The 2B9 Vasilek (Cornflower) is an automatic 82 mm gun-mortar developed in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and subsequently fielded in the Soviet Army. Unlike conventional mortars, the 2B9 can fire in automatic mode using four-round clips, and rounds can be loaded from either the muzzle or the breech. Because of its wheeled carriage, the 2B9 resembles a light artillery piece more than a conventional mortar.
Very useful for Pakistan soldiers in fighting WOT in northern areas

Thnx for the replies; but they can't be regarded as equivalents in any sense. Remember my posted weapon is meant to be carried by foot soldiers...

Foot soldiers?? It weights 632 kg!

Some Vasileks were mounted on MT-LB transporter. In this version they are very similar to AMOS.
