The acquaintance of foreign mercenaries with a grenade launcher of the Ukrainian development RG-1 "Piston" is shown

The Kyiv regime, against the backdrop of heavy losses among the military personnel and the low combat capability of the mobilized, is increasingly relying on foreign mercenaries. The active participation of the so-called "wild geese" in separate offensive operations is already noted. Thus, mercenaries are the main striking force in the ongoing attacks on the Svatovo-Kremennaya sector.

Accordingly, there are more and more shots with militants who arrived for the sake of earning money in the square. One of the videos shows the acquaintance of English-speaking mercenaries with a Ukrainian-made RG-1 Piston grenade launcher.

This product was created at Yuzhmash to equip infantry formations with a less bulky means of suppression compared to the AGS-17. A 30-mm grenade launcher with a gross weight of 12,5 kg is operated by one person and is capable of hitting both manpower (fragmentation shells) and lightly armored vehicles (cumulative ammunition) at an effective firing distance of 800-1000 m. At the same time, VOG acts as the main means of destruction -17, which is also equipped with AGS-17.

Work on the new product has been going on since the early 1990s. RG-1 was first shown to the public in 2014. Work on the project resumed after the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine in 2014.

"Piston in the hollow and crank" - the recipe for the success of LGBT pigs.

[Bulgarian_5]

Dill copied the German Rheinmetall-a grenade launcher SSW40...

[Barberry25]

The crossbow grenade launcher would not hurt ours .. 2 tkbshki on the GP and you could not think about the infantry offensive

[Shelest2000]

It would not hurt to recall the Baryshev ARGB-85 grenade launcher. Wouldn't hurt our guys at all.

[Barberry25]

well, he will have a shorter range, but in any case, it is necessary that each infantry platoon have a couple of AGSs or similar systems for Oporniks

[YOUR]

The recoil is too strong. There is no damper on the butt. So you will let the store out and go to the hospital with a broken collarbone.
Somehow something does not work with mercenaries. Konashenkov in his reports says that there are no more than 2000 of them left in / in Ukraine. What impact can such a number of people have on the course of the b / a?

[Barberry25]

well, they could still be brought up + used in small groups

[Ros 56]

So he was talking about the dead mercenaries, but who counted the living?

[YOUR]

He said that there were 6000 mercenaries, 2 remained.

[Ros 56]

Well, it was a joke of humor, but I didn’t just frame my faces.

[Shelest2000]

First read the article about this ARGB-85. He has recoil at the level of the grenade launcher

[garri-lin]

Why didn't you like Gnome??? Well, a little blah blah blah, otherwise they don’t let the post.

[Barberry25]

the fact that it does not have range advantages compared to a conventional grenade launcher, yes it is suitable for assault operations, but for the defense of the oporniks you need a grenade launcher that can fire at ranges of 800+ meters and then either put a full-fledged AGS-17, etc., or make an ersatz- versions, at least single-shot, but with the possibility of long-range fire. In fact, this is a replacement for an 82 mm mortar, it is difficult to attack with infantry when the AGS is working on you.

[garri-lin]

You have answered every possible question. Install a full-fledged AGS. No ersatz will help. Or a full queue for any distance. Or sheer pain. Neither Baryshev nor this piston can replace a full-fledged AGS. And the Dwarf will be able to do what these crafts can do.

[Barberry25]

it all depends on the pace of production .. if a plant can make 1 ags or 000 barrels for an ags, then let it make 2 ags and 000 ersatz.

[garri-lin]

The plant just does not have to make ersatz. Especially in peacetime.

[Barberry25]

Well, let's start with the fact that we do not have peacetime, but completely military time, so between 1 AGS and 000 AGS + 1 ersatz I will choose the second, since in this case we will get a greater density of fire

[garri-lin]

Do you know about the existence of warehouse stocks ??? Caliber and Iskander are one thing, which have been in service not so long ago and there are no stocks that have been accumulating for decades in warehouses. And let's combine the AGS with a half-century history.

