"The Swedish grenade launcher is older, but the RPG-7 is lagging behind": in the Czech Republic they intend to replace Soviet weapons

The Czech Armed Forces intend to replace a number of combat systems inherited from the Soviet era and which are equipped with infantry. These include assault and sniper rifles, anti-tank systems and RPGs.

RPG-7 is weapon Soviet design that is still widespread and popular around the world for its ease of use and efficiency since its inception in the 1960s

- writes the publication CZDefence, noting that these grenade launchers "inevitably lagged behind" the requirements of modern combat.

The local upgraded RPG-75, the Swedish AT4, the American M72 LAW, the German-Israeli-Singaporean RGW-90 MATADOR, the Enforcer from the European developer MBDA and other products are considered as replacements. At the same time, the author prefers the Swedish Grg m / 48 grenade launcher, the basic version of which was put into service in 1948:

Carl Gustav is conceptually much older. However, it has undergone significant development.

As indicated, Hungary has already purchased the specified grenade launcher in the M4 version and expects to close the deal until 2024. While neighboring Poland is creating a replacement for the RPG-7 on its own as part of the Grot project.

Who buys? Oh yes, Czechs ...
Have more questions?

Are you jealous? Or you have weird concepts about gun advertising.
Czech Republic is Czech Republic. And now she has nothing to do with us. From the word in general. What she considers necessary and correct. That is what she buys. Or do you consider yourself smarter than the Czech government? And do you know better what the Czech Republic needs for the Czech Republic?

We were wrong. Not the Czech, but the American government. We do not forget about the Law on Counteracting the US Adversaries.

And what's wrong with ordinary Czechs? Do they have that the euro will fall? Or housing services, gasoline, food ............... are growing constantly? It's not our business for a very long time what and how to advise the Czechs. Now we can only suggest. Well, you can sell our products to Czechs in the form

RPG-28, RPG-32?

Now think about how this can be done, and whether it is possible at all. И, voiced by you the realities of the modern world.

The Czechs operate the Swedish planes
The Czech currency is the krone, at least for now.
So the Czechs conditionally have independence.
Well, Americans don't know where it is

[Ros 56]

And actually, why not be smarter than the Czech government? Or is it forbidden by someone. You have some strange reasoning. Maybe the person is really smarter.

[Dmitry Makarov]

Czechs buy outdated Swedish grenade launcher, abandoning more modern RPG-28, RPG-32
And what's wrong with that? Thus, the Czechs reduce their defenses, it plays into our hands.

[paul3390]

Thus, the Czechs reduce their defenses,

The Czech army refused to defend its country twice in the XNUMXth century. There is no reason to believe that she is going to do this in the XXI as well ... So it's just business and drank some dough ..

I also thought - from whom can they really defend themselves? Who is threatening them? And Cho, straight in slender columns, armed with Swedish Grg m / 48, will go to the front, beat the foe? Something I don't remember with the Czechs. They only know how to fight with ours in hockey. And when Hitler sawed them off as he wanted (with the tacit consent of "civilized countries") - well, at least one dog barked ...

They would pay money directly to the American budget in the hope that "Abroad will help us" and protect us. They would pay for the opportunity and the honorary right to become a radioactive desert in the event of a RESPONSE strike against American launchers and bases ...

[paul3390]

Actually - the modern development of capitalism quite allows throwing out of the classical formula commodity-money-commodity that has become completely unnecessary commodity .. Loot should be done simply out of thin air. And you can also pay the colonial tax directly, without any covers in the form of purchases of unnecessary trash ..

The same America has long been bringing your words to life, Paul. Now there are no exact figures at hand, but there is almost all of the budget filling - banking. And what remains is the service sector. And the "product" is for China ...

Quote: paul3390

paying the colonial tax is also possible directly, without any covers in the form of purchases of unnecessary trash ..

