M90 Hornet RL
 

I can't seem to find any external information on the Yugoslavian "M90 Hornet RL."
I've been using it in a PBEM campaign in 1991. It is the sharpest AT weapon the Yugoslavs have apparently capable of puncturing a value of 80. Seems really strong, so I wanted to look it up and can't find any information anywhere. Can any one help?

cheers,

These links are for the same weapon:

The Hornet name comes from the nickname Strsljen.

120mm seems hefty for shoulder-launched. :confused:

12 Kilograms is a lot to lug around, mind.

18 kgs is even worse - but doable, probably more so if you have an APC or jeep nearby.

The -29 seems more logical to me, it's not a "RPG" in usual sense but more like a light RCL (in the B-10/SPG-9 etc. category) but with more punch. RPG-28 seems too heavy to be worth lugging around with one shot and rather limited range... better have everyone with a lighter LAW (even though unable to pierce modern MBT from the front) and have heavy support in form of RPG-29 on platoon/company level, esp. in Russia along with light ATGMs (Metis-M).
