Hi,
I previously posted this on the large ordnance forum with no real success. I wonder if anyone has some good clear photos of the Soviet WW2 mortar BM-36-82 otherwise referred to as 82mm M1936, which they are willing to share? I am particularly interested in this capture’ mortar which was in use by the Finnish Defence Forces until very recently and known by them as the 82mm KRH36 RT. This is the first Soviet 82mm mortar and I understand that it was a direct copy of the 81mm Brandt Mle. 27/31. Any clear photos showing details of this mortar such as base-plate, bipod or Sights would be very useful. There is a photo of it on the Jaegar Platoon website and one or two fuzzy ones elsewhere on the internet but that seems to be it.
