RPG-7 projectiles in Syria

[RogueAdventurer]

I've got a short piece written up on the variety of less common RPG-7 projectiles seen in Syria to date. I've got an OG-7 to add, also.

Any I may have missed, do let me know.

Also, if anyone has additional information on the Egyptian Cobra Tandem or the Iranian tandem HEAT, please get in touch!

Here's a PG-7L from one of the contributors at MP.net (http://www.militaryphotos.net/forum...ead-First-post-Excessive-graphic-warn/page370)

Also looking for images of SAA (especially headstamps) from Syria, if anyone has any.

Here's some shots of various RPG warheads, not from Syria though!

 

[RogueAdventurer]

Cheers! I think I can ID all but one (the third), but if you happen to have tech specs that may be useful.

The third one is a Bulgarian thermobaric warhead, i'll have to check on the model etc.

Is the tandem a PG-7VLT ?

Here's another PG-7 projectile from Syria, this one unidentified. Any thoughts, gents?

Chris Chivers has some new ones up here: http://cjchivers.com/post/33429641561/rpg-projectiles-in-the-current-syrian-war-on and here: http://cjchivers.com/post/33451429832/data-sharing-redux-rpg-7-projectiles-in-syria Some great shots of the Cobra Tandem.

I'm doing the write-up on these now.

I've got a new post up on RPG-7 projectiles in Syria. This update features Egyptian, Bulgarian, and North Korean examples - http://rogueadventurer.com/2012/10/14/update-rpg-7-projectiles-in-syria/

This one has some great images from C.J. Chivers, e.g. -

As always, if you spot any other unusual projectiles out of Syria, let me know. I'm also looking for SAA images (particularly headstamps/clear images of packaging), and serial numbers/factory markings on an small arms.

This one is on a recent Hamas pic. What is its origin?

 

[mogway]

I think it 's a Russian PG7 VR.

Yeah, Russian PG-7VR. Do you have the source for that pic?

 

[jonnyc]

I think it was from a Hamas source, but can't recall where I saw it.

I probably saw it in The Jerusalem Post or Debka.com

Unidentified RPG Projectile

Not exactly Syria, as I take it the picture was taken in Afghanistan or Pakistan, but has anyone seen the RPG projectile nearest (and later on) in the picture before?



It would seem to be some form of bounding airburst warhead, or even a large EFP type? Personally.

It is a old czechoslovakian VZ-27 launcher with the P-27 grenade, see http://forum.valka.cz/viewtopic.php/t/37213

Hallo,
the weapon is exactly called Pancerovka 27 or P-27, the round Nb-P27.
VZ - vzor (Mark in english) is not used. It comes from a short period in the 50s when a different "secret" number code was used.
As you can see on the czech web page it is a common mistake.

By the way, the weapon is more dangerous tho the shooter than to the target
If You ever find one NEVER shoot it!
