2B14 Podnos
Encyclopedia
The 2B14 Podnos is a Russian 82mm mortar. The 2B14 was designed in early 1980s as a light indirect fire weapon for the use of airborne and other light infantry forces. 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. The Russians are believed to have about 2,000 in service and 3,000 in storage.
