Default Re: Strange RPG aviability date??

"What I was looking for too is the date the different RPGs were phased out"

Hard to tell, as the russians are quite reluctant to throw away equipment: I have seen pictures of D-44 85mm guns being employed in Chechenya. I would suspect that the RPG-2
might have been theoretically available to Category C units until 1991. A lot of obsolete equipment was officially phased out at that date. It is also possible that the earliest RPG-7 rounds of the 60's followed the same fate. But pretty much anything else in that list, from the RPG-7VL onwards, should still be in use.
