Description
The 2B14 Podnos is a Russian 82 mm mortar. The 2B14 was designed in early 1980s as a light, indirect fire weapon for the use of airborne and other light infantry forces. It was developed to replace the older M47 and is lighter and has better range than its predecessor. Despite the intent to field the 2B14 with light infantry units, the 2B14 appears to have been fielded with regular motor rifle units as well at a scale of six per battalion.
