Syrian war once again demonstrated the terrible power of the Russian "Vampire"


The Russian anti-tank grenade launcher "Vampire" has become a real nightmare for tankers in many countries of the world. Despite the fact that the RPG-29 was adopted by the Soviet Army more than a quarter of a century ago, most of it can be easily destroyed even now. tanksconsisting of armies.

The weight of the grenade launcher is just over 12 kg. The length in the combat position - to 1850 mm. The initial speed of the grenade is up to 255 m / s. Aim range shot - up to 500 m. Armor penetration - more than 650 mm armored steel for dynamic protection.

For the first time, “Vampire” was talked about in November 2005, when fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah movement attacked Israelis. As a result, IDF experts were at the disposal of the wreckage of jet grenades, which were identified as Vampire rocket grenades. Due to the presence of a tandem cumulative warhead, PG-29В shots were rated as very dangerous weapon against the Merkava tanks, including the fourth model. The Israelis accused Syria of supplying these anti-tank weapons to a friendly Shiite group.

At this time, the Israelis were already working on the Trophy active defense complex, but they did not have time to bring it to the next aggravation on the Lebanese-Israeli border in July 2006. As a result, Israeli tank columns invaded southern Lebanon, where they faced fierce resistance from Hezbollah, which actively began to use various anti-tank weapons, including the Vampire RPG.

9 August 2006, the Israelis, who suffered significant losses in the tanks, attacked Russia, which, they say, could not "control their supplies to Syria." Israeli soldiers allegedly managed to capture the RPG-29. Photos of these trophies appeared on the Web.

After the failure of the Israeli operation in Lebanon, "Vampires" "surfaced" already in Iraq: for example, at the beginning of 2007, the deputy commander of the US troops in Iraq
Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno reported that the Shiite rebels had received an RPG-29 from Iran. This, apparently, is a copy of a Russian grenade launcher, the production of which was established in the Islamic Republic. Although the Iranians themselves, however, like the Syrians, have always denied arms shipments to Iraq.



After that, most of the losses in armored vehicles, if, of course, they were not blown up by land mines, were attributed to these anti-tank grenade launchers. Americans did not want to admit that their "best in the world" Abrams "could easily be knocked out of the old RPG-7.



The most famous was the case of defeat of the tank "Challenger-2". The rocket-propelled grenade hit the lower frontal part of the hull and, breaking the dynamic defenses, seriously wounded the leg of the tank driver, who became disabled. His family sued the British Ministry of Defense, they accused the military department of Her Majesty that their relative was convinced of the invulnerability of this tank. In addition to the driver, two more crew members were injured.

Once again about the "Vampires" remembered during the war in Syria. This country received them at the end of the 90's. During the fighting, the facts of the defeat of the T-72 tanks from RPG-29 were noted. Moreover, not only T-72М1, but also T-72AB, equipped with the first-generation dynamic protection “Contact-1”, were hit. As a rule, the hit of the grenade's reactive grenades led to fatal consequences: an explosion of ammunition and loss of crews. It is worth noting that the armor used in Syria so far has not received effective protection against RPG-29 type grenade launchers.

Unfortunately, despite its high efficiency, the Vampire still has not found wide use in the Russian army, although at present it is considered to be one of the best military experts in the world.

    Fortunately, after 1943 in the Russian expanses, where the military units of the RF Armed Forces are mainly deployed, tank battles (except for tank biathlon) have not yet been observed ... laughing

        Well, actually, the RPG-30 is being delivered to the Russian army, which has the ability to overcome KAZ. And the RPG-29 does not have this capability.

    On August 9, 2006, the Israelis, who suffered significant losses in tanks ...

    No, not tangible, but I would even say disastrous. fool
    9 of August
    Around 11: 00 "Merkava" MK.2 of the 847-th armored brigade was in the area of ​​the village of Aita a-Shaab. The tank lost track due to a technical breakdown or simply stood still, and at that moment an ATGM hit it. The whole crew died: Gilad Shtokelman (company commander and tank commander), Nir Cohen, Nimrod Segev and Noam Goldman. According to another version, Gilad was outside the tank, at this time he was replaced by a loader in the place of the tank commander. The tank hit a land mine, with the explosion a tower being broken, the loader was killed, the rest of the crew were injured. Gilad climbed back onto the tank and began to help the wounded, at that moment the tank was hit by ATGMs, Gilad and the wounded were killed.

    Total 1 (one) tank.

    Noteworthy is the use of RPG-29 by Gadget on Gaza by Merkava IV on July 22nd, 2014.


    At this time, the Israelis were already working on the Trophy active protection complex, but they did not manage to bring it to mind before another aggravation on the Lebanese-Israeli border in July 2006

    Not true. KAZ had already been brought to mind by then. There was simply no money to equip them with tanks.

