Soltam 120MM Mortar system. We bought the rights to it and classified it as the M120 Mortar system. 4.5 Miles or 7240 meters.

Marines use a French Based system with about a 1600 meters more range.

81mm mortar range is about 3.5 miles. The Dragonfire 120 mm rifled mortar will reach 5 miles, more with rocket assist. I have read there is one in testing that more than double that range
