Ukraine sets up 82mm Mortar Shells Plant in NATO Country

Ukraine’s state-owned Ukroboronprom has started serial production of improved 82-mm mortar rounds at a facility of one of the NATO member countries.

“It is noteworthy that the mine improved by Ukroboronprom is many times better than the regular one,” the company said. “The number of lethal fragments recorded during the tests on the shields of the targets and on the site of the target situation is 2-2.5 times more than the standard mine should have. The size and shape of the fragments are also better than standard ones.”

Thus, according to the standard, during the rupture of a standard mine, the number of fragments that should hit the target at a distance of 5 meters should reach 198 units, at a distance of 10 meters - 70 units, and at a distance of 15 meters - 41 units. The ammunition, improved by the specialists of Ukroboronprom enterprises, has 460, 140 and 69 fragments, respectively. 

The 82-mm artillery fragmentation mine is designed to destroy enemy personnel from a mortar at a distance of up to 4,500 meters.
