I agree that the "old-fashioned" 82mm would be common in Red Army units by 2000. They're simple, man-portable, and provide units of company and battalion size with effective indirect firepower. If terrorist groups like the IRA and PLO can make their own mortar-type launchers/bombs, then I would imagine it would be relatively easy to continue manufacture mortar ammo after the TDM. v2.2 introduced the shop-built WOJO mortar, capable of firing 81mm (NATO) and 82mm (WARPACT) bombs. Of all the "what-if" weapons of the late Twilight War, I think that the WOJO is one of the more plausible.

I think there's a line somewhere in the v1.0 or v2.2 rulebook that says that the mortar is the most common and widely used indirect fire support weapon in every army come 2000.
