Designed to combat tanks of all types, including those equipped with dynamic protection, and other armored vehicles, suppressing firing points and manpower in buildings and structures. Reusable grenade launcher. Equipped with mechanical, optical and night sights.

The complex is based on a 105-mm shot with a tandem warhead. The main difference between the PG-29V round and those previously used in second-generation hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers is the absence of a propellant (starter) in its composition.
charge. The grenade receives propulsion from a jet engine, which operates only when
within the length of the grenade launcher barrel. The PG-29V shot engine can be produced in two versions (with a chamber made of fiberglass or steel) and
reports the initial speed of the vehicle before firing. Absence of an active trajectory section - engine
finishes work before departure - simplified the rules for taking into account corrections for side winds.
The tandem warhead of the PG-29V shot has two parts - the front (precharge) and the main, connected to each other by a tube. The action of the warhead of the PG-29V round is similar to the warhead of the PG-7VR round. When the front warhead hits the DZ, it initiates an explosive attack,
the DS plates fly apart and act on the cumulative precharge jet. At the same time, the fuse of the main warhead begins to function. The main purpose of the PG-29V round is to destroy tanks with dynamic protection. In addition, it can be effectively used to suppress firing points and defeat enemy personnel located in buildings and structures
made of brick or reinforced concrete, wood-earth shelters.
The design of the PG-29V jet engine is similar to the RPG-27 grenade engine, but its powder charge is ignited by electrical impulse trigger mechanism generator.
The shot has two main parts: a tandem warhead and a jet engine with a stabilizer. Giving an electrical impulse
to the electric igniter of the reactive charge occurs through an electrical circuit through a contact
ring on the grenade stabilizer. A similar charge ignition scheme is used in grenade launchers.
SPG-9 and RPG-16. Upon reaching the engine chamber
a certain pressure, the forcing unit is pushed back, the stabilizer is released from the contact sleeve and the grenade begins to move. The jet engine operates only within the length of the grenade launcher barrel, then the grenade's flight
happens by inertia. Stabilization of the grenade's flight is ensured by eight stabilizer blades, which open after the grenade takes off under the action of springs and the oncoming air flow.
To monitor the flight of the grenade and adjust the fire, the grenade has a tracer.
The RPG-29 grenade launcher in the stowed position (disconnected) consists of two parts and is carried in a pack on a belt. The RPG-29 is transferred to the combat position by connecting pipes
rotary coupling. The grenade launcher has a folding bipod. An open mechanical sight is mounted on the barrel. The main sight is a 1P38 optical sight with a field of view of 13° and a magnification of 2.7x. The RPG-29 grenade launcher can be equipped with a 1PN51-2 night sight. In this case, it is designated RPG-29N.
The combat rate of fire of a grenade launcher when served by two crew numbers - the grenade launcher and his assistant - reaches 4 rounds per minute. Weight of grenade launcher with optical sight is 12.1 kg. The RPG-29 with the PG-29V round was adopted for service in 1989. In 1993 it was first presented at international exhibition IDEX-93 weapons in Abu Dhabi. Grenade
PG-29 penetrated a 300 mm armor barrier with a remote sensing unit installed at an angle of 60° (i.e. 600 mm along
the course of the cumulative jet).

RPG-29 “Vampire” (TKB-0175, GRAU index - 6G20)- Russian hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher. This is a modern weapon of a motorized rifle squad for defeating all types of modern tanks, armored and unarmored vehicles, as well as manpower in defensive structures various types.

Caliber: barrel 105 mm; grenade 64/105 mm.

Type: jet engine on a grenade

Length: 1850 mm in combat-ready position, 100 mm in folded (stowed) position

Weight: 12.1 kg unloaded, with optical sight and bipod; 18.8 kg in combat-ready position

Effective firing range: up to 500 m

Armor penetration: dynamic protection + more than 600 mm of steel armor

The RPG-29 anti-tank rocket launcher was adopted by the Soviet Army in 1989, and is designed to combat the most advanced modern tanks, equipped with dynamic protection and powerful armor capable of withstanding conventional cumulative ammunition.

It is a development of such previous systems as and, but differs from them not only large sizes, but also nearby design features. The new grenade launcher inherited the tandem warhead from the PG-7VR grenade, with two cumulative warheads located one behind the other. The smaller front warhead is designed to destroy the dynamic protection unit (reactive armor) or anti-cumulative shield, after which the more powerful rear warhead directly hits the tank hull. A system with a detachable caliber smooth barrel for transportation was inherited, as well as a firing mechanism with electronic ignition of the grenade engine.