[Barberry25]

given that now they cannot issue night machines in the required quantity, there is no certainty that the required number of AGS is available

[garri-lin]

Well, that's your personal opinion. I won't dispute it.

[Novic2U]

The payoff is strong. After a dozen shots, the shoulder will come off.

Drawn attention to the same.

And in the name stupidity comes through.
"Piston" - some kind of crap. "Hornet" - back and forth.
And the piston / ramrod / cork / plug .. on the edge would be called "tampax".

[Bingo]

And I don't see the point. At medium distances, AGS is a terrible thing. And this one ... Single shots will not make the weather. They said, they say, such will come in handy for the assault - nonsense, too healthy. Here is the one that the specialists have for three shots - this one is quite a second weapon, but you can’t drag this fool around.
In short, dead end

[Yuri Pravoslavny]

The question is where they are riveted. Find out and send a bouquet of Geraniums there.

[dmi.pris1]

The article says. At Yuzhmash, I personally don’t see a special prodigy there. Recoil, the shoulder goes to the legs

[MBRSS]

As expected, they will fight not even to the last Ukrainian, but to the last Afro-African mercenary.

PS The following thought arose: The mobilization potential in American prisons will be bigger than ours. Is it possible to send prisoners to foreign legions, as if to work? After all, they work at home in private firms, without interruption from serving their sentences? Maybe I messed up something, then I'm sorry.

And where to put the Poles, then?

[dmi.pris1]

African-African, who is this? Chimpanzee?

[Plate]

Yes. Superweapon. Can single-handedly disperse an entire unit.

[alex aircraft]

It is very similar to the Baryshev grenade launcher. The Russian MoD refused it, they seemed to want to release it in Belarus. Most likely it is a copy of it.

[Andrey_Ivanovich]

at the beginning of the SVO in a cart, I saw footage using a similar apparatus by some group of the RF MTR in the forest, at night, the apparatus lit up there was similar in configuration to this one, but with a thermal imager it was and did not look as handicraft as this one, most likely not Belarusian and not Russian production, very high quality product judging by the appearance.

[Gvardeetz77]

The wrong author wrote about the grenade launcher, if Kirill R., he would have shown how this piece of useless metal looks like a pile of excrement.

[Azerbaijani_Game]

All the same, it is dangerous for the health of a fighter.
Apparently, therefore, it is not in the production of other countries.
So, grenade launcher, or AGS.

[Andrey_Ivanovich]

In general, it is dangerous for a fighter’s health to fight, and similar devices are being produced in other countries, above I have given an example of a similar device that has lit up in the MTR group of the Russian Federation, judging by its appearance, the product is not experimental, serial, made according to high-quality proven technology.

[Askold65]

At the same time, the VOG-17, which is also equipped with the AGS-17, acts as the main means of destruction.

And where is our AGS-40 "Balkan"? Is everyone experiencing?

3 vampires enter a bar and sit down at a table. The waiter comes up.
1st:
- I'll have a glass of venous blood.
2st:
— I need a glass of arterial blood.
3st:
- I'll have a glass of boiling water.
The first two look at him in surprise.
3rd takes out a used Tampax and says:
- And I'll indulge in tea ...

[forester]

and what, their hammer does not thresh anymore? - piston towards them or after them in the hollow

Here Prigozhin invites Afghans who have passed the American school!)))

[yuriy55]

The ACS is more practical, which allows you to fire without harm to health.
Both AGS-30 and AGS-40 already exist in nature with a firing range of up to 2 m.
Why do we need this handicraft Bandera creativity?

[Glucky73]

Pistons, they are dudes, the simplest shoes of peasants from a piece of rawhide.

[AVESSALOM]

"Piston" .. Homosyatina breathed.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

GM-94 looks like a much more reasonable development, acceptable weight and caliber of 43 mm.

[GAndr]

To freak out there is a return ... a very primitive design, apparently.

[aszzz888]

Top photo.

From the shot, the head of the Ukronazi comes off! Judging by the store of pieces, there are 5 grenades in it, no more, so you won’t get much with this.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

The recoil of the Ukrainian grenade launcher is strong, in my opinion our AGS-30 will be more effective.
