2B9M/MT-LB Mortar Carrier
Notes: This Hungarian vehicle is based upon the MT-LB, and is fitted with drop rear sides and a Vasilyek automatic mortar in the rear. The MT-LB chassis has a more powerful and fuel-efficient engine and larger fuel tanks. The 2B9M also has a laser rangefinder (for direct fire), and equipment that measures meteorological data, vehicle attitude, target distance, and target coordinates. A computer that allows fire within 2 minutes after a stop coordinates this. It is not known whether this vehicle was designed for export or for the Hungarian Army.

2B9M/BMP-1 Mortar Carrier
Notes: This is another Hungarian Vasilyek carrier, this time based upon the chassis of the BMP-1. The turret has been removed, and a raised superstructure has been added that runs from the rear to the middle of the vehicle. Inside the rear of the vehicle is the Vasilyek, which fires forward. This mortar carrier also has the same fire-control equipment and computers that the 2B9M/MT-LB has.
