Russia’s Silent Mortar in Ukraine

10 months ago I wrote an article about Russia’s little-known ‘silent’ mortar - the 2B25. It ammunition uses a captive piston system combined with the spigot mortar principle to minimise its sound signature - so much so a Russian soldier who has been training with one in Ukraine described it as no louder than a hand clap.

The first murmurs of its use in Ukraine came in the summer but not we have numerous photos and videos of Russian troops of one unit training with the ‘silent’ mortar. Check out my video examining the new imagery below:
