An advanced metaphysical ATGM, it's on a different plane of existence and can penetrate any and all armor, by just going around it.

   I like how that company guy several times told that this RPG is not made in communist country like this is a selling point, lol. Somebody call him, USSR is dead for 30 years. Also, i don't think RPG-7 name is unavaliable for use.

I am curious about how the PSRL compares to a brand new RPG-7V2. From Airtronics website the PSRL is 6.35 kg but the RPG 7 without a scope is 6.3 kg.  He is talking about the GS-777 variant so why he didn't make the main selling point that its 4.3 kg I don't know.

And something unusual.

 

DP-61 Duel' 55 mm caliber grenade launcher.

https://war-time.ru/item/dp-61-duel

 

   Was designed in end of 1970s for Soviet Navy to defend ships and coastal structures against attacks by frogman. 2 man crew, loaded from rear, max range is 1 km, aimed fire - up to 500m, weight - 6 kg. Elevation of tube instead of the sights to account for ballistics at given range is visually noticeable feature of this RPG weapon.

 

   RG-55M rocket propelled grenade is used. It have contact fuze for surface targets and delayed fuze if gunner tries to engage enemies underwater. Delayed fuze is set by a special key that lets crew select a depth of detonation. Kill radius is about 18 meters. 3 types of grenades are avaliable - contact/depth detonation grenade, signal, training round.

Of course, a bit better known 2 tube version of DP-61 Duel - DP-64 Nepryadva grenade launcher. 

   Unlike DP-61, DP-64 isn't mass produced for our Navy, although was adopted for service and also DP-64 is a grenade launcher, while DP-51 is basically an RPG launcher like RPG-7. 

 

 

10Kg, max range is 400 meters, loaded from through rear breach with 45 mm caliber FG-45 grenades. Grenades have depth fuze like on RG-55Ms on DP-61, can be set up to 40 meters depth detonation with kill radius of about 14 meters

Something that was posted on otvaga - PPU sight for RPGs

 

https://www.romz.ru/ru/catalog/granatometnyj-pricel-ppu.htm

 

Quote

   The device provides the ability to observe, search, detect, recognize a target in the daytime and at night within the visibility of the target, allows you to measure the distance to the target with a laser range finder from indications of the measured range in the field of view, as well as the direction and speed of the target.

 

   Automatically determines the temperature and type of ammunition by a signal from the BCT and changes the type of ballistics, taking into account the type of installed ammunition (up to 10 types of ballistics). It takes into account the shooting conditions: range to the target, temperature, target movement, wind, target elevation angle, atmospheric pressure. Automatically calculates the aiming and lead angles and enters the aiming mark into the field of view of the sight, taking them into account. Informs about readiness for firing after entering the aiming mark. Based on the received data, it automatically determines the flight time of the grenade.

 

   The device includes an all-day sighting channel, a laser range finder, sensors for measuring the parameters of firing conditions (temperature, atmospheric pressure, target elevation angle, stall angle, etc.), a ballistic computer, a device for entering aiming angles, a parameter display device, a power source, communication channel with peripheral devices. 

 

   Here is our new RPG prototypes with such sight (or similar one from different company):

Interesting bits about 9M113 ATGM use (Konkurs ATGM)
https://vk.com/video-123538639_456280006

   For 10 meters missile flies lower than aiming point, builds up speed, then for about 800 meters missile is flying not very "straight", low chances of hitting target, soldier on video recommends using this ATGM at targets at ranges of 1km+ only.
   One of tips he gave - if firing at stationary target, after missile launch operator can just leave launcher and sit in cover, because missile have big flames wich helps enemy to spot launch.