Unlike previous domestic systems, the PG-29V grenade is purely reactive. Complete burnout of the charge of a powerful rocket engine occurs during the time that the grenade is in a sufficiently long barrel of the grenade launcher, and the energy it receives is enough to achieve an effective firing range that is more than two times greater than the firing range of a PG-7VR grenade from. The grenade is stabilized along its trajectory using eight folding stabilizers located towards the rear.

Aiming is carried out using a standard 2.7X optical sight; in addition, reserve open sights are located on the barrel of the grenade launcher. To provide greater convenience for shooting from a prone position, a folding bipod-support is located at the rear of the grenade launcher.

Combat use of RPG-29 "Vampire"

According to unverified sources, the bulk of tank losses during the Second Lebanon War (2006) were caused by RPG-29 fire, produced in Russia. According to Hezbollah-controlled media, since the beginning of August, during battles with the Hezbollah group, the Israeli army began to lose 1-2 Merkava tanks per week. Mainly tanks of the first and second generations. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that there are no supplies of Russian weapons to the Hezbollah movement. However, experts suggested that the grenade launchers could have reached the Lebanese through third countries.

RPG-29
when shooting

The RPG-29 Vampire anti-tank rocket launcher was developed at TsKIB SOO from 1983 to 1989 under the designation KTB-0175. Adopted into service in 1989 with the PG-29V caliber round.

The RPG-29 “Vampire” grenade launcher is a weapon of a motorized rifle squad, designed to destroy all types of modern tanks, armored and unarmored vehicles, as well as manpower in various types of defensive structures.

RPG-29 is a development of such previous systems as RPG-16 and RPG-7, but differs from them not only in its larger size, but also in a number of design features.

From the RPG-7, the new grenade launcher inherited the tandem warhead from the PG-7VR grenade, with two cumulative warheads located one behind the other. The smaller front warhead is designed to destroy the dynamic protection unit (reactive armor) or anti-cumulative shield, after which the more powerful rear warhead directly hits the tank hull.

From the RPG-16, a system with a caliber smooth barrel detachable for transportation was inherited, as well as a trigger mechanism with electronic ignition of the grenade engine.

In order to achieve maximum convenience during transportation and use, the RPG-29 is divided into two parts. In the stowed position, the parts are placed in a special pack for carrying by one person. When brought into firing position, both parts are connected via a special connector.

The combat crew of the RPG-29 “Vampire” is two people.

in a stowed position

A trigger mechanism with a handle, a persistent folding bipod and a mechanical sight are attached to the body of the RPG-29 grenade launcher. The grenade launcher is also equipped with an optical sight for shooting at daytime and a night vision device for shooting at night.

Aiming is carried out using a standard 2.7X optical sight; in addition, reserve open sights are located on the barrel of the grenade launcher.

To provide greater convenience when shooting from a prone position, a folding bipod is located at the rear of the grenade launcher - a support.

RPG-29
with PG-29V grenade

The main ammunition of the RPG-29 is the PG-29V rocket-propelled grenade. This is a tandem ammunition with two cumulative warheads located one behind the other. The front warhead, with a caliber of 64 millimeters, penetrates protective screens and dynamic armor, while the main warhead, with a caliber of 105 millimeters, directly hits the armor of the combat vehicle. Armor penetration 650 mm.

Unlike previous domestic systems, the PG-29V grenade is reactive. Complete burnout of the charge of a powerful rocket engine occurs during the time that the grenade is in a sufficiently long barrel of the grenade launcher, and the energy it receives is enough to achieve an effective firing range that is more than two times greater than the firing range of a PG-7VR grenade from an RPG-7.

The grenade is stabilized along its trajectory using eight folding stabilizers located in its tail section.

Loading is done from the breech.

In addition, the TBG-29V thermobaric grenade can be used to combat enemy personnel.

The RPG-29 “Vampire” grenade launcher, despite the significantly increased specifications Compared to one of its predecessors, the RPG-7, it is relatively easy to operate, reliable and practically fail-safe in any climatic conditions.

Since the beginning of August, during the battles with the Hezbollah group, the Israeli army suddenly began to lose 3-5 Merkava tanks per day. The record was set on August 9, when the IDF lost 17 armored vehicles at once. The next day - another 13. In addition, five tanks were knocked out on the 12th, four on the 13th.

The data came through information channels controlled by Hezbollah, but Tel Aviv never denied it (although it did not confirm it). As a result, according to experts, in just a week of fighting, the Israelis lost dozens of armored vehicles that were considered “invulnerable” and “the best in the world.” It was the Merkava that the Israeli military leadership relied heavily on in solving combat missions in Lebanon. What happened?

