Soviet legendary RPG-7 grenade launcher received a new shot

The Russian army is not going to abandon the Soviet RPG-7 grenade launcher, so it is developing new ammunition for it. As stated in the NPO "Basalt", the legendary grenade launcher received a new shot.

According to Nikolai Sereda, chief of the Basalt design bureau, the enterprise has developed and has already launched into serial production a new round intended for the RPG-7V2 grenade launcher. The ammunition passed state tests, where it confirmed its characteristics.

Talking about the new shot, Sereda explained that it is intended to defeat and disable the enemy's manpower and uses "unconventional principles of destruction" for this. He did not give details of the development, but said that a new line of ammunition was being created for the RPG-7V2, which they plan to launch into production in two years.

At the same time, according to the head of the 204th military mission, Colonel Leonid Maslennikov, the RPG-7 grenade launcher with a new shot belongs to the latest, third generation of grenade launchers. The new ammunition has significantly expanded the area of ​​application of the grenade launcher.

On June 15, the Soviet RPG-7 grenade launcher celebrated its 60th anniversary. It was on this day in 1961 that the grenade launcher was adopted by the Soviet army. Today it is in service with more than 80 countries. The development and use of new ammunition allows the RPG-7 to remain one of the best and most reliable in the world. The arsenal of the grenade launcher includes shots to defeat both armored vehicles and enemy personnel.

"Unconventional method of defeat" ... How's that? In a European way, in a dupu?

As Sereda explained, work is underway to increase armor penetration, thermal pressure and fragmentation of shots. "More effective shots will be capable of hitting the entire spectrum of targets on the battlefield - from openly deployed manpower to the most modern armored vehicles, including those with dynamic protection," said a representative of the NPO Basalt.

[tralflot1832]

In the article, the new ammunition is intended for withdrawal from the system. In the original words of Nikolai Sereda: Currently, it has been developed and has the letter 01 (serial production). Another shot for the RPG 7В2, which uses unconventional principles of destruction and removal of enemy manpower, has passed state tests. So this is not lethal.

[For example]

Quote: tralflot1832

Means a nuclear shot.
With such a charge, everything is really in a heap.

Shmalnul - and all to ashes. Including the shooter.

Then why shoot? You can undermine right in your hands, the effect is the same.

Quote: tralflot1832

At the present time it has been developed and has the letter 01 (serial production).

Letter "O1" - it passed the state tests, when it is in the series, the CD will receive the letter "A".

[Barberry25]

unlikely .. not their profile, they would rather screw a shot from the RMG .. a thermobar with a leading cumulative .. just for work on the fortifications, broke through the wall, and then a volumetric explosion .. taking into account that the concept of modern warfare involves fighting not over territory ( front line a la WWII), and the war for the cities (a la Syria), then equip the RPG-7 with such ammunition itself begs

Well, actually:
Duration of a patent for an invention

In accordance with Article No. 3 of Federal Law No. 35-FZ the term of the right to an invention is 20 years. This takes into account certain factors:
- the period of validity of the right to an invention is calculated from the date of filing the initial application with Rospatent;
- there is no extension right.

Have you been interested in? So check when and where the patent was filed. I suggest, never.

Quote: credo

On what grounds? Even if a patent was registered on the territory of the USSR, then its actions do not apply to the rest of the world, and if they did, then after 20 years (in exceptional cases, 25 years, for example, drugs), the patent ceases to be valid.

[credo]

You missed out on legal protection by focusing solely on the patent.
In fact, there are ways to protect your rights in cross-border and commercial transactions without using the patent system.
I do not know what the number of lawyers in Rosoboronexport and other government agencies responsible for the export of military-industrial complex products is, but I would welcome its increase in quantitative and qualitative composition to the level necessary and sufficient to protect the commercial interests of our manufacturers in this area.

Why and against whom are multiple microkernels? And decide whether cumulative or percussion ....

[dzvero]

Like shrapnel against infantry. It seems to me that modern body armor is not designed against this. A nucleus or a cumulative jet is probably the easiest to get. You understand that the idea is on the verge of delirium

[Nikolaevich I]

Quote: dzvero

Shrapnel versus infantry

In "due" time, an anti-helicopter shot was developed for the RPG-7 ... the striking elements are 12 small "shock cores"! It can be used as an anti-vehicle ammunition (armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles ...) and to defeat enemy manpower in heavy body armor (Quoting me, beloved ...)

