JGSDF 120mm Mortar RT w/ Tractor (HMV)

The 120 mm Type 74 mortar is a towed mortar system used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF). It was developed and manufactured by Japan Steel Works and has been in service since 1974.
The Type 74 is a towed mortar, meaning it has spiral rifling inside the barrel that imparts spin to the projectile upon firing. This spin improves accuracy.
The 120 mm Type 74 mortar can fire various projectiles, including high-explosive, smoke, and illumination rounds.
It has a maximum range of approximately 7,500 meters and a rate of fire of up to 20 rounds per minute.
The Type 74 is a highly mobile system with a crew of six and can be quickly assembled and disassembled. The mortar is typically towed by a four-wheel-drive vehicle (4x4).
It is used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) and has also been deployed in peacekeeping missions abroad.
The system is considered reliable and precise and has been in service for over 40 years.
