"We have handed over to the Ministry of Defense the next batches of Sani mortars, 2B11 towed mortars and 2B24 light mortars. All the delivered artillery have proven their reliability and effectiveness in combat conditions," Rostec spokesman Bekhan Ozdoev stated.
The Sani system features a high-mobility transport vehicle based on the Ural platform, capable of traveling 1,000 kilometers. It carries a 120 mm 2B11 mortar, which can be unloaded using an electric winch. Sani systems can be used as roaming mortars with constant position changes due to their mobility.
The 82 mm 2B24 mortar is lightweight and intended for infantry units, including mountain infantry.
The 2B11 is a 120 mm mortar designed by the Soviet Union, which entered service in 1981 and is still in use today. The 2B11, weighing 210 kg, is operated by a team of five people. It uses various types of ammunition, including explosive, smoke, illuminating, and incendiary shells, each weighing approximately 16.8 kg. The mortar is mounted on a two-wheeled transport chassis, and is often moved by a GAZ-66 4x4 truck.
