of a thermobaric charge formed into a shaped warhead. The RPG-75-MP is designed for com- bating armored vehicles (HEAT effect), objects and targets of improved resistance (HEAT and TBX effect), and to fight enemy's living forces (TBX effect). Every RPG-75M/MP/RTG is based on a telescop- ic structure composed of two parts. The first is a launcher aluminum alloy tube and featuring a factory fixed grenade and a range of mecha- nisms: trigger mechanism, firing mechanism, safety mechanism, and easy-to-use sights (sight and foresight, with the grid-sight scal- able shooting at to 100, 200, 250 and 300 me- ters. The second element is a steel combustion chamber ended with a nozzle. Both ends are se- cured with rubber covers, which offer additional protection against ingress of moisture (the gre- nade launcher is factory hermetically wrapped, which makes it possible to store it safely for six years). The length of the launcher is 630 mm in transport position and 890 mm in firing position (extended). DEMONSTRATION The launchers were field-tested on a training ground, fired at different types of targets. The RPG-75-M was fired from a distance of 100 meters at a 150 mm thick armor plate set at an angle of 45º. And? The HEAT projectile pierced through a 300 mm rolled homoge- neous armor (a plate of a structure according to GOST – used in PG ammunition tests). REPORT
