Who can supply RPG Launcher / Ammunition?

The RPG-7 (Rocket-Propelled Grenade) is perhaps the most iconic and widely used shoulder-fired, anti-armor weapon system in the world. Its success stems from a simple, rugged design that allows a single infantryman to deliver significant firepower against tanks, fortified positions, and personnel.

​

The system is "reusable," consisting of a steel tube (the launcher) and a variety of specialized grenades (the ammunition) that are inserted into the muzzle

The Ammunition: Specialized for the Mission

The versatility of the RPG-7 lies in its ammunition. Different warheads allow the operator to switch from "tank hunting" to "infantry support" simply by changing the rocket.

​

1. PG-7VM (High-Explosive Anti-Tank - HEAT)

The PG-7VM is an improved, slimmer version of the original PG-7V.

  • Purpose: Specifically designed to defeat armored vehicles.

  • Mechanism: It uses a Shaped Charge. Upon impact, the explosive collapses a copper cone into a high-speed jet of molten metal that burns through armor plating.

  • Performance: It can penetrate approximately 300mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA). It is faster and has a flatter trajectory than the original version, making it more accurate at longer ranges.

2. OG-7V (Fragmentation / Anti-Personnel)

Unlike the PG series, the OG-7V does not have a shaped charge for armor.

  • Purpose: Designed for "Anti-Personnel" use—clearing trenches, rooms, or attacking infantry in the open.

  • Mechanism: It consists of a sleek, pencil-like warhead filled with high explosives and a pre-fragmented steel body. Upon impact, it sprays lethal shrapnel over a wide radius.

  • Note: It does not have a rocket motor that fires after it leaves the tube; it relies entirely on the initial gunpowder "boost" charge to reach its target.
