Rpg 75

Would somebody have a better image of operation?

I'm new here so let me say Hi: Hi everybody!
AT weapon was always under my special regard. Nevertheless I knew RPG-75 well, its fuze was a mystery for me. And finally I've found recently these pictures on czech forum:

And everything (almost) has became clear.

Przemo, I'm new here as well and It's a real pleasure to be.

So, I tried to figure out the mystery of the fuze by myself according to your advise, but unfortunately I couldn't.

Please be so kind to share us your conclusion, that will much appreciated.

Is this of any help?:





Anybody out there with detailed info on the warhead of the new thermobaric version?

[highlandotter]

being language impaired, I get an idea that this thing has 2 fuzes, one point and one base. Or does the point fuze set off the base one? Can anyone explain this, in English, of course!

[EOD]

"PIBD" to be correct. To my understanding the base element just has a detonator safety which slides the det forward into armed position. The initial impulse should come from the nose section which has an arming delay (as we know it from mortar fuzes - non spin types)

Thanks, I feel much better in that my gut feelings were somewhat right.

Thanks guys for these valued comments and the added info, but I still missing how the order will be transferred from the nose to the base detonator, it looks mechanical as I can't see any peizo or crush switch or any of the usual stuff, I will be grateful and much appreciate a clear explanation.

[EOD]

The nose section has a primer which is set off on impact and the flames go through the empty space inside the projectile and hit the detonator in the base element.

That was fast man, thanks a lot.
