There was information about the use of another new type of weapon by the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine. We are talking about mortars for almost silent firing. These are 2B25 "Gall" mortars. They are used primarily by special forces and help to effectively fight the enemy's DRG.
An informed source shared information about the use of Gall mortars with RIA Novosti. He noted that mortars of this type are designed in such a way that unmasking signs are minimized. The sound of the shot is much less loud than when firing from other domestic mortars. As noted, it is more like a clap of hands, because it is extremely difficult to hear it from a long distance.
According to its classification, "Gall" refers to silent portable mortars. Its aiming range ranges from 100 m to 1.2 km.

The caliber is 82 mm. At the same time, the rate of fire can reach 15 rounds per minute. The striking ability of the Galla mine is significantly higher than the mines of Western analogues for silent firing precisely because of its caliber. At the same time, in terms of firing range, the "Gall" loses to some 60-mm mortars of the NATO model.
The use of "Gall" is effective in areas that are dangerous from the point of view of penetration by enemy sabotage groups. In this regard, he has already managed to prove himself in a number of areas of a special military operation.
