A video of the Ukrainian armed forces using American M224 Mortar mine throwers at the front has appeared online. The video shows how the platoon worked on enemy positions in a few minutes, and then packed up and left. Attention! The video contains profanity.

The M224 Mortar is a lightweight 60 mm muzzle-loading, smoothbore company mortar designed for fire support of infantry units. It was developed in 1973. Since then the M224 Mortar has proven its high reliability and effectiveness. It is widely used by Special Operations Forces units, airborne troops and other formations of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. It is operated by 2-4 people. The mortar has a range of up to 3,400 meters (depending on the projectile).
