   Yuri Lyamin on otvaga about new video of ISIS branch in Egypt:

Quote

   Militants from the so-called "Velayat Sinai" of the terrorist organization "Islamic State", who continue to fight with Egypt in the north of the Sinai Peninsula, in another video of their activities showed footage of improvised grenade launchers that they themselves are doing there.

   The most interesting thing is that the warhead of the shot was created from Mk.118 submunitions from Mk.20 Rockeye cluster bombs, which are used there by the Egyptian Air Force.

   MARCH 9, 2021. The Balkan 40mm anti-personnel automatic grenade launcher has successfully passed state tests. Prior to this, the weapon underwent experimental operation in the troops.

   “Based on the results of the tests, the 6S19 Balkan grenade launcher was recommended for adoption by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation,” said Alexander Kochkin, executive director of the Engineering Technologies NPO, to TASS.

 

 

  40 mm for this thing are caseless.

What report is that from?  I would be very interested to see the whole thing if you have it.

I did find this picture of a TOW missile in flight, you can see it's significantly nose-up:



Edit:  Derp, I just posted the same picture you found.

One of the persistent mysteries I am trying to solve is why exactly the Swiss purchased the Dragon ATGM system, which was a pile of crap, when MILAN existed, which is only a few pounds heavier and also actually works.

 

I found this publication, which contains an article on Swiss bicycle troops.  As of 1994, the Swiss had three entire regiments of bicycle infantry.  I thought this might be an answer; even though MILAN is only a little heavier than Dragon, for a bicycle-borne infantryman, a few pounds could make the difference.  But no, this is not the explanation.  The article states that the antitank companies of the bicycle regiments were motorized.

   "Variant" shovel-grenade launcher. Yes, you heard it right. Shovel GL firing VOG-25s.

Does anyone have pictures of the MILAN's motor nozzle?  @Alzoc?
