A mortar team of two operators equipped with a Type 87 - or the more modern, if lighter - PP-89 mortar is the common PLANMC solution for indirect fires at the small unit level. Two operators, often with a non-commissioned officer in charge as well, handle each mortar.
While some platforms in the greater PLA inventory are able to launch the mortar from the platform itself, the mortars depicted here must be removed from vehicles and emplaced by the firing team in order to send rounds out.