    After the failure of the Israeli operation in Lebanon,

    What kind of failure does the author talk about? Israel in 2005 could not even dream of such luck. The northern border of Israel has since been quiet and calm.

              Oh, the Jewish diaspora became more active in the person of the professor (although has anyone seen his scientific works on the defense of such a high scientific title?), As soon as they were touched for "living", that is, for the fact that they are the type of people "chosen" and, in principle, can not do anything shitty. Citizens who consider themselves Jewish (I am addressing this because I consider this "citizenship" to be a state of mind) why do you not have gratitude to Comrade Stalin? Or have you lost the memory of who you owe your statehood to? And to remind you how you "honestly" repaid Russia for its support?
              Sorry for the emotionality, but the opinion of a "specialist" by whom a "professor" is positioning himself is the delusion of a certain person who has very relative notions about the actual use of weapons. (if participated, let him voice where?). And doing PR of Israeli weapons in Russia is at least stupid. So this sent "Cossack" has other goals. We draw conclusions - what?

          As far as I know, the IDF recognizes the loss of 46 tanks, of course, the author clearly didn’t express himself in more than one selected day, 46 this is not a little considering that it is more than 10% of the tanks involved, with more than 10 times the superiority of the forces, it was swinging over the enemy.

                  Let's stop misleading readers.
                  In the end, in August 2006, some Amir Peretz and Avi Dichter officially admitted that in a week of hostilities in Lebanon, the Israeli army lost three dozen Merkava tanks. It is of course clear that they cannot reliably know this - the positions are not the same! After all, the first at that time was the Minister of Defense, but the second Minister of Homeland Security was a small fry.
                  And then anyone who is familiar with the term "combat effectiveness coefficient" can say that the RPG-7 had 0,3, I believe the RPG-29 will be higher.

                    In terms of the effectiveness of the RPG-7 (and the vampire too), it is worth noting such an interesting thing - the value ratio (it was here that the Jews hurt the "live", then the bish for the finances laughing ) How much is a vampire (or RPG-7) and how much is a merkava? And how much does it cost to train a skilled grenade launcher, and how much is the tank crew?

              this defeat was not "hit", and in half of the cases, penetration into the fighting compartment often resulted in the death or severe injuries of the crew, the rest of the cases were not scratched either.

              not irrevocable because they removed the pile of iron and restored.

                        You're right. Israel blew all wars. Moreover, having a numerical advantage in manpower and equipment and a quality advantage. In addition, tens of thousands of "advisers" fought for Israel. But ... thanks to PR, everyone knows a different story. fellow

                        Ok) let's evaluate it ourselves. A couple of questions like "you yourself believe that"?
                        1.In 18 days of fighting (6.10 - 24.10.1973), the Israelis managed to destroy 555 aircraft and 2250 tanks? (if the answer is yes, then than did they destroy it all?)
                        2. Zvi Gringold on the Centurion destroyed 30 T-60 and T-55 tanks in a 62-hour battle (as I understand Wittman smokes modestly on the Tigris against the Shermans)
                        3. Lebanon War 1982. for 5 days, the Israelis shot down 103 aircraft produced by the USSR without losing a single one (2 pieces from MANPADS do not count)
                        4. 8 M60-1 tanks knocked out the 85 T-62 without losing a single one. True, then stupidly drove into their mines and lost 4.
                        5. Erez Gazit with a regular shell from the M60A1 tank knocked out the T-62 at a range of 5600 meters.

                        Everything was different there. The Egyptian and Syrian armies defeated the Tsahal and took so many trophies that they put them into service and are still being used. And by the way, the Arab armies reached Jerusalem at the distance of an artillery shot, but Israel, as always, was lucky. The UN intervened and prevented the valiant Arabs from completing their just cause.

                        And here it was the other way around. The Israelis tried to build a water canal in order to deprive the valiant warriors of Allah of water, but the brave Arab tankers from an incredible distance hit the Zionist construction equipment and prevented the construction of the canal.

                        Nowhere and never will you see in Israel the phrases "the best in the world" or "numb analogs in the world" in relation to anything Israeli. At most, they can call someone "soldier number one of the IDF" (this is about Barack, not Obama). No one will write that "the best pilot-ace, the best tank-ace, the best machine gun, the tank, and he is also the best Massad" in the world about Israel. The most productive in Israel will say the maximum. They do not like to show off here, they are very stingy with awards and praises. From the colonel and above, no one is awarded at all. A downed plane is credited to the pilot only when there is either irrefutable evidence or 2 independent testimonies. Etc.

What RPG-29 came to the Middle East? in the mid-90s, several hundred people cheated on them and this is no longer a secret. It seems to you that there’s just nothing to be attached to and what is the desire of the professor to get? Well then, this is banal trollism.

