The 2B9 Vasilek (2Б9 "Василёк" - Cornflower) also known as Vasilyek, [2] AM 289 Vasilyek [3] or AM 2B9 Vasilyek, [3] is an automatic 82 mm gun-mortar developed in the Soviet Union in 1967 and fielded with the Soviet Army in 1970.
The first self-propelled mortar was the 2B1 Oka, based on the Iosif Stalin tank chassis capable of firing a 420 mm shell at a distance of 45 km (28 mi). A few examples were built and paraded in the early 1960s, but ultimately the Oka wasn't adopted due Nikita Khrushchev 's preference for missiles over heavy guns.
The main new feature of the vehicle is a semi-automatic rifled gun, which allows firing of all types of mortar mines and shells (unification with the 2A80 automatic gun-howitzer-mortar [clarification needed], which is also installed on the 2S31 and 2S34): the gun can fire like a howitzer and mortar, and also be used for direct fire.
