A rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) is a type of weapon that uses a rocket motor to propel a grenade toward a target. It is designed to be fired from a handheld launcher, making it portable and easy to use. RPGs are often used against armored vehicles and fortifications due to their explosive power and ability to penetrate armor. The most common RPG is the RPG-7, which was developed in the Soviet Union and has been widely used in various conflicts around the world. RPGs are typically guided by the shooter’s line of sight, allowing for relatively accurate targeting at short to medium ranges.