[forcecom]

I suspect not, otherwise the method of defeat you have voiced is already becoming "traditional" for the armies of many countries. :)

[Finches]

Interestingly, is Sereda traditional? Take it and cast a shadow on the brutal product of the Soviet defense industry. Specialists need to take note of the attempt to grind the pro-Orthodox grenade launcher by a man with a Ukrainian surname And the RPG-7 is a thing!

[Cympak]

He screwed in a fashionable word, it is a pity that he did not add the traditional for us "unparalleled in the world" and the newfangled "based on new physical principles."

[nonsense]

well, for Europe it is quite a TRADITIONAL way ...

Maybe... ! In a sense, it is possible to create shots that were not previously in the ammunition load! But it is also possible that ammunition is meant of the same types that are already there, but improved (!) ... increased power, increased high-explosive and fragmentation action! Therefore . it is possible that you will be right! That is, despite the fact that "thermobars" are already being used with RPG-7, new "thermobars" may appear ... more powerful, additional fragmentation (and incendiary?) Action, with a cumulative "leader" ... In principle , there are such shots, but for disposable rocket-propelled grenades! But there is no problem for the RPG-7 either ... for example, the "unified" tandem PT-shot for the RPG-7 and RPG-29 "Vampire" ...

The same effect, but cheaper is shrapnel with a blast at low altitude.
This type of destruction of enemy manpower was used with the PMV and was very effective.

A double-action fuse must be "screwed on" to an ordinary fragmentation shot, either to a blow or to an electronic altimeter (explosion at a height of 10-15 meters). Pepper the lodged infantry in the open or in the undergrowth.

[Aaleks1974]

On the one hand, the "seven" is certainly an honored veteran, after all, 60 years in the ranks, not a joke! On the other hand, over-caliber grenades make it relatively easy to change the design of the shot, so, you see, the RPG-100 will meet its 7th anniversary!

This means that after the shot you will not think for another three months.

The whole range of shots for the RPG-7.

PG-7V; PG-7VM; PG-7VS; PG-7VL "Luch"; PG-7VR "Resume";
TBG-7V "Tanin"; OG-7 "Shard". Something like this.

Canister?
Disposable EMP ammunition?
And if you look at our "partners", then in their nomenclature there are also shrapnel and lighting ones that allow shooting from a confined space.
Still, I think, some kind of modernization or a new variation of the OG-7 anti-personnel shot, because the fight against the infantry has now become more important for the RPG than the fight against armored vehicles.

[Azimuth]

Apparently in a tendency that Europe is developing an unconventional bacteriological charge. Covid, novichok, kapusta kvashena ;-)

On June 15, the Soviet RPG-7 grenade launcher celebrated its 60th anniversary.

So yes, no one said a bad word about RPg-7. Unkillable! And with a new shot, his life is extended.
By the way, the photo is very cool!

[Flashpoint]

And how to understand this? Well, let's dream.
Sitting in a trench, you heard the rumble of enemy armor. I took a seven with a new ammunition, without looking up shot. And the grenade flew up, at an altitude of 30 meters, a sharp change in trajectory, after another 100 meters, it was divided into cassettes and each with hypersound flew to look for targets.
And the fighter sits, smokes and listens to long breaks in the distance, everything subsides, and only the wind brings the smell of burning.
And the order is given to the soldier himself !!! Of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, on awarding the Star of the Hero
for the destruction of NATO armada all at once.

Everyone was hooked on unconventional principles of defeat, but they did not pay attention to the words about the third generation. The third includes products shot and forgotten? Those. does the new shot suggest homing on the target? The defeat in the upper projection? Maybe this is why it is unconventional, at least for an RPG for sure.

He probably meant
РПГ7(В), РПГ7В1, РПГ7В2.

If you group which shots are suitable for which modifications, you get three groups, each group can be called a generation.
So it is more convenient, you can indicate several modifications at once without listing them by one indication of the generation number.
(There are also side branches for the landing)

A new shot for RPG7V2, i.e. under the third generation RPG7.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The article mentions the defeat of manpower.

[Split]

Well, RPGs of this class exist, the same tou, the Swedes have developed a grenade long ago (well, or a rocket, a grenade launcher, as you like), which flies above the target and a blow is directed strictly downward. Even YouTube has videos ... looking too lazy

[Sukhoi]

This is you talking about TOW 2B - second generation ATGM. Here we are talking about an RPG, and besides, already the third generation! No ** I'm not clear, but very interesting)))

[Gado]

As for me - in the top ten. And I thought the same thing. Or maybe the range of the shot was increased, among other things.