SMUGGLING ROUTE RPG-29

First, Israeli Minister of Internal Security Avi Dichter, and after him the head of the country’s military department, Amir Peretz, immediately stated that the armored vehicles were destroyed by modern Russian-made anti-tank systems, which Moscow allegedly secretly supplied to Hezbollah. And the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, citing sources in the Ministry of Defense and the intelligence services of the Jewish state, clarified that we are talking about the massive use of RPG-29 (“Vampire”) hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers in Lebanon. Russia allegedly sold them to Syria, from where they fell into the hands of Hezbollah militants.

The Russian Foreign Ministry, through its official representative Mikhail Kamynin, immediately denied these reports, calling them “innuendos” that “cause, to say the least, bewilderment.” However, Kamynin hinted that it would be nice to provide evidence. Moreover, one day, in November 2005, after a militant attack on the positions of Israeli troops in the village of Rajar, Israel, contrary to established practice, handed over the tail part of one of the missiles to Russia for analysis. Then, let us remind you, the Russian answer boiled down to the fact that, without having a serial number, only by the Cyrillic letters on this piece, it is difficult to judge whether the anti-tank round belonged to the batch of weapons sold to Syria. According to RIA Novosti, citing experts in the Russian defense industry, Israel has provided similar “spare parts” to Russia now. But they also turned out to be “without numbers.”

On this occasion, the director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, Ruslan Pukhov, expressed the opinion that if Israel had real evidence of the supply of Russian weapons to Hezbollah, this would have been known to the whole world long ago.

However, as NVO was told by the head independent Center military forecasting, Colonel Anatoly Tsyganok, “even if representatives of Rosoboronexport had at their disposal a fragment of a rocket with a number, they would never have confirmed that it was ammunition from exactly the batch of weapons that was delivered to Syria or Iran or somewhere else- That".

“The scandal itself is, of course, interesting,” Tsyganok also said. – In the sense that Israel, therefore, can fight on foreign territory not only with its own tanks, but also mainly with American weapons (including armored vehicles, airplanes, helicopters and artillery), and the defending side, no matter how you treat it, can defend itself with foreign weapons weapons are not allowed. The subtlety of this issue is that if Tel Aviv, Washington, and the EU officially consider Hezbollah a terrorist structure, then in Russia Hezbollah was not included in the recently published list of 17 terrorist organizations whose activities are legally prohibited on the territory of our country. just like Hamas┘"

At the same time, Tsyganok emphasizes that “it would be wrong to interpret these words of mine as if Russia could, through some kind of direct supply, but, of course, through the “black corridor”, supply Hezbollah with RPG-29, I generally consider this to be a way of penetrating a grenade launcher to the conflict zone is unlikely.” “However, I do not rule out,” the expert continued, “that this anti-tank weapon could well have fallen into the hands of Hezbollah militants from Syria. Of course, it is unlikely that this was sanctioned by Damascus; it officially denies it, but it is no secret that smuggling channels have long been established in the Middle East through which weapons are transported to Lebanon. There was a report that Syrian military leaders may well be involved in organizing this “local black market.”

The same opinion is shared by member of the Duma Security Committee Gennady Gudkov, who believes that these weapons could have reached Lebanon through underground markets in Syria.

As for the fact that the Russian defense industry received grenade fragments “only with Cyrillic letters” on them, Anatoly Tsyganok believes that if the supplies were illegal, then the numbers on both the grenade launchers themselves and on the ammunition for them could have been “knocked down.” The technology here is approximately the same as in the auto theft business: when resale of stolen cars or when dismantling them for spare parts, the numbers of the engine and other units are “filed off.” However, this is just a version.

At the same time, a military analyst points out that “similar smuggling channels exist in other geographical areas, and RPG-29, with which it began to arm itself in 1989 Soviet army, then it began to be supplied to the Warsaw Pact countries, and to others as well, so this grenade launcher could well have reached Hezbollah from states that are now NATO members.” “In addition,” noted Anatoly Tsyganok, “we should not forget that many “Vampires” and their warheads remained in the republics of the former Soviet Union.”

Mossad Yawn and Miscalculation of the Israeli Ministry of Defense

At the same time, the head of the independent Center for Military Forecasting shared the following observation with NVO: “Judging by the quantities in which, as they say, the vaunted Israeli tanks were burning at a time, these deliveries to Hezbollah RPG-29, no matter where they came from, were most likely implemented recently. The fact is that even before the statements of Peretz and Dichter, an expert list of anti-tank weapons possessed by Hezbollah was distributed in the Middle East. Most likely, this list was prepared not without the participation of Israeli intelligence, which, as you know, has eyes and ears everywhere. So, quite a lot of weapons appear in this document: there is the old Russian RPG-7, and its Iranian copy “Shager”, and the 9K14 “Malyutka” ATGM, and its modernized version “Raad”, again of Iranian production, as well as the “Fagot” " and "Konkurs" from Soviet times and an Iranian copy of the latter "Tousan-1/M113", plus Iranian ATGMs "Tupan" and "Tupan-2", made from American models of the 1970-1980s. Please note, the list is quite detailed, but there is not even a hint of the presence in it of the relatively new and more effective RPG-29 grenade launcher than the RPG-7.”