And not only the Czech Republic concerns. What is, for example, the F-35, if not a disguised colonial tax? I'm not talking about its quality, no. I'm talking about its usefulness and applicability. Well, what for are they, for example, Australia? Who is she going to fight with? The Papuans in Tasmania seem to have exhausted everyone. Who else? Are they afraid of "Russian aggression"?

Europe pays, the Arabs pay ... So why drive "iron" back and forth around the world? We would pay immediately according to your formula - "money-money-money" ....

[paul3390]

The bearded classics teach us that history develops in a spiral, returning to old forms on a new level. So capitalism is gradually moving towards digital neo-feudalism. Where should you pay the signor simply because he is stronger and can fill your face. And you can't leave him either, for the same reason ..

Well, why bother with some kind of production in such a scenario? When can you take everything stupidly away? And so that there was order among the neo-feudal lords - the planet is divided into feuds according to concepts, and the population - the stump of serfs is clear. Only now they will be lifelong credit. According to the spirit of the times ..

Only now, damn it ... One of the tidbits - Russia - doesn't want to be divided into parts in any way. And in serfs - too. And how they would like to ... The blue dream of their pink childhood -

And if foreign soldiers appear on my street, I will open my safe. I won't pull the platoon, but I'll arm the squad to the teeth. It was a long time ago, but I have not forgotten the army. I will "please" several families in Idaho, Texas or some other Utah with fresh "plastics".

I still have my own quirk from the army (and who among us in childhood did not run around the yard with toy automatic pistols?). Yes, my father was all his life "turned" on this matter. After him, only three premium barrels remained. One - the dream of any American Negro - gilded. From Africa, he brought an award from some local king during the Soviet Union. So Idaho will "please" ...

"The rifle has an inexplicable influence on the minds of most men and is the best example of adoration of an inanimate object, which cannot be compared with any other. Pick up a rifle - a really good rifle - and if you know how to handle it well, you go from mouse to human, peon to caballero, and most importantly, from subject to citizen .... Be careful with it ...

My father taught me from childhood that the trunk is not a piece of iron in the hand, but an extension of the hand. The first time he shot at about 10 years old in a forest plantation at the dacha at cans from his father's award. I was learning not to close my eyes when firing and not to "scour" the barrel ... Then I got used to it ...

[Machete]

Ballista and trebuchet are even older and more powerful than RPGs.
Moreover, I come from the EU. I think we should take it.

[Petro_tut]

From ancient Rome more precisely

[Reserve buildbat]

I strongly support the Czechs! Let them throw out all the RPG-7s, which are still being successfully produced in Russia, and now also under a new sticker in the "camp of the light elves", whose opa is diligently licked by the Czechs. Instead of RPG-7, let them take "Karl". Although he is ancient, but not bad. That's just for financial reasons, then the Czechs will have to reduce the number of grenade launchers and grenade launchers by 10 times that way.

[2112vda]

It is not ancient, it is "vintage". They want to change, let them change.

[Tamer]

I suggest the Czechs instead of Karl opt for the M72 LAW. If you "burn", then "burn"!

[Tests]

RPG-7 lags behind in what? In sprinting, swimming, figure skating, chess? Czechs what grenades for RPG-7, in what quantity, in what weather conditions, at what time of day, with what sights, at what distances and for what purposes have they been tested over the past 5 years? Testers - Czechs before the control, for comparison with "Karl Gustav", tests, RPG-7 operated at least 5 years, or did they take a grenade launcher in their hands for the first time?

[zadorin1974]

Good Evgeniy. Yes. In general, the RPG 7 wins only by its simplicity and cheapness. In a global conflict, this is undoubtedly a plus, but time passes. Gustov is not a bad system. Compact (only meter), a wide selection of ammunition (a choice of 20 types), accuracy , high range with a standard shot (700-1000m), the possibility of using a guided missile at 1500-2000 meters. Yes, it’s expensive. But we already have a seven to replace it. The same "Bur" and "Hashim".

