John Kettler Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 If this is a field expedient weapon system, then I'm impressed. Shall wait for Haiduk's lowdown on this nasty little item. Were it not for the selfie, wouldn't likely have ever learned of this multiple RPG-7 system. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 How would anyone counter such a terrifying weapon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, John Kettler This procreation of gloomy genious of protracted position war is not serial specimen of weapon (though, it has own name, but I forgot what exactly). Just an invention of bored soldiers, known since 2017-2018. It found some followers in different brigades and these launchers are assembled by volunteers, but most of soldiers are skeptical about it, because this is just a waste of ammunition.

Very interesting but I totally see your point about wasting ammunition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The inserted rounds look very odd. I don't recognize them. I'm half convinced its a Vasilek 82mm mortar round strapped to an RPG rocket motor(?). Unless that's a repurposed HE round for the 73mm gun on the BMP-1. An expedient salvo mortar, it seems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they look like OG-9 grenades (for BMP-1 and SPG-9) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
