The 120 KRH 92 is a Finnish 120 mm heavy mortar from the Vammas and Patria Vammas heavy-weapons lineage. It is primarily a towed indirect-fire weapon, but Finnish service also ties the mortar to tracked and newer modular mobility concepts. Open-source reporting identified Finnish-made 120 KRH 92 and 120 KRH 85/92 mortars in Ukrainian service during the full-scale phase of the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.
Open-source reporting in August 2022 identified Finnish-made 120 KRH 92 mortars in Ukrainian Defense Forces possession; Finland had not publicly itemized the transfer at the time, making the observed weapons the direct conflict-use evidence.
Role detailsPublic sources use 120 KRH 92 as the baseline Finnish designation and also describe transitional examples that retained older baseplate or carriage components.
| Variant | Configuration | Designation notes |
|---|---|---|
| 120 KRH 92 76 | Transitional component configuration | Army Recognition reports that some units retained older base plates and carriages and were known by 120 KRH 92 76 and 120 KRH 92 85 designations. Sources: Army Recognition 120 KRH 92 Ukraine |
| 120 KRH 92 85 | Transitional component configuration | The 120 KRH 92 85 designation is reported for examples retaining older equipment elements rather than a separate new mortar family. Sources: Army Recognition 120 KRH 92 Ukraine |
The 120 KRH 92 designation identifies the Finnish 120 mm mortar model 1992 in the country's heavy mortar line.

The Finnish Army announced a Patria Land pre-series procurement for the 120 KRH M3 modular mobile mortar system, a successor mobility concept that uses existing heavy-mortar barrels and fire-management equipment rather than renaming the 120 KRH 92.

The 120 KRH 92 page is primarily a towed mortar record, but Finnish sources also place the weapon inside a longer mobility line. The 120 KRH TEKA carrier uses the mortar as its mounted main weapon, while the later 120 KRH M3 / Patria TREMOS project moves toward a modular vehicle-top system that can reuse existing heavy mortar barrels and fire-management equipment.
Finnish Defence Forces material identifies the 120 KRH 92 as the main weapon of the 120 KRH TEKA tracked mortar carrier, mounted in the rear module.

The Finnish Army says the M3 module is intended to be mounted on vehicle tops, execute fire missions directly from the vehicle, and move the mortar to another vehicle if needed.
