Chaimite V-600 Mortar Carrier

Notes: The basic form of this vehicle is a Chaimite V-200 with an 81mm or 82mm mortar fitted in the passenger compartment, firing to the rear. The 81mm mortar is fitted to most of these vehicles; the 82mm mortar equips the V-600s used by Libya.

The version with a 120mm mortar is the same as the V-600 81/82mm, except that the chassis is a longer 6x6 version, and the mortar carried is a 120mm TDA or Bloc mortar. The 120mm Bloc mortar version is used by Libya; the 120mm TDA mortar version is used by the other countries using the V-600 120mm.

The variant of the V-600 with a 160mm mortar was built only for Libya, who uses them with its M-1953 mortars. It is further enlarged over the V-600 120mm, being an 8x8 chassis to cope with the huge mortar, along with a more powerful engine.
