Heavy self-propelled Mortar 203 mm

ТSMB 203 mm – Heavy Self-Propelled Mortar 203 mm is short range artillery system designed to launch heavy effectors and thanks to balistically protected armored cabin and high level of automation resulting in rapid „shoot and scoot “capability, those achieving the desired level of survivability on the modern battlefield.

The effector set includes HE and “bunker-buster” shells with a mass 2.5 times greater that of a standard 155 mm howitzer shell and an explosive charge 4 times larger, made with latest-generation thermobaric explosive compositions—which provides very high level of firepower. The weapon can also fire extended-range, rocket-assisted shells.

The power of individual rounds, combined with a Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) with which the system can be equipped, enables swift, successful fire missions with a small number of rounds fired (even a single round) before leaving the firing position for safety, whereas other classical systems would require a larger volume of fire and extended time exposed.

The TSMB M-25 is mounted on the FAP 2026 all-terrain 6×6 chassis and equipped with a modern fire-control system (FCS) comprising an inertial navigation system, a ballistic computer with dedicated software, a radio device, and a gunner’s computer.

The main armament is a 203 mm gun-mortar, characterized by high accuracy at ranges of 6 to 12 km.