Was the KAZ on Merkava and in what condition the tank was after the shelling from the video is not clear, the only thing that is not in doubt is that if the KAZ was then PG-29 it was shot down because it represents an easy target for it (large, slow, not maneuvering ) if KAZ wasn’t then the sideboard is definitely broken - with what consequences for the tank and the crew one god knows - how lucky it can be fatal and maybe a light shell concussion and a partial loss of combat readiness - a record for 1995.

But why bother talking about your miraculous developments at every step, if you can stupidly take them into service in the required quantity without too much noise and dust, in which case you can effectively use them for defense. It’s better to quietly arm yourself with normal weapons than to scream at every corner about your achievements. The enemy isn’t either, you won’t scare him with pontoons ...

Well ... to assume that after a while an RPG-29M with a reduced length will appear. Also, there have been "talks" about the development of "new" shots for a long time: self-aiming, anti-helicopter and anti-tank corrected, with a trajectory turn ... That's just waiting for these "shots" - By the way, there are opponents of the development of new grenade launchers, who prove that it is more expedient to develop "wearable" (shoulder-launched) missiles .... anti-tank, "anti-bunker" ...

    The article is a rare nonsense, RPG-29 was crammed into service with the USSR Armed Forces back in 1989. but it wasn’t supplied to the troops - for one simple reason that at that time pros worked for GRAU who understood that a vampire was unnecessary in the army and simply couldn’t find a place for him in the staff list - there is no staff unit - accordingly there is no time sheet and there is no number of pieces needed as the pinnacle of evolution - there is no production plan and release.
    The RPG-29 is second only to the RPG-28 in stupidity, the Vampire is an initiative development of the Basalt, which was based on the not very successful and long-obsolete French RPG LRAC 89 (developed already in 1964) with a caliber increased to 105 mm , using a pulse generator from the RPG-16 and unlike the French, in which each grenade is in a disposable TPK attached to the rear of the gun, we have an almost 2-meter barrel of the gun just half of the bayonet connection only for ease of transportation and the grenade is inserted from the rear along the old fashioned way. Why stupid and unnecessary? because in terms of effectiveness, vampire grenades are no different from RPG-7 grenades - PG-7VR "Resume", TBG-7V "Tanin", because in fact the b / h is the same, the range in theory is greater for 29 in practice from - for "mortar" ballistics, the effective range for a target such as a tank will be the same, because at ranges over 200 m, the error in determining the distance is another ten meters
    will lead to a miss, at the maximum ranges prescribed in the brochures, only experienced testers can shoot and hit targets in the conditions of the training ground when the range to the target is precisely known. As a result, the seven is much more "useful" in the troops than this log, so it is quite fair that a regular place was not found for it.
    True, at the beginning of the 2000's there was an interesting attempt to reincarnate a vampire already in the role of LNG on a machine with an optoelectronic sight with a laser range finder and ACS, but even now it is only in prototypes - the range is small for LNG.

      True, at the beginning of the 2000's there was an interesting attempt to reincarnate a vampire already in the role of LNG on a machine with an optoelectronic sight with a laser range finder and ACS, but even now it is only in prototypes - the range is small for LNG.


      Yours is true, there is such a proposal! By the way, "Hashim" also has a proposal for an easel version with a KPU (computerized sighting device) ....

                But what about the country, the flag of which is on your avatar, has not yet been replaced by the M-16? because she’s already half a century. The reason is simple - as long as there is no product seriously superior in performance characteristics to the armament that is in service, it makes no sense to spend money on a new one, the balance of the characteristics of the seven is still unparalleled and therefore it makes no sense to change it, by the way for these half a century now RPG-7V3 is already in service, a big plus sevens is the grenade’s over-caliber which allows ammunition designers to play essentially with b / h without touching the grenade launcher itself, and now for seven there is a wide range of shots - cumulative, tandem, thermobaric, chemical and fragmentation. On the issue of weapons of the branch and the opinion of experts from America - to understand the place of a vampire, you just need to hold it and a grenade in your hands, and it is also desirable to pull it and everything becomes clear right away - I happened to go with it on basalt and about some experts I I doubt it very much.

      Lebanon Second War: Rethinking and Reassessing Results
      Most Israeli citizens, journalists, and even experts considered Israel to have lost this war.

      In general, the Israeli media were not able to give an objective assessment of the hostilities and actively helped create an atmosphere of general discontent and disappointment.


