Default Re: New Chinese RPG smallest ever

not that i have any particular inclination of providing free input anymore, but to help PK and Shan with their great work:

new themobaric warhead for the RPG-7

From Jane's (abridged):

Designated the WPF 2004, the fin-stabilised rocket has a launch weight of 3.2 kg and becomes armed 35 m to 50 m from the launcher. Muzzle velocity is 89 m/s with an effective accurate range quoted as 200 m against a 0.45x0.45 m target.....

According to the manufacturer, no special training is required to use the WPF 2004 thermobaric rocket and no modifications are required to the launcher.

The new WPF 2004 can be launched from all standard and RPG-7-type unguided rocket launchers as well as the NORINCO 40 mm Type 69-1 anti-tank rocket launcher (ATRL).
