Ukraine uses an American hydraulic frame to deploy M120 mortar
KYIV, UKRAINE — The Ukrainian army receives from the US the M326 Mortar Stowage Kit, which is produced by BAE Systems to facilitate the operation of mortars, as it allows you to speed up the deployment and collapse of the calculation.
This system is easily mounted on the M1101/M1102 trailer, which can be carried by cars or trucks.
The system itself is a hydraulic “frame” that raises and lowers the fully assembled M120 mortar. The company’s vice president states that it can be deployed, fired, and folded in just 3 minutes without the need to disassemble the weapon.
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
On 21 February 2022, Russia claimed that Ukrainian shelling had destroyed an FSB border facility. Russia claimed that it had killed 5 Ukrainian soldiers. They tried to cross into Russian territory. Ukraine denied being involved in both incidents and called them a false flag.
On the same day, the Russian government formally recognized the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR. According to Putin not only in their de-facto controlled areas, but the Ukrainian Oblasts as a whole. Putin ordered Russian troops, including tanks, to enter the regions.
On 24 February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine by Russian Armed Forces previously concentrated along the border. The invasion followed by targeted airstrikes of military buildings in the country, as well as tanks entering via the Belarus border.
Russia has so far not recognized the invasion of Ukraine as a “war”, although that is exactly what it is, claiming that it is a “special military operation”. According to the UN, a “special military operation” can only take place after a UN resolution. There is no such resolution. So this is an invasion and war against Ukraine.
