with Mk19 grenade launchers could be resolved,
as well.
Soldiers need man-portable ATGM launchers for
engaging armored targets on short distances. This
weapon should be as much versatile, so it could
also fire missiles with warheads of demolition an
fragmentation effects. Taking into consideration an
observation capability and compromise between
range and weight, such missiles should have ap-
proximate range of 1000 meters and weight allow-
ing easy operation by single soldier. Such weapon
systems: ERYX, FGM-172 SRAW, MBT LAW or Carl
Gustav M3/M4 are used by many armies.
Other option is also replacement of obsolete RPG-
7 with modern grenade launchers of greater accu-
racy and range, with characteristics similar to the
following weapons: RGW-90 or AT-4.
Additionally, in order to increase the capability of
armor defeating and destroying light fortifications
on short ranges (up to 300 meters), it is necessary
