A writeup from a mortarman, @Will_Killmore :

Ukrainians Lathing Mortar Rounds To Fit In American Systems

Interesting footage shows resourceful Ukrainians using a lathe to decrease the diameter of Soviet 82mm mortar rounds down to 81mm so they can be fired from US-supplied M252 mortar systems.

@FunkerActual I wonder what kind of range they get out of those without an obturating band.

@FunkerActual Lathe a mortar for a man, and he will bomb but once. Teach a man to lathe a mortar, and a thousand shells shall fall.

@FunkerActual This is not what “winning” looks like. Ukraine needs to reach a peace deal and stop sacrificing its young.
