Historical Context Sidebar
The Soviet 120mm mortar, such as the M-43, was a vital heavy weapon for PAVN artillery units. Deployed during the Vietnam War for both harassment and preparation fires, these mortars allowed North Vietnamese forces to deliver powerful bombardments without needing large artillery pieces. Their use in sieges, ambush preparation, and battlefield disruption was a critical part of PAVN doctrine, especially in prolonged engagements like Khe Sanh and Firebase Ripcord.
