The Ukrainian Armed Forces has tested a new Ukrainian-made 120-mm mobile mortar complex «Bars-8MMK» during the military exercise at one of the test grounds, as the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine reported.
The mobile mortar complex was created by Ukrainian manufacturers on the base of the Bars-8 armored vehicle. The combat vehicle is equipped with an automated deployment and fire control system.
«The complex can quickly move to the necessary firing point; its computer system allows it to ground positioning itself; the preparation for firing from original position takes just a minute,» said the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov.
According to him, the mobile complex needs around 20 seconds to leave the firing position, avoiding the enemy’s response. Turchinov also said that the ammunition load is 60 mines, and the crew consists of only three people.
«Manufacturers have reached the maximum deployment and stowage speed, the ability to move off-road, the ability to hit the target with high accuracy, and, most importantly, the safety of its use,» said the NSDC Secretary.
