From the Soviet era defector Suvorov concerning the Vasilek automatic mortar:

"In 1971 the 'Vasilek' automatic mortar was issued to the battalions [infantry]. Its automatic weapon is as uncomplicated as the Kalashnikov [AK]. When necessary, it can fire single shots. As an automatic weapon it fires 120 bombs a minute. It differs from all earlier mortars in being capable of both high and flat trajectory fire. It can fire both normal and anti-tank bombs. If necessary, the battalion commander can move his whole mortar battery to a sector threatened by enemy tanks and can shower them with 120 anti-tank bombs a minutes." [all nations than the USA refer to mortar rounds as bombs]

Vasilek being put to good use in the Ukraine Conflict?
