State scientific and industrial enterprise “basalt” completed development and tests of new antitank rocket launcher [RPG]-30, [ITAR]- TASS reports. The grenade launcher, which does not today have analogs in the world, the State Department of the USA already wrote down in the list “asymmetric threats” of American army. Soon it will begin to enter subdivisions [VS] RF. New grenade launcher is designed for the single-time application and is equipped with the tandem cumulative antitank grenade of 105- millimeter caliber. In the additional container [RPG]-30 is located the decoy, which is capable of activating the means of the active defense of enemy and of creating conditions for free destruction of target. All known world systems of active protection can counteract the new attacking means only with the specific delay, by which it is sufficient so that the grenade would strike purpose.
According to the estimations of experts, the shot [RPG]-30 breaks through to 650 millimeters of most contemporary armor after overcoming of dynamic protection, more than 1,5 meters of ferroconcrete obstacles, 2 meters of brickwork and the almost 4 meters of wood and earthen obstacle. To rescue from this grenade practically impossibly. In field conditions grenade launcher is capable to strike all types of consisting in arsenal and promising tanks, other armored and unarmored machines, and also personnel and protected strengthenings.
It is expected that besides the deliveries by the armed forces RF, will be permitted the export [RPG]-30.
The "decoy" rocket and "main" rockets reach the same target at a fraction of second interval.
The "decoy" rocket has 2 roles:
- It blows away existing ERA before the arrival of the main rocket.
- It gets active/reactive anti-tank systems like ARENA and TROPHY to engage the decoy rocket before the arrival of the main rocket. The decoy will be destroyed but the main rocket has tandem warhead to penetrate the ERA that has not been blown away in this case.
