ATGMs and RPGs for infantry - a thread for rebels around the world to choose their ATGM supplier.

Definitely an armbrust.

Those things have a way of getting around.  Khmer Rouge and IRA both got their hands on them somehow.

Those things have some noticeable differences:

No sights, different forward handle and box near trigger. muzzle area also different.

Hmm, you are right.  I thought it was a jihad-customized armbrust for sure (hack off sights, put tape over the muzzle).  But looking at it now, I'm not sure what it is.

This is not the first time mysterious launchers have shown up in Iraq.

ISIS made a launcher for S-5 unguided rockets that are used in rocket pods for CAS (helis and planes).

Yuri Lyamin post about Iranian Toophan ATGM variants.

 

Quote

   Since the moment TOW was copied in Iran, at least six different versions of ATGM have been created, named from Toophan to Toophan 6, while the word TOW is stored in the marking, so Iranian missiles like TOW-4, TOW2M-H2, etc. appeared.

 

   Various versions of the Toophan missiles that are produced in recent years.
Toophan 2 - conventional ATGM with tandem warhead
Toophan 3 - the analogue of the American ATGM BGM-71F TOW-2B and is designed to attack armored vehicles from above
Toophan 4 - missile with thermobaric warhead
Toophan 5 - ATGM with tandem warhead and laser beam guidance system. Therefore, an upgraded launcher is required
Toophan 6 - it is not yet clear whether a rocket is a laser beam guided system and thermobaric warhead

   And this is our Iranian advertising poster of the Iranian ToMPan 4 ATGM with a thermobaric warhead, also from the last exhibition in Baghdad. Apparently Toophan 4 is the same Iranian TOW-4 ATGM, which I mentioned in a photo from Iraq last year,

   Fresh photos of the box and the transport-launch container of the Iranian TOW-4 ATGM in Iraq close-up. Once again, the red strip on the ATGM draws attention, and the Iranians apply a red strip to the thermobaric version of the Iranian version of the Kornet-E missile - Dehlaviyeh, although there it is without black dots.

ISIS use this mysterious RPG a lot. Rumors are going around that it is ISIS-made grenade launchers

The picture of it firing suggests that it's definitely not an armbrust.

That doesn't matter as much as a fact that ISIS can serial produce their own weapon systems like that rocket launcher.

Indeed.  Suddenly, being able to make a submachine gun secretly in a car repair shop looks a lot less impressive.

 

Hoping that pictures of a captured one will come out soon.  I'm curious what these things are like inside.

German Army + industry testing Wirkmittel 90:

 

Wirkmittel 90 (Effector 90) is an evolution of the RGW-90. The first series production models are currently being evaluated/validated for standard use with the German Army. It has a range of 1,200 metres (twice that of the currently used PzF-3IT-600 and more than twice that of a RGW-90). It is being used by the special forces of Army and Navy since an unknown amount of time already.

 

 

Like all cool and modern RPG/davis gun in the German Army, it includes it's own fire control system and laser rangefinder. According to one of the guys in the video, it's accuracy is "nearly 100%", which is achieved thanks to a sustainer rocket motor and the projectile gathering wind and acceleration data, which is used for in-flight correction by the projectile. The muzzle velocity is about 200 m/s.

 

 

The development of the Wirkmittel 90 for the German Army started some time after 2005, when the company was test-firing prototypes and invited a member of the German military procurement office to watch them. He was very impressed with the accuracy and range. The weapon can fire four types of ammunition: HE-FRAG (programmable ammo with air-burst option), smoke/fog, IR illumination and training ammunition. The German Army wants to use it to engage MG nests, infantry in structures or on open fields and unarmored/lightly armored vehicles.

 

It is currently in series production for Germany, official introduction will be in a few months with an official handover ceremony.
