Description
81 mm Mortar M81MA NSN: 1015-50-000-7414
The 81 mm Mortar M81MA is used to support its own military units using indirect fire. The curved trajectory allows the rounds to rain down from above, directly on troops, vehicles, buildings, battlements etc. that are in defilade or out of line of sight for firing. Average kill radius of the 81 mm mortar round is 35 meters and the concussion from the impact alone is enough to destroy multiple targets. Using multiple M81MA units at once and firing different types of rounds can be extremely devastating to the enemy. At night they can also provide illumination to help with target identification. Intended for battalion level use in fortified positions to provide support from up to 6200 meters (3.85 miles) away.
