Описание: The RPG-7 (short montage) / Aruncatorul de grenade A.G - 7

The RPG-7 (Russian: РПГ-7) is a portable, reusable, unguided, shoulder-launched, anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Originally the RPG-7 (Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт – Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot, Hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher) and its predecessor, the RPG-2, was designed by the Soviet Union; it is now manufactured by the Russian company Bazalt. The weapon has the GRAU index 6G3. The English-language term "rocket-propelled grenade", though frequently encountered and reasonably descriptive, is a backronym for "RPG" and not based on a literal translation.

The ruggedness, simplicity, low cost, and effectiveness of the RPG-7 has made it the most widely used anti-armor weapon in the world. Currently around 40 countries use the weapon, and it is manufactured in several variants by nine countries. It is popular with irregular and guerrilla forces. The RPG has been used in almost all conflicts across all continents since the mid-1960s from the Vietnam War to the early 2010s War in Afghanistan.

Widely-produced, the most commonly seen major variations are the RPG-7D paratrooper model (can be broken into two parts for easier carrying), and the lighter Chinese Type 69 RPG. DIO of Iran manufactures RPG-7s with olive green handguards, H&K pistol grips, and a Commando variant.

The RPG-7 was first delivered to the Soviet Army in 1961 and deployed at a squad level. It replaced the RPG-2, having clearly out-performed the intermediate RPG-4 design during testing. (Wikipedia)

Cunoscutul lansator de rachete RPG-7 este fabricat in Rusia si reprezinta un model imbunatatit al lansatorului de grenade anti-tanc RPG-2.Prima varianta a dispozitivului, RPG-7V, a fost adoptata de armata sovietica in anul 1961 si se afla inca in uz in Federatia Rusa si in alte peste 50 de tari.RPG-7 poate fi considerat de departe cea mai eficienta arma anti-tanc creata vreodata.Initial a fost creat pentru a distruge blindajul aplicat pe transportoarele amfibii insa mai tarziu au fost introduse grenade anti-personal si anti-tanc.Arma se incarca prin partea din fata, iar datorita designului fara recul, in spatele acesteia se creaza o zona periculoasa.RPG-7 foloseste grenade anti-tanc cu mai multe nivele de detonare, dispozitive cu fragmentare sau chiar cu sistem termobaric ce utilizeaza oxigenul din mediul inconjurator pentru a determina un impact mai mare al exploziei.
