Where does the development of antitank rocket launchers go after the Russian RPG 30? The Kornet is already decently effective against western armor. The RPG 30 uses a decoy missile to overwhelm a tanks active protection system.
Launchers after RPG-30
Probably develop into systems that work, so not out of Puccia
Israel has developed a defense system against the RPG 30, so one decoy missile won't be enough. More decoys will be required.
An effective countermeasure against active protection systems will be able to survive and wither its defenses, reaching and destroying the target. A swarm of decoys won't be needed.
The decoy adds 1 kg.
2 or 3 extra decoys wouldn't be a problem, nil development cost. That's the problem of APS, it's isn't like armor.
Obviously we just need to develop a triple tandem charge
A good start, but maybe each tube should also get its own decoy tube
Is this the anti-tank launcher equivalent of when you played on the playground when you were little and invented magical weapons that can always 1 up your friends magical weapons by one? kek
Time Crisis 2 was right all along.
What's this defense system called? Any videos, tests for this system?
hamas is posting lots of video though its very unclear if it worked...
no aftermath photos/videos paints a pretty clear picture
I think it's just the Trophy's ability to reload in time or focus more than one blaster on the incoming threats and decoys.
>Effective firing range: 200 m
these shitty Russian man portable anti tank rockets keep getting shorter and shorter ranges and higher dud rates as they cram extra tandem charges and decoys and all this other bullshit onto them, adding weight and complexity
A few years back, they were testing a new launcher for the Ratnik Programe, but nothing have been introduce into service.
Pic is the 2 launcher were tested, they look similar to the AT-4.
Closer look of the laucnher
Abandoning it for portable loitering munitions because drone dropped heat charges seem to do the same job. Something like the switchblade with a heat charge could be devastating.
Matador/RGW90 is the future path of dumbfire shoulder rockets.