[Nikolaevich I]

No matter how much the RPG-7 is accused of being "ancient", this gun still has the potential for further development! This is: 1. reduction in weight due to the use of light high-strength alloys, composites ... 2. development of corrected (guided) ammunition; 3. Application of a wide "range" of ammunition of various functionality and calibers! It is possible to create anti-tank ammunition to destroy armored targets from the top ... anti-helicopter shots ... mini-UAVs! In Germany they use their "analogue" of the same type of grenade launcher and do not soar! ("Panzerfaust-3" ... disposable ...) Although, in some aspects, the possibility of upgrading the RPG-7, in my opinion, came to the limit ... This, I think, refers to the possibility of increasing the caliber of ammunition ... To get around this limitation, you will have to increase the "caliber" of the barrel! At one time, grenade launchers of the same type with the RPG-7, with a "caliber" of 45 mm to 60 mm, were already being developed ... Still, the use of "innovative" solutions in the development of new ammunition of a larger caliber is not excluded! How it was done in the USA when developing the RAW 140-mm rifle grenade

[nonsense]

RPG-7 lags behind in what? In sprinting, swimming, figure skating, chess?

So yes, the range of the shot with new, really effective against tanks grenades, only 200 meters +/-, "swimming" is generally contraindicated for him - the expelling charges get soaked, you can't shoot from the room (you will burn) ... So the old man RPG-7 is giving up. ..

[zadorin1974]

So from any grenade launcher to shoot from a room with an emphasis on the rear wall is fatal for "Gagarin". With a range agree. There really is one chip in the seven, in the absence of a regular shot, you can shmalnut with a mortar mine)))

[V.I.P.]

Not any of them. There are grenade launchers for shooting from enclosed spaces. There, instead of a flame, anti-mass from balls (some kind of plastic) flies out. Purchased for special forces

[zadorin1974]

Sorry, I have not seen such devices. But I have seen "Gagarinov")))))

[nonsense]

just about, for example, the German Panzerfaust-3 ...

[Crimean partisan 1974]

"swimming" is generally contraindicated for him - the expelling charges are soaking ..... why lie so frankly, the shell made of cardboard propelling charges are pretty impregnated with resins. which does not allow moisture to seep and swell, and moisture to the seven itself is on the drum. can be pulled out of the water in 100 years. small cleaning and oglu,
PS. I don't even remember the case when the MC-21 was the paper cartridge swelled

[nonsense]

Quote: Crimean partisan 1974

, the body made of cardboard propelling charges are pretty impregnated with resins. that does not allow moisture to seep and swell,

what is saturated with? does it mean that antique Soviet hunting cartridges with a folder (paper) sleeve DO NOT swell from moisture? (not to mention from getting into the water) - what MAGIC country do you live in? :)
PS: and who means "ogly"?

[Crimean partisan 1974]

what is impregnated with? ..... resins, ..that I forgot how to read ..... the only thing it was impossible to re-equip like brass ..... the same housings on the flare pistols starting from the red signaling ending with chemical attack warnings, cardboard impregnated resins
What MAGIC country do you live in? :) .... I suppose a person with an average intelligence can be used to guess .... Dementius, you both have an intellect ... strained something ...

In the United States, they release their own replica RPG-7.

Soon the Czechs will begin to bend down to start using them again. Then they will ask why they gave up their own?

[Rose capone]

Better than the RPG-32, now, I don't know, it's a multi-caliber one, it smacks with a 72mm grenade and a 105mm cumulative missile, it pierces both a tank and half a meter of concrete. Shoots from 200 m and further. You just need to set the sight switch.

[Genry]

Well, I don’t know who is there in the United States to decide such issues. Maybe the RPG-32 will be copied in Chinese.

[Sergey_G_M]

Headings as always))
Most likely they do not replace, but simply came out all the guaranteed storage periods of ammunition and the question arose that they would remain without grenade launchers at all.
And the fact that not our grenade launchers are considering for renewal, after all, NATO, their allies will not understand.

