In Germany, developed a new disposable 110-mm grenade launcher RGW 110

The German armed forces may soon be armed with a new disposable grenade launcher. According to the bmpd blog with reference to the magazine "Jane's Missiles & Rockets", the German company Dynamit Nobel Defense has almost completed the development of a new 110-mm hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher.

The German company Dynamit Nobel Defense is completing the development of the Recoilless Grenade Weapon (RGW) 110 disposable hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher. According to the plans of the developers, the field tests of the new RPG will begin at the beginning of next year.

As the company explained, the new RGW 110 grenade launcher will complement the range of smaller caliber disposable RPGs already manufactured by the company: the 60-mm RGW 60 and the 90-mm RGW 90. According to the data provided, the RGW 110 has a launch tube diameter of 110 mm and a length of 1 meter. The grenade launcher’s curb weight is 10 kg. The claimed effective firing range is 600-800 meters. Sighting unit with built-in calculator removable.

The main type of RGW 110 shot is a grenade with a tandem cumulative warhead (a high-explosive detonation is possible). There is also a development of a grenade with a penetrating "anti-bunker" warhead and a special grenade to destroy armored vehicles equipped with active defense systems.

The RGW 110 rocket-propelled grenade was developed on the basis of a super-caliber grenade manufactured by another well-known German RPG Panzerfaust 3, and the new grenade launcher is positioned as its replacement. According to the development company, the new RPG RGW 110 in several parameters, such as mass, range and accuracy, significantly exceeds the Panzerfaust 3.

The Germans - the founders of the Faustpatrons, maybe you should seriously look at this grenade launcher.

[Clueless]

8 kilometers? do not imagine yourself range

[major071]

Typical typo, 600-800 meters range.

That's right, how will he find the target beyond 2-3 kilometers? He does not have a radar station, this is not an easel unit, but a portable one!
Within line of sight!

[SERGEY SERGEEVICS]

A single-use RPG with a diameter of 110ml most likely will not be able to deliver a grenade to 8000 meters. Yes, and there is nothing to it, the RPG is intended for close combat, and not at such distances.

[vadim dok]

It is printed in the article - the range is 600 ÷ 800 METERS, or 0,8 KM! Where did you get the figure of 8 km?

[Yrec]

Manual disposable RPG with a shot up to 8000 m? !!!! RPG developers have bitten the big-eye?

It’s just that editing the materials on VO has already had problems for a long time and an extra toe is a relatively small thing.

[Nycomed]

Problems for a long time, you are right, but it is easier for the editorial board to "minus" or delete such comments. It's easier.

Nycomed, you probably registered because of the pluses. Yes!!! Because you are not the first time writing about the cons.

[Nycomed]

God forbid! I support (in this case) the statement about the work of the editorial board. And that’s it. But it’s not worth reproaching me for vanity, right.

[SERGEY SERGEEVICS]

I don’t blame you for anything, I said it as it is, and whoever needs it will always give you a plus sign.

[dzvero]

And if you count the march throw, then the range of 20 km will work ...

[Amateur]

The claimed effective firing range is 600-8000 meters.

Something I can do for 8 km?

The RPG RGW 110 will be the oldest in the family of Dynamit Nobel’s currently manufactured disposable RPGs RGW 60 (caliber 60 mm) and RGW 90 (caliber 90 mm). RPG RGW 110 with caliber launch tube 110 mm will have a length of 1 m, curb weight 10 kg and effective firing range from 600 to 800 m. Sighting unit with built-in calculator removable. The RGW 110 RPG rocket grenade of the 110 mm caliber was developed on the basis of the super-caliber grenade manufactured by Dynamit Nobel Defense of the famous Panzerfaust 3 RPG, and the RGW 110 is actually positioned as a replacement for the latter. Compared to the Panzerfaust 3, the new RPG RGW 110 has about 3 over kg less weight, and is claimed to be better balanced, has better accuracy and a longer effective firing range.

The main type of RPG RGW 110 shot, as in modern versions of Panzerfaust 3, will be a grenade with a tandem cumulative warhead (with the ability to mount a high-explosive detonation). It is also reported that a grenade with a penetrating "anti-bunker" warhead and a special grenade to defeat armored vehicles equipped with active protection systems are being developed for the RGW 110.

I sat down to read, first of all, to look at the penetration, but here the range is only true, although a large one is indicated very much.

[Izotovp]

A big drawback of modern weapons from a machine gun to MANPADS in heavy and bulky guidance systems. If a universal sighting system capable of connecting to the “brains” of any weapon is integrated into the soldier’s outfit, this will greatly facilitate his life, both literally and figuratively.

[KVU-NSVD]

But then the question arises about the combat capability of a soldier whose aiming system either glitched or sank from a shrapnel ... In this regard, for battle, "own" sights for different weapons are a more stable concept, although of course it is expensive.

[Izotovp]

We have come to such a threshold that a fighter armed with a bare machine gun and equipped with a simple body armor against a modernly equipped fighter will simply not understand where it came from.

[dzvero]

"Not everything is so simple" - throw a special forces group in some AK against a company of modernly equipped conscripts who have just passed the KMB and I'm not sure who will not understand where what came from. Equipment becomes a factor only with comparable training of soldiers.
Modern weaponry and equipment are delightfully expensive; few people in the world can pull the full equipment of their infantry. That is why in "big" armies there are so-called. "elite" units, and "ordinary" motorized rifle ...

[dzvero]

For this, a uniform standard is needed; and only a very large player in the market can impose this. And if the USA / NATO, China and the Russian Federation have the necessary political weight, then among the manufacturing companies it is first necessary to reach an agreement, which is not easy.
In addition, such a system will be very vulnerable to electromagnetic influences. Too high a possibility of using REB to deprive infantry of weapons, leaving only a small sapper shovel ...

[Monar]

And if the guidance system is built into the equipment, then it will cease to be heavy and cumbersome?

[Zeev Zeev]

A lighter version (which is 90mm) called "Matador" is produced in Israel.

To make infantry equipment is extremely expensive. And it’s possible to equip the hundredth with what it’s built into everyone’s equipment.

Breakthrough from the caliber warhead can be estimated, it is more interesting than what they are going to overcome KAZ. There are several constructive solutions, it is interesting which way the Germans went.

Then this sighting canoe should be carried around constantly, and not only when you grab RPG

In virtual, in it the weight is only on the screen, and not on your own hump

[Izotovp]

And on your own hump you have to drag in addition to the sight on the machine gun, and also the sight on MANPADS instead of one sighting system.

Oh! .... Do you know what kind of sight in MANPADS? And what is the staffing list of who is supposed to use weapons? And you propose to combine what with what? Do you well understand what this looks like and how it works in real conditions?

[Izotovp]

And I'm not talking about the full integration of the entire sighting complex of various types of weapons in the fighter’s equipment. Partially and not immediately. This is the way to go. So that there is no duplication, for example, of meteorological sensors, a laser range finder, a ballistic computer ...
