Soviet 120-mm regimental mortar M1938 on wheeled carriage

120mm M1938 Regimental Mortar (known also as PM-38 and 120-PM-38, the index "PM" means "polkovoy minomet" - the mortar for regimental service) is a Soviet mortar, designed by B.I.Shavyrin design bureau and accepted into service in February 1939. A simplified version was created in 1941 (120-PM-41, M1941), and an improved version - in 1943 (120-PM-43, M1943). Nazi Germany produced a nearly direct copy of PM-38 as 12cm Granatwerfer 42; captured Soviet mortars were also issued into service by Finnish and Romanian armies. In post-WW2 era M1943 mortar was used by Soviet Army and widely supplied abroad.
