US Army Tests Soviet-Designed Rocket Launcher



U.S. Army infantry platoons may one day be fighting with an Americanized version of the famous, Soviet RPG 7 anti-armor weapon.

Army testers recently evaluated Airtronic USA Inc.'s RPG 7 as part of service's annual Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment.

"The durability, simplicity, low cost and effectiveness of the RPG 7 has made it the most widely used man-portable anti-armor weapon in the world," according to the AEWE's Systems Book of selected technologies chosen for this year's experiment.

But the Airtronic RPG is quite different than the 1960s-era Soviet weapon. Its tube is made from 4140/4150 ordnance grade barrel steel and it features several sections of rail for attaching optics. It weighs about 14 pounds unloaded and without optic.

Many soldiers involved with the experiment have faced enemy forces in Iraq and Afghanistan that were armed with RPG weapons, Army officials from the Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Benning, Ga., said.

"There was a great deal of interest because there were a number of guys that had been deployed had seen it from the other perspective," said Harry Lubin, chief of the Experimentation Branch of MCOE's Maneuver Battle Lab.

Reports: Pro-Russian separatist forces storming Debaltsevo city

Initial reports are emerging that pro-Russian separatists have stormed the city of Debaltsevo from the east within the last hour or so. Latest reports say intense street fighting breaking out in suburban area. Casualties already piling up for both sides.

Donno how much they can take before sunday. There's estimated 7,000 Ukraine gov soldiers & paramilitary units in the city.

anybody know why we chose pt-91m?? other than weight, the t84m seems a lot better with capability to launch atgm and also has active protection, and its only heavier by 5 tons which is not really a lot considering the amount of goodies it has compared to pt91m
are we gonna get anymore tanks??

If we decide to buy more tanks what do u think will be most suitable for us?? T84m?? K2?? Type 10??

my thoiught exactly. they both share the same design(both are heavily upgraded T-72), so the boys has little trouble migrating to one another

nothing wrong with PT-91 but since the poles is withdrawing them from front line service, there's no reason that they gonna continue the production line. now they ar concentrating on production of their rosomak instead

problem is, Russia-EU relation isn't good right now

mampu ke kita nk license produce menatang tu?

is there any upgrades that can be done to the PT-91?

if so maybe it can become a MT-92
MT Because its produces (probably by DRB-Hicom) in Malaysia and
92 because its a upgraded 91 

Type 10 for me
hehe
but only after the second batch of Pendekar

Anyone know what kind of helmet is this? I noticed some US soldiers are wearing it? I took this from a TV series. Is this US new combat helmet?

Would rather the army save money and get more modern  tanks compared to those soviet era design tanks

Pt91 although  heavily upgraded it still in end an soviet  era design

They're made of what anyway? I don't see it as being made of ballistic Kevlar. I don't get why SF guys prefer wearing these kinds of helmets.

the crew requirement is still the same
just that they need to familiarize driving a heavier and wider vehicle. I also read before that K2 can be mod for wider track due to korean experience during  korean war. Plus, the vehicle thermal insulation can be removed since we dont have winter here

turkey "Altay" is worse at 60+ton. Dunno what they add until even heavier than the original K2

Currently watching Special Forces-Philippine Marine recon on History channel.

OMG, In the middle of parachute jump test (only using just ONE Huey helicopter no less, bcoz Pinoys totally don't have any flying airplanes), the helicopter was called away due to some kind of clashes with communist guerrillas in another part of country, so jump test is postponed a few days.

It's so distressingly ridiculous, made me ROFL  and shed a tear in bewilderment at the ridiculousness of it all. 

the MA uses dirtbikes for that no?
