Americanized RPG-7 is ready for asymmetric warfare in complex terrain
October 19, 2015
The US weapon manufacturer AirTronic USA is offering its Precision, Shoulder-fired Rocket Launcher (PSRL), anticipating future requirements for simple and effective weapon systems for asymmetric warfare in complex terrain. AirTronic USA’s answer for these requirements is the ‘Americanized’ version of the Russian-designed Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher – the RPG — a low-cost, reusable, safe and reliable weapon system, of which over 9 million units are in use with military and insurgent forces worldwide.
The US manufacturer two new models at the AUSA exhibition in Washington last week, along with a new range of ammunition that extends the weapon’s effective range to beyond 2,500 ft. (800 meters) with a 90 percent chance of the first round hitting; guided rounds and other enhancements could extend the weapon’s range to 2,000 meters. The company acquires rounds for the weapon from Chemring Ordonance which produces them in the U.S., which can allow The Pentagon to buy RPG-7 rounds domestically for transfer to friendly militaries who use them instead of sourcing them from Eastern European suppliers.
