A 60 mm mortar launcher is a light, crew-served indirect-fire weapon built around a smoothbore tube, baseplate, sight, and often a bipod. In the Boko Haram Insurgency, Nigerian military reporting has documented 60 mm mortar tubes recovered from ISWAP fighters, while Conflict Armament Research has separately documented mortar materiel and captured 60 mm rounds among JAS/Boko Haram and ISWAP-linked seizures around Lake Chad. The recovered launcher models are not publicly identified, so this entry treats the item as a caliber-class system rather than a specific national model.
Nigerian reporting in 2021 said two 60 mm mortar tubes were recovered from ISWAP fighters during clearance operations around Marte, and a separate Gajiram encounter recovered one 60 mm mortar tube from ISWAP attackers; the public reports did not identify the tube models or manufacturers.