      Criticism from the government forced the resignation of Defense Minister Amir Peretz and Chief of the General Staff Dan Halutz, and irreparable damage was caused to the reputation of Prime Minister Olmert.

      and further:
      The Second Lebanese War was not a failure for Israel ", five years after the end of the war (now 10): “Overall, however, Israel ended this war with major strategic and political gains. The northern border has been calm for five years. Despite opposition from Hezbollah, the Lebanese army has taken up positions in the southern part of the country. An international military contingent is stationed along the border with Israel. All this creates considerable difficulties for the Shiite group. The line of defense of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon has been destroyed, it is difficult for the members of the group to move openly with weapons in the area. ... The IDF has restored its capabilities allowing Israel to contain the Shiites. "

    The most famous case was the defeat of the Challenger-2 tank. The rocket-propelled grenade hit the lower frontal part of the hull and, having overcome the dynamic protection, seriously wounded the tank driver, who became disabled, in the leg. His relatives filed a lawsuit against the British Ministry of Defense, they accused Her Majesty's military department of having convinced their relative of the invulnerability of this tank.

                        Summing up, it was the USSR that was draping it from Afghanistan, throwing its fighters under 3 hundred, leaving its allies to be torn to pieces and throwing a bunch of weapons to the enemies. hi

                        This is not entirely true. Of course, the withdrawal of a hundred-thousand-strong group with all the infrastructure for 9 months can hardly be called an unhurried conclusion, but this also does not seem to be draping. For example, I got into Afghan training in November 87, in early spring it was already known about the upcoming withdrawal of troops and the training began to be disbanded. But of the 820 people, half was distributed in parts on the territory of the Union, and half was still sent to the DRA. Personally, I got to Afghanistan at the end of May 88 and left there in January 89. In addition, they slowly began to withdraw from there before the official announcement (for example, 5 regiments in October 86). So, in my opinion, this is not particularly similar to draping.
                        PS: By the way, for some reason all the reports about the withdrawal of troops were from Termez, and no one even remembered Kushka, and we left it through her.

                        And this is not so. Three more years after the withdrawal of troops, both our military and our advisers remained in Afghanistan, and these weapons were intended specifically for them and the Afghan army. By the way, when these reserves ran out, they established an air bridge and 4 Kamaz convoys (50 vehicles each, as far as I know) for the delivery of humanitarian and military cargo.

                        There is certainly some truth in this, but only a fraction. There were no Geneva agreements, our military, technical specialists and advisers remained, missile and airstrikes were inflicted from the territory of the USSR, military and material assistance was provided up to 92 years.

                        And here you can’t really argue. At the time of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, the list of missing persons totaled 296 people http://www.rsva-ural.ru/library/mbook.php?id=384, and at the beginning of 2013 - 264. Officially, it is engaged in the search for missing persons in Afghanistan Committee on International Warrior Affairs under the Council of CIS Heads of State but as it turned out to be of little use to him. And this taking into account the fact that Rabbani partially kept his promise, returned part of the prisoners of war.

    In 24 cases (47% of the number of hits), the cumulative jet pierced the armor of the tanks, apparently in 3 cases of these 24 tanks detonated the ammunition.
    In total, about 60 BTT units received combat damage, including 48-52 tank. 5 tanks were irretrievably lost - 3 from hit ATGMs (one each Merkava Mk.2, MK.3 and MK.4) and 2 from explosives (one Merkava MK.2 and MK.4).
    Killed 31 fighter of armored forces, incl. 30 Tankers. In addition, another 4 soldier - 3 in the D9 and 1 bulldozers in the heavy Puma armored personnel carrier, died from ATGM hits in the BTT.
    Tanks "Merkava", especially the latest MK.4, showed excellent resistance to combat defeats. On average, in each tank whose armor was broken, 1 tanker was killed, and the ammunition, apparently, detonated in only 3 of the 24 shot through .... (info from Israeli news sites).

    Heavy and long infection, even RPO compared to it is a fluff. It is very inconvenient to shoot from hands (most likely impossible), I cannot imagine how to catch the aiming point with an 18kg pipe, only from a bipod or with support on something. In terms of accuracy, of course, it beats any RPG "below" with an index, it is easy to close up to 300 meters in a square of 50-50. It’s a pity we didn’t manage to get acquainted with it in the LNG-type "equipment".

    The bottom line is this: it's not a fact that RPG-29s get into the tank, but it doesn't matter. If we are talking about the old Syrian T-72 without a sensible DZ and hitting the side (maybe the roof) - it will certainly be burned unambiguously, this tank was not calculated to "tank" the RPG into the side (roof) If the escort infantry gave an aimed shot into the side ( roof) - then everything will be sad for almost any tank. Why almost? Here KAZ can help and it will certainly SIGNIFICANTLY, ORDERLY reduce losses from such shots or single ATGMs in a guerrilla war, here you just need to recognize the great relevance of equipping armored vehicles of the Israeli army with such systems and they go ahead of the whole planet.
    If Merkava 4 gets into the side of the modern RPG (roof), then the consequences will also be sad and this is also a fact. Without KAZ it’s just a good tank, with KAZ it’s probably the best in the world, because most of the bearded with a shaitan pipe are not afraid of him, and now such wars are a priority.

    There is everything, but "Vampire" is not. An empty pipe may be lying around
