Sure looks like it, with that fibreglass-looking launcher.

Anyway I was hoping the Ratnik system would have some kind of light reloadable rocket launcher like the RPG-7 or a recoilless launcher tough. For organic infantry support, light anti-armor, those sort of roles. I find disposable rocket launchers rather cumbersome. Each infantryman can only bring one each and they are individually quite bulky.

Whereas reloadable launchers with one gunner and two assistants can carry a good amount of ammunition (an RPG-7 gunner carries the launcher tube, while each rifle-armed assistant carries 3-4 rockets each). That's a significant amount of firepower.

The reloadable rocket launcher is carried by specially designated unit, just like the GPMG section. Disposable rocket launcher was not intended to replace reloadable launcher, but to provide ordinary rifle infantry with some anti-tank capability. It's lightweight, easy to operate with very little training and can be carried and operated by a single soldier. Reloadable on the other hand require some training. The weapon was intended to be use repeatedly, and so the operator must be trained on how to maintain and repair the weapon. The weapon and it's munition is also heavier, thus anyone that carry this weapon must sacrifice other combat load like rifle munition, thus making them less effective as a rodinary riflemen.

Because got permit. Everyone can do the same if you have the money and you can convince the Police that you really need such a measure. This one is Sultan Kelantan bodyguard. But still can't challenge Johor bodyguard.

During the 60s - 80s, Wataniah spend as much time in deployment as a regular army. At that time, if you see soldiers guarding/patrol roads, they are most likely wataniah.
