Hello. This article doesn't appear to say anything about dates - when was this weapon developed? When was it in service? The French have been using 60mm mortars since at least WWII, and this weapon seems to be an innovative design. Stevebritgimp (talk) 22:53, 22 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

South Africa?

This article is linked from some South African AFV articles, as the "K1 mortar". Anyone have more details? How much was French, how much South African? Andy Dingley (talk) 11:14, 18 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

There hasn't been a fair amount published on this topic, so locating sources was difficult - but the K1 is a South African variant of the Brandt Mle CM60A1, which is the shorter-ranged, original version of the Brandt LR. The Saffies received a licence to build the CM60A1 as the K1 in 1965. As far as I can tell, the ammo used for the K1 is all locally designed and developed.

K1 was used on the Eland-60 and Ratel-60. --Katangais (talk) 14:03, 5 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