[Nikolaevich I]

Quote: Sukhoi

does the shot involve homing on the target?

Anything can be! A certain "number of years" ago, the design bureau reported that they were going to start developing a "self-aiming ammunition" for a grenade launcher ...

RPG-old? Karl-Gustav is older! And they are not going to write off either! And there are a lot of types of shots for him. Including homing (ur)

A vacuum shot can be shot with an aerosol cloud for manpower.

[Basarev]

Still, the RPG-7 is outdated. He does not even have a breech loading. And if you consider that caliber shots in TPK, a rifled barrel and a reduced exhaust, which allows shooting indoors, are now in vogue, it immediately becomes clear how outdated the RPG-7 is. And if you look into the future, you can see that a single launcher is needed for all types of shots. ATGM, MANPADS and anti-personnel grenade launcher all rolled into one.

And if you look into the future, you can see that a single launcher is needed for all types of shots. ATGM, MANPADS and anti-personnel grenade launcher in one person

The unified PU is currently almost there (ground and transport options), it was developed by Belarusians and Ukrainians for Jordan, produced there (using a screwdriver) and is in service with its army and is exported by Jordan.
It remains only to attach MANPADS to it.

[Basarev]

Are you talking about RPG-32? Is it definitely not ours, basalt?

[DDZ57]

Are you talking about RPG-32? Is it definitely not ours, basalt?

Jordan assembles RPG-32 from kits supplied from Basalt (using a screwdriver, sealants and polymer sealing foil).
The sights for the RPG-32 are made in Belarus (a screwdriver assembly from KITs in Jordan is also quite possible).
PU - Ukraine and Belarus.
PU allows you to install and shoot RPG-32 and "Sugna - P". It is quite possible that the "Cornet" will be attached to it soon, tk. a contract was signed for their assembly in Jordan.

The RPG-32 grenade launcher is not in service with the Russian army. It was developed by Basalt, commissioned and funded by Jordan. The sights for it were developed in Belarus.

Quote: Basarev

now in vogue caliber shots in TPK, rifled barrel and reduced exhaust,

Caliber shots limit the power of the ammunition with a relatively "small" caliber ... In addition, where did the TPK for "K. Gustav" find? A rifled barrel impairs the armor-piercing capabilities of a cumulative ammunition ... "Reduced exhaust" can come in handy in some cases ... I think there are ways to do this with the RPG-7, but for some reason it "slows down" ... (I, for example, I figured out such an opportunity for the RPG-7 ... but at the same time the "rate of fire" of the grenade launcher is somewhat reduced ...)

Quote: Basarev

you need a single launcher for all types of shots.

Now a unified flame-thrower-grenade launcher complex is being developed ... There is a "multi-caliber" RPG-32
I think that it would be better if a unified flame-thrower-grenade launcher complex was developed on the basis of the RPG-32! But the RPG-7 also has modernization potential!

[Fitter65]

... disabling the enemy's manpower and uses for this "unconventional principles of defeat"

Especially considering that NATO has allowed the military of "non-traditional orientation" to serve on equal terms, this is our timely response.

[Evil 55]

"Shaitan Trumpet" is a terrible force ... but heavy, dog, and smelly after the shot ..

[Rusnemez]

There is a thought that the ammunition could be a Light Noise plague grenade.

The size is much larger than a hand grenade, if such a grenade flies into the building, then those who will not be reached by shell fragments will be concussed tightly ...

Then come collect the characters like a fish in a river after a block of TNT.

I also thought about the phrase - "an unconventional method", how's that?

It is already necessary to equip the RPG-7 with a normal sight with a laser rangefinder and undermining along the flight distance. Even with a standard shot with a rangefinder. the shooter will easily set the correct angle.

Eternal classics - a pig-driven machine!

[Barberry25]

In fact, you need to: equip the RPG-7 with a smart sight, screw cans on the shots in order to remove the "danger zone behind" and ensure firing from the premises. You can also work with fuel and a new engine for shots.Well, from the shots themselves, in addition to the RMG, this is a bicaliber Beam - put a leading KBCh in caliber 57/64 mm to activate the DZ and then you can get a long-range shot to work on modern BMP and tanks equipped with DZ

And it was not necessary to provoke people by raising prices. Asians are hot people, Russians are used to enduring it, but the result is bad, there are fewer of us every year. And the bandits joined, using the situation. If prices had jumped two years ago, it would have happened two years ago. And if in a year, then the pogroms were in a year.
