BTW BTW weird what you can find on YouTube

It's a Russki street fighter (120MM semi-mortar) designed coz of
Afghanistan & esp Chechnya/Grozny & just what we all need (on a
wheel chassis preferably)

Bizarre to find a long piece on it on You tube (good for your russian).

Note at 8:11 how the external machine gun can be controlled from inside.
Summat wotz just being retrofitted to your armoured beasties.
