Also known as

  • 60 mm smoke mortar shell Mk10

The 60 mm Mk10 smoke shell is a Serbian smoke mortar round in the Krušik and Yugoimport 60 mm mortar-ammunition catalogs. Official sheets identify a 410 mm, 2.1 kg fuzed shell with a UT M88P1 impact fuze, ignition cartridge, increment charges, and M57 mortar ballistic data; the Krušik product image specifies a white-phosphorus smoke charge and a 5.035 km maximum range from a 1200 mm barrel.

Source-Specific Technical Notes

Yugoimport and Krušik publish overlapping Mk10 smoke-shell data, but the sheets are not identical. The entry keeps the differences visible rather than merging them into a single contract configuration.

Smoke fill

Yugoimport lists a 300 g smoke charge; Krušik's current product image lists 270 g of white phosphorus.

Both sources identify the shell as a 60 mm Mk10 smoke mortar shell.

Firing data

Yugoimport gives M57 mortar data for a 1300 mm barrel, while the Krušik image gives a 5035 m maximum range from a 1200 mm barrel.

The M57 link is therefore a documented ballistic-data relationship, not direct conflict-use evidence for this shell.

Contract caveat

Yugoimport states that final configuration and technical specification are defined for each contract.

That caveat explains why catalog values may differ across official sheets.

Army ammunition data sheets describe the M60 series as a screening round with a cast-WP projectile filler, a seven-increment M67 propelling charge, and model differences centered on burster construction and fuze compatibility. Army rigging and ordnance-identification references also list the family by DODIC C454 and C477.

Its official sheets describe a high-angle fire-support weapon built around barrel, base plate, bipod, sight, tools, spares, and accessories; post-Yugoslav records also show Serbian surplus stocks and Balkan export activity. In the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict, open-source loss documentation recorded M57 mortars captured from Armenian forces.
