The RPG-30 Kryuk is a disposable anti-tank rocket launcher developed in Russia. It fires a 105mm rocket with a tandem shaped charge warhead. The RPG-30 is unique for featuring a preliminary dart projectile that defeats active protection systems. The dart fires first to trick the APS, followed by the main rocket. This design makes it effective against modern tanks equipped with hard-kill APS. The launcher is a single-shot disposable unit that extends before firing.
The RPG‑7 is a man‑portable, reusable, unguided anti‑tank rocket launcher developed by the Soviet Union’s Bazalt design bureau. Conceived as a low‑cost, high‑impact solution for infantry to defeat armored vehicles and fortified positions, its design philosophy emphasizes simplicity, ruggedness, and ease of mass production. The launcher consists of a steel tube with a simple flip‑up rear sight and a detachable, reloadable rocket cartridge. Its primary purpose is military, though it has proliferated to irregular forces worldwide. Key innovations include a shaped‑charge warhead capable of penetrating up to 260 mm of rolled homogeneous armor, a dual‑purpose propellant that ignites both the launch charge and sustainer motor, and a universal 40 mm caliber that accommodates a wide variety of warheads (HEAT, HE, thermobaric, smoke). The RPG‑7’s reputation rests on its reliability, low logistical footprint, and iconic status as a symbol of guerrilla warfare, while its distinctive “saw‑tooth” warhead and characteristic back‑blast make it instantly recognizable.
