A Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) is a portable, shoulder-fired weapon designed for military use. It comprises a launcher tube, a rocket-propelled grenade, and a sighting system. The RPG is designed to engage armored vehicles, fortifications, and enemy personnel at ranges of up to 500 meters. The rocket-propelled grenade is equipped with a shaped charge warhead, which can penetrate armor, or a high-explosive fragmentation warhead, which can cause significant damage to soft targets. The RPG is typically operated by a two-person team, with one person loading and firing the weapon, and the other providing cover and assistance. The RPG is widely used by military forces worldwide due to its versatility, effectiveness and relatively low cost.
