BM-37 (known also under the names M-37 and 82-BM-37) is a Soviet 82mm mortar. It was designed by Nikolay Aleksandrovich Dorovlyov and accepted into service in 1937. The design of the mortar is based on the French Brandt system. The index "BM" means "batalyonny minomet" - the mortar for battalion service. During the World War II and postwar period this mortar was used in large quantities and was withdrawn from service only in 1970s. The BM-37 exists in several modifications, including postwar Chinese Type 53, Egyptian M-69.
Earlier version of 82mm mortar, BM-36, was produced in relatively small numbers. The main visual difference between BM-36 and BM-37 is the shape of the baseplate: square on BM-36 and round on BM-37. Two simplifed wartime versions, BM-41 and BM-43, had arched construction baseplate, styled after 120mm mortar, and removable wheel base.
