ACE 72444 Hell Cannon (Syrian Artillery)

Hell Cannon (Polish hell artillery) or Jahannam Cannon is a collective and conventional term for various types of improvised mortars used during the civil war in Syria that broke out in 2011. Weapons of this type are used primarily by broadly understood anti-government forces. For the first time, a weapon that can be classified as a Hell Cannon was probably used in 2012 in the al-Foua area, but the Western media did not notice it until a year later. Weapons of this type are most often made for cottage industry or in field repair shops. They base and use all available weapons and it is difficult to talk about standardization or a specific caliber of this weapon. Hell Cannon is almost always used for fighting in the city and shooting with indirect, much less direct fire. Most often, weapons of this type have wheels and are relatively easy to transport.
