Mortar training is set to become more accessible for the Armed Forces of Ukraine thanks to a full-sized system that replicates the form, weight, and functions of a real mortar.
L7 Simulators’ new solution is designed to build muscle memory across key mortar operations, including loading, aiming, and firing, without exposing troops to live fire or consuming ammunition.
It is also networked to allow coordinated training with other units, enabling infantry and forward observers to operate alongside mortar crews in a shared simulated environment.
This setup supports both individual skill development and larger-scale collective training for units working with mortar systems.
The simulator is compatible with 82mm mortar platforms, including the Ukrainian-made KBA-48M1 and UPIK-82 launchers.
“The simulator is designed to practice the full cycle of combat work of a mortar crew without the use of live mines — from aiming and adjustment to deployment, collapse of the position, and technical maintenance of weapons,” the company told Mezha Defense.
Training Modes
The system includes multiple training modes designed to replicate operational conditions, including a combat mode for direct and indirect fire practice.
An autonomous mode focuses on core procedures such as deployment, repositioning, maintenance, and full sequence execution until actions become automatic.
Soldiers can repeat drills continuously without equipment wear or the need for live-fire ranges, helping reinforce muscle memory for combat conditions.
L7 Simulators said the 82mm system is also compatible with its wider training ecosystem, opening the possibility for battalion-level coordinated exercises.
