Russian designers have created a new weapon with "intelligence" - a multi-purpose rocket grenade (RMG). Vitaly Bazilevich, chief of KB-2, chief designer of NPP "Bazalt", told RIA Novosti about this. There are no analogues of the device in the world yet.
A special "smart" fuse itself determines how much to delay the time of the explosion, depending on the thickness, cruelty and strength of the barrier. The RMG is based on two charges: cumulative and thermobaric.
"The head part of the grenade has a cumulative effect, which breaks through an obstacle, for example, a concrete wall. The second part of the grenade is of a thermobaric type, flies into the hole and explodes. Due to this, not only the wall itself is affected, but also the enemy behind it," he said Vitaly Bazilevich.
In addition to destroying fortifications, the ammunition is capable of striking lightly armored vehicles of any modifications. The grenade even overcomes dynamic armor with ease. With the new weapons, targets can be destroyed at a distance of 30 to 600 meters, the manufacturers say. According to the designers, the RMG has passed all the necessary tests and from next year it can enter service with the Russian army.
