The mortar is intended mainly for Territorial Defense Force units, in December 2018 a contract was signed for the delivery of 780 pieces by 2022. It is the successor to the LM-60K and LRM vz. 99 ANTOS mortars.[1] The first 150 units were delivered in 2019, 204 in 2020, 294 in 2021 and the last of this order in 2022, 132 units.
In February 2022, an undisclosed number of LMP-2017 mortars were transferred to Ukraine (estimated at 100 units with over 1,500 grenades), where they soon saw their first combat use during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2][3]
