Because they themselves can’t do it, or acquired for comparison, in order to create a likeness later on. . .
In electronics, they fumble, there is nothing to say, but in mechanisms of various kinds, they get G or 3 times more expensive. . .

[sprut]

There’s nothing to add ...

[Sergh]

Yes, Americans to the Swedes lost the cards.

Perhaps the purchase of foreign weapons that we cannot produce is also an option! True, in this case, it is better to buy a license and produce it yourself. Let it be expensive but it is produced in the country!

What can we do, we buy electronics for technology, we have brains, only 15 years was a complete collapse, and there, under 500 - 600 billion a year for the defense industry. . .

This is exactly the kind of weapon they don't

To increase the effective firing range for Carl-Gustaf M3, active-reactive shots were developed that have an additional rocket accelerator grenade, which is switched on after a shot at a distance of 10-30 meters from the shooter.

Well, of course, where without rocket launchers, make an article about Hashim. . .
When I wrote about our brains, I meant this little thing. . .

Guys explain in the photograph what tool?

[Pavel V]

Americans are not Chinese. Cloning this creation will definitely not. To begin with, they will compare the indicators, and then they will analyze, examine, strain their brains and give out something anologically new, trumpeting their next success in this area. And then to the market to everyone who wants to sell.

[kosmos84]

completely lost control, they don’t want to do anything themselves

It's not about laziness, but in the brain. . .

Officially, three Cereusheiks in America received America’s highest award for developing in addition to the ideal plan to destroy the Soviet Union, the plan included: luring the Soviet Union into the war against Afghanistan and involving ours in a terrible war. Having developed the stinger and bazookas. Our economy fully deployed to the war in afghanistan, and now estimate: a spinner is flying, which costs the Soviet economy 3 dollars, it is hit by a stinger worth $ 10000000, a plane is worth $ 80000, it is shot down by the same stinger, it’s eating a tank with a value of $ 30000000, it is burned by a bazooka worth $ 10000000-20000 dollars, respectively, for 30000 years we were in the anus. Respectively, it was even more interesting, the coup in Russia, we began to live in Russia ...
Then we have internal problems with Chechnya, he knows how much bullshit went there, then the second Chechnya goes there, then Ossetia and there, because they pulled their nose during Syria, but if we stick up in Syria, we will be poor) I understand that war is the engine of the Economy, but the Americans will tear us apart, you count on nuclear weapons, you haven’t forgotten about the disarmament program, laughter. secondly, imagine how much money is needed for the maintenance of nuclear weapons, thirdly, the Americans know all our missile points, so they created a front from the north- west to south of Russia with NATO bases, where rockets that will stick from the satellite directly over the rocket mines will stand, in the fourth they launched two satellites that weigh exactly over Russia on each of which twelve nuclear warheads aimed at all strategic regions of Russia, namely to supply the defense industry, they even prepare special detachments, which in the case of everything will break through to Baikal and Amur (we have all the nuclear potential and special missile launchers there to shoot down our missiles at the start. AT THE END OF THOSE CONSIDER NAKHUA PUTIN IN THE SOUTH URALS BUILDING UNDER MOUNTAIN YAMAT AU BUNKER FOR 400000 PEOPLE ,,,,

[bashkort]

Mount Yaman Tau ("Bad Mountain" in Bashkir, there since ancient times fonites with radiation, not a fig grows on it).

[Sergh]

This one, her levanchik8444, and what did you want to say? Didn't make the list "400000" or what?

[Cap-3 USSR]

He seems to have jammed with this info, but there is nothing more to write.

[maksim]

With the submission of the United States and Pakistan special services, the Afghan mujahideen began to use the Stinger MANPADS only in 1986 two years before the withdrawal of our troops

[Cap-3 USSR]

In addition, as soon as the stings appeared in Agan, our special forces got them and quickly learned to fight them.

[Mesniy]

they didn’t learn how to deal with them, just when the turntables began to fall every week they began to put thermal bombs on fire, and on silt 76 empty tanks were filled with inert gas, and then after the Bondarenko’s crew was shot down, the rocket fell into the plane between the engines and detonated the kerosene vapor. the filling system was already tested at that time, but until they peck at the point, they do not itch.

[Mesniy]

and before that they used the cheaper red-eye and Soviet arrow bought by the Saudis from Israel, which they captured from the Syrians.

[Specialforce]

Yes you are my friend (levanchik8444) of those who are sitting under the bed when it rains outside!

[bashkort]

Why did they show the picture from the ATGM, and not with recoilless? And with whom such an armored vehicle, one wonders, are Pindos going to fight with the use of anti-tank missiles of practically close combat? High-precision already over chtoli? So Obamaayugenda will come with trophy faustpatrons)))

[Sergh]

bashkort, I will say more, as if the amers didn’t have to bury landmines on the roads.

[Mesniy]

that's only on whose roads ...

Why did the ATGM picture show

anti-tank recoilless gun, named after the Swedish king Charles X Gustav. The full name is "Granatgevr 8.4cm m / 48 Carl-Gustaf". It is a light dynamo-reactive single-shot weapon with a rifled barrel. The staff of the gun consists of two people - the shooter and the loader.

[bashkort]

Yes, I feel like a veteran of the 1st cavalry army in the exercises of the Warsaw Pact countries))) In my time the recoillessness looked completely different))) And this is some kind of grenade launcher - an overgrowth ....

[maksim]

Swedish engineers developed one of the most successful post-war anti-tank weapons - the 84mm Calr Gustav dynamo-rocket anti-tank grenade launcher is a historical fact and they know a lot about it

[Drcoks]

Also wanted to write =)
The small arms of Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Austria are also bought by many, albeit in small batches.
We would also have time to come up with something new instead of RPGs

[Krilion]

RPG-32 "HASHIM" seems to be nothing at all ...

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

Well, it’s mono for Pindos to buy foreign equipment, but we don’t need hamsters in shit to bury themselves because they even have German cannons, Italian pistols, a Belgian machine gun and you can count a damn thing.

[J_silver]

Can they sell them a Molotov cocktail recipe and a glass bottle production line?

[Specialforce]

no (J_Silver) what are you !? - this is our strategic weapon! - how then will we show the Pindos "Kuzkin's Mother" !?))

[figwam]

So the Pindos are preparing to wet the enemy’s armored vehicles in close combat, using a dry army, then this will be an invasion of the territory of a state that has a significant number of tanks, but whose air defense does not allow them to destroy equipment from the air with impunity.

[Specialforce]

(to figs) I figured it out - most likely they are getting ready to land again, where in the Arab region ..

[J_silver]

A strange network-centric war turns out - to shoot at someone else's armored vehicles from a distance a little further than an outstretched arm ...
The set should include diapers for "heroes" ...

[Mesniy]

Well, if you had heard anything about the fights in the city and about the New Year’s Eve 1994, you wouldn’t write such garbage.

[Konstantm]

I remember Germany before the Second World War there bought 88mm guns ...

[Mesniy]

88mm guns were developed before the war jointly by the Germans and the Soviet Union somewhere near Kazan, and in the German army 88 was called the "Russian cannon"

[Charon]

I didn’t understand something. Why, instead of a photo of the guns, is a grenade launcher placed? Or is it the same now?

[bashkort]

They say that yes - so now recoilless guns look. I will not be surprised if it will now be possible to shoot from a mortar from a pocket)

[Mesniy]

there are 40mm mortars, you can shoot with your hands resting on the ground. without a base plate.
back in the late 80s did, read in ZVO

[Tyumen]

Yes, this is the level of * Kassama *.
