Vietnam Army's new military technology is a mortar with a range of 10 km. Understand how this new semi-automatic mortar can revolutionize the global industry.
The Vietnamese Army took another step towards modernizing its defense by introducing a new 100mm semi-automatic mortar during the last Vietnam Defence Expo, held in Hanoi. Designed to be fitted to light vehicles, the 10km range mortar combines tactical efficiency, cutting-edge military technology and mobility, highlighting the growing capabilities of the country's defense industry.
Vietnam Army's New Semi-Automatic Mortar Fires 10 Times Per Second
With entirely national production, military technology reflects the country's ambitions to consolidate its strategic autonomy and expand its relevance in the international arms market.
The mortar with a range of 10 km is capable of firing up to 10 rounds per minute, and stands out for its lightweight design and ease of use. This innovation is an affordable solution for a variety of tactical scenarios.

Weighing just 1,5 tons, the light weight of the new semi-automatic mortar allows for easy transportation and rapid installation on vehicles, offering a highly mobile and efficient solution for various tactical scenarios.
The new mortar technology with a range of 10 km also integrates advanced semi-automatic control, which optimizes accuracy and performance in Army operations, even in adverse conditions.
The creation and production of this mortar system are the result of the work of the Technology Institute, linked to the General Department of Industry National Defense of Vietnam. This institution has played a key role in advancing the military technology of the Vietnam Army, utilizing cutting-edge engineering expertise to meet international standards.
New semi-automatic mortar prioritizes simplicity and economy
Although the 100mm mortar has a smaller caliber compared to international competitors such as Thales’ 2R2M, Poland’s Rak and Finland’s Nemo, it stands out for its lightness and superior mobility for the Vietnamese Army. While these countries’ 120mm models offer greater range and impact, they are generally heavier and less agile.
For example, Vietnamese military technology, weighing in at 1,5 tons, is ideal for light vehicles, while Rak and Nemo prioritize automatic loaders and advanced features such as MRSI (Multiple Shot Simultaneous Impact).
Furthermore, when compared to more robust systems such as Sweden's Mjölner and Russia's 2S9 Nona-S, which use armored chassis and perform multi-role roles, the new Vietnamese 10km-range mortar is designed for specific missions, prioritizing simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
Understand the impact of new military technology
The new 100mm mortar is a technical breakthrough for the Vietnamese Army and an opportunity to expand its presence in the international defense market. Countries seeking to modernize their arsenals with effective and cost-effective solutions may be interested in this innovative military technology.
A lightness, combined with easy operation and low production costs of the new semi-automatic mortar, make the system competitive, especially for nations that need reliable equipment without exceeding their budgets.
While the system may not directly compete with larger-caliber automatic mortars in terms of range and power, it makes up for a more practical and affordable approach. This strategy could diversify options in the global market, allowing Vietnam to position itself as a reliable supplier of modern and cost-effective military technology.
This equipment symbolizes the country’s technological growth and its ability to establish itself as a relevant player in the global defense industry. By prioritizing innovation, cost-effectiveness and mobility, the Vietnamese Army shows that it is prepared to face challenges in the international market, while strengthening its own defense capabilities.