[rotmistr60]

RPG-7 ... popular in the world thanks to ease of use and efficiency of application since its inception in the 1960s

And right below

these grenade launchers "inevitably lagged behind" the requirements of modern combat.

They would say honestly that as a NATO member they will not buy Russian weapons (the elder does not order). Slowly, with the development of resources, they are getting rid of Soviet equipment and weapons. Everything is natural and must comply with NATO standards.

[Archemor]

What difference does it make to us than the Czechs will shoot at targets at the ranges? And what will then lie in warehouses. Well, the Czech defense officials want to eat, even if the main thing is not at our expense.

[Cowbra]

No, how's a Jew? RPG-7 is outdated, that's it, I'll go and shoot myself from it ... Just don't squint my eyes so that new boundaries don't get into the field of view - we can't have anything except RPG-7

[Crimean partisan 1974]

I personally like that in the west, along with the crown, a pandemic of mental illness is growing, especially in the last 6 years .. the grandfather of the "seven" will live for centuries ... humanity will sooner die out than the "seven" ..... this idiot has a conclusion lower than a homosapiens with a low social responsibility ... whose world grenade launcher can boast of such a range of shots

[V.I.P.]

It is Karl Gustav 4 who can. He still has a rocket as ammunition. It was developed jointly with the USA (since the Americans have Gustav 3 in service, now they are purchasing 4). It hits a tank from above ... What sights on 4 gustav, there are none on ours and in the future, unfortunately ...

[Crimean partisan 1974]

It is Karl Gustav 4 who can ... no, he cannot, Karl has no tandem shots. exactly like thermobaric
It hits the tank from above ..... not true, but only remotely and explodes over the target ... it hits the tank
.What sights on 4 gustav, there are none on ours and in the future ... well, the PGO-7 is quite excellent. (Recently, both PSN-1 and NSPU-3 are being equipped). It was with such a sight that Mers Shevardnadze was overseen when the cortege was flying at a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour. the only thing is that the shooter, although a sniper, took a lead by 50 cm more, otherwise Shevornadze would not have existed for a long time ... and so, the vast majority of the shot down aircraft fell to the RPG-7

[Vadim237]

"No, it cannot, Karl does not have tandem shots, just like thermobaric" - You are mistaken, they are shown here

and PGO 7 PSN-1 and NSPU-3 sights to compare with the computer sights of the M4 makes no sense.
"It hits the tank from above ..... not true, but only remotely and breaks over the target ... the tank is hitting the drum" - What does the tank hitting the drum mean - hitting the tank in the roof with a shock cannonball does not hit the tank and the crew after such a cover.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

You are mistaken there are they shown here ........ no, I am not mistaken, it is important to note that it is not window dressing, but really that Karl's calculations are ... but there are none at all. because they are outlandish, unlike RPG-7 shots, which has everything in abundance ... so for the sake of information. ..RPG-7 produced more than 9 pieces, not counting clones, and the shots for these 000000 cartoons can be roughly multiplied by 9 or even 10, ... all and different, so the probability of the calculations at par is much more scarce than the calculation " sevens "
the defeat of the tank in the roof with a shock nucleus at all ... what kind of shock nucleus ... what are you spinning ... it is detonated remotely over the target, that is, a directed explosion of the warhead over the target ... well, a Humvee or a bobik will disable it, but the tank will be do not care

[uav80]

If we take imported shots for RPG-7, even if only Bulgarian ones, then the range of shots will increase significantly ...

[Crimean partisan 1974]

the seven eats everything, and the clones too, but the gusly only its own

[hydro]

RPG-7 is completely obsolete ...

[Crimean partisan 1974]

RPG-7 is completely out of date ....... the crews of the Abrams Leo-2 and the Ukrainian T-64 are unlikely to agree with you, and even more so the dead crews of the turntables

So I don't argue. The weapon is being upgraded. As well as RPG-7. Examine the materiel.
