it a lightweight mortar designed by China. However, the most advanced one is the W86 120mm mortar. This kind of artillery has been comprehensively and systematically researched and designed from the barrel to the ammunition. The total weight of the gun is 206 kilograms. Compared with the Type 64, although the weight has increased by 18%, the range has increased by 36%, reaching 7.7 kilometers. The power is significantly increased, thereby increasing the suppressive firepower intensity of the regiment's artillery.

Type 64 120mm Mortar

In 1964, the first large-caliber mortar developed by China was finalized and named the 1964 Type 120mm Mortar. The gun uses a trapezoidal structure instead of the traditional disc-shaped seat plate. The total weight of the gun is only 174 kilograms, which is 101 kilograms lighter than the imitation Su-55 120 mortar.
