Need some google-fu help
 
Does anyone have any kind of details on what the Iraqis were using as mortar carriers pre-OIF? I know they used 120mm mortars mounted on MT-LBs, 82mm on BTR-152s, and a few 82mm mounted on Type 63 chassis. And that mutant 120mm carrier with five mortars on it. But I have virtually no details -- not even things like the onboard ammo carried, how many crewmen, or even a little thing like weight. I have some pictures from the 'Net, but they're almost all exterior shots.

I think I've used every iteration of "Iraqi Mortar Carriers/vehicles/transport" and suchlike I can think of. I've been poring through my books for about a week. So, I'm yelling help here.

I had no luck either. What about mortar carriers made by groups other than the Soviets?

Sorry; I saved the link for possible future use, but that one wasn't what I was looking for.

Something in here might be helpful. I haven't read through all the links.

Haven't gone through all of them yet either. Whether or not it has what I'm looking for, it looks like a gold mine of information.
