60mm Mortar History

Mortars have been used for hundreds of years on the battlefield and for siege warfare. Early mortars were heavy and could not be transported easily. The modern 60mm mortar and similar mortars are more portable. The modern mortar was developed during World War I, and several countries have used versions of the 60mm mortar in modern warfare, during the Cold War, and during World War II

How the 60mm Mortar is Used

The 60mm mortar has a range of 3,500 meters and is used to provide constant and accurate high-angle suppressive fire on enemy targets. The 60mm mortar can fire High Explosive shells, smoke rounds, and illumination rounds. The first step in firing a 60mm mortar is dropping a round into the muzzle. The round then slides down the barrel and strikes the firing pin at the base of the 60mm mortar. The firing pin cartridge explodes, igniting the propelling charge and producing gas pressure that pushes the 60mm mortar round out of the barrel. The mortar round falls to the target after it reaches its flight apex.
