82 - PM - 41 The 82 - pm - 41 ( ) , M - 41 or the 82 - mm mortar Model 1941 ( ) was a Soviet 82 - millimeter calibre mortar developed during the Second World War as an infantry battalion mortar , and which begun production in 1941 . It differed from Model 1937 by the presence of a removable wheel base , by the arched construction base plate ( as in 107 - mm and 120 - mm mortars ) , and also a different two - legged construction . Wheels were slipped over the semi - axis of the bipod feet and removed during firing . Design improvements were made to reduce weight and production cost , and improve manoeuvrability . The ballistic data of the mortar Model 1941 were analogous to Model 1937 . The 82 - mm mortar Model 1941 was more convenient to transport than the Model 1937 , but was less steady during firing and had a worse centre of gravity . To correct shortcomings of the 82 - mm mortar Model 1941 it was modernised during initial production . In the course of production the construction of bipod , wheel and fastening of the sight was changed . The modernised mortar was called 82 - mm mortar Model 1943 . Due to the initial need to rectify design issues 1937 Model mortars continued to be used during World War II and produced alongside Models 1941 and 1943 . As many Model 1937 Mortars were lost early in the war , this mortar served in the Battle for Moscow , Battle of Stalingrad , Battle of Kursk , and other campaigns , operations and engagements of the first three years of the war .

Beriev Be - 12 The Beriev Be - 12 " Chayka " ( " Seagull " , NATO reporting name : Mail ) is a Soviet turboprop - powered amphibious aircraft designed for anti - submarine and maritime patrol duties . Design and development . The Beriev Be - 12 was a successor to the Beriev Be - 6 flying boat , whose primary roles were as an anti - submarine and maritime patrol bomber aircraft . Though tracing its origins to the Be - 6 , the Be - 12 inherited little more than the gull wing and twin oval tailfin configuration of the older aircraft . The Be - 12 had turboprop engines , which gave it an improved speed and range over the Be - 6 . The Be - 12 also had retractable landing gear , which enabled it to land on normal land runways , as well as water . The Be - 12 was first flown on October 18 , 1960 at Taganrog airfield , and made its first public appearance at the 1961 Soviet Aviation Day festivities at Tushino airfield . A total of 150 aircraft were produced , in several variations . Operational history . The Be - 12 entered service with Soviet Naval Aviation , or AV - MF ( " Aviatcia Voenno - Morskogo Flota " ) , in the early 1960s in the maritime patrol role , and is one of the few amphibians still in military service in the world . Initially its role was ASW patrol , but when newer missiles enabled United States Navy submarine s to launch from further offshore it was converted to the search and rescue role ( Be - 12PS ) . Small numbers are still in service . After the dissolution of the Soviet Union , some aircraft were converted to water bomber s for the suppression of forest fires . During development of the Beriev Be - 200 unique fire - fighting equipment was tested using a specially modified Be - 12P , code - named " 12 Yellow " . After installation of the fire - fighting system , the aircraft was registered as RA - 00046 and given the designation Be - 12P - 200 . This modified Be - 12 was also used to trial firefighting operations envisaged for the Be - 200 . According to figures released in 1993 , the Russian Navy had 55 aircraft in service . By 2005 this had dropped to 12 , and by 2008 there were only nine aircraft still in service . A surviving Be - 12 is preserved at the Central Air Force Museum at Monino , outside of Moscow . Other examples exist at the Ukraine State Aviation Museum at Kiev , Ukraine and that the Taganrog Air Museum , in southern Russia .
