I think there is something similar in the Chechen OOB as well.

I seem to recollect that one of the OOB development team we used to have had a 'thing' about improvised HE chucking devices. That is why "SPA" HE RCL jeeps and things popped up all over the place, along with shoulder launched RL "HE" items.

Some of these things cannot meet the minimum range for indirect fire though, and so may have problems if plotted for it. (They should probably have been classed as a mortar class perhaps?).

So - if you spot one of these things, let us know and we will attempt to fix it.
