Recently, a contract was signed with Ukraine's Defense Ministry for the supply of these munitions, so the Ukrainian military will receive them soon," the ministry announced.
"Ukroboronprom" did not name the NATO country with which the contract was signed.
It is emphasized that the 120-mm mortar can hit targets at a distance of up to 7 kilometers and, with modern ammunition – at a distance of more than 8 kilometers.
"Ukroboronprom" State Concern also stressed that the 120-mm mortar is one of the most widespread types of artillery weapons in Ukraine and is actively used by the Armed Forces.
