More like a howitzer than a mortar once you reach that size
Good stuff

My friend was the commander of the mortar. He said that it is very accurate and deadly weapon.

2S4 Tyulpan, Soviet self-propelled mortar.
The crew consists of four men, but an extra five are required to operate the mortar. This has a range of 9,650 m but an extended range munition exists with a possible range of 20,000 m. Due to the large size of the weapon and the weight of the ammunition (130 kg for a standard projectile) it has a slow rate of fire: one round per minute. In addition to the high explosive bombs, it can fire armour-piercing, chemical and nuclear rounds. It can also fire the "Smel'chak" (daredevil), a laser-guided round.

when does it become artillery and stops being a mortar?

[SATX]

Would it even qualify as a mortar if it's a breechloader?

[reddog13]

looks like a magnet for steel and tungsten...too slow and complicated to me..and i don't know shit...why wouldn't artillery or missile work better

In today's day and age of technology,this weapon Is really obsolete. Unless you are In Syria,Africa,or any other third world country

[serpa6]

[Rhntz]

We use them today because the countries we are up against can't defend them and all are to say the least third world????