From the expert’s quoted words, one can clearly conclude that until the beginning of August, Hezbollah militants did not have RPG-29s.

However, grenade launchers are grenade launchers, but it seems that something is wrong in the actions of the Israeli troops themselves. After all, if so many tanks were destroyed, it means that serious mistakes were made in the use of armored vehicles. In specific combat conditions, they obviously should have been thrown into the attack under the cover of airplanes or helicopters, with preliminary fire “clearing” of the territory on which the Merkavas were then to attack.

On the other hand, the Israelis repeatedly got into a tank hole once again confirms Colonel Tsyganok’s version specifically about the recent, already during the hostilities, deliveries of RPG-29: that is, Israeli tankers in “invulnerable” armor were thrown into battle in the expectation of fire from the RPG-7 or ATGMs mentioned by the expert, which would not be so dangerous for them, but ran into much more formidable “Vampires”. The RPG-29 grenade is designed, among other things, to penetrate the frontal armor of tanks such as the Merkava, which, in layman's terms, has additional degrees of protection, that is, with a grenade launcher it is not necessary to approach the vehicle from the side in order to hit it in the place where the armor “thinner”┘

BEAR SERVICE AND DIVIDENDS FROM IT

But after the aforementioned accusations thrown at Moscow by Tel Aviv, another rather interesting aspect arose in the problem of “secret deliveries”. As you know, almost simultaneously with the statements of Amir Peretz and Avi Dichter, Washington imposed sanctions against Rosoboronexport and Sukhoi Airlines. Their representatives regarded this US demarche as an attempt to influence the recent successes of the Russian Federation in the struggle for the global arms market (the more than 3 billion contract with Venezuela alone is worth something, it is underway active processing by the same “seduction” of Argentina). And against this background, both the head of the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the chief intelligence officer Dichter essentially did a disservice to the United States - as they say, they advertised Russian weapons for free, which, if used skillfully, can disable dozens of “the most invulnerable tanks in the world” during just one fight. Not to mention the fact that at the same time they created a “bad reputation” for their own “best in the world” tank.

And taking into account the fact that, in addition to tanks, Hezbollah successfully shoots down Israeli helicopters (American, by the way), sinks military boats and burns other armored vehicles (including, again, American ones), the effect of this “advertising” is only intensified. “We are grateful to the gentlemen from Tel Aviv for this,” an NVO source at one of the defense enterprises said about this (he, however, categorically refused to comment in any way on the “problem of supply” of RPG-29). “I think that against this background, it would be a sin for Rosoboronexport not to take advantage of the opportunity and try to speed up the signing of a number of contracts relating to the sale of small arms. And above all to those countries where the United States is losing its influence.”

It is curious that it was precisely these days in Kovrov (Vladimir region), where the famous arms factory named after Degtyarev (which also produces Igla man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems) is located, that it was announced that foreign deliveries of the powerful heavy machine gun "KORD" would begin ", which was successfully demonstrated at the exhibition of weapons of the Ground Forces "MVSV-2006" held in early August. This was reported, in particular, on August 11 CEO of this enterprise, Alexander Tmenov: “The KORD heavy machine gun has begun to enter service with law enforcement agencies, including Russian army, as well as for export as part of armored vehicles.” The fact that there are no direct supplies of KORD abroad yet, the head of the Degtyarevites called a “temporary phenomenon”: “Only for Last year Many foreign delegations visited our enterprise. Practical shooting from the KORD was conducted for potential customers. All our guests, without exception, show great interest in these weapons.”

An NVO observer at a training ground in Krasnoarmeysk near Moscow as part of the MVSV-2006 on August 4 himself observed demonstration shooting from a new machine gun. By the way, “KORD” with enhanced penetration bullets can hit both armored vehicles (except, of course, tanks) at a range of 2 thousand meters, and low-flying air targets, including aircraft, at a distance of up to 1.5 thousand meters.

RPG-29 hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher

The RPG-29 was developed and put into service in the late 1980s. Designed to destroy all types of modern armored and unarmored vehicles with a PG-29V shot, as well as enemy personnel in various types of defensive structures. It is simple to operate, reliable and practically trouble-free in any climatic conditions. Combat crew - 2 military personnel.

It consists of two parts: in the traveling position they are placed in a special pack and carried by one crew number. In this sense, the weapon is very convenient to transport. When brought into firing position, both parts are connected using a special connector. The grenade launcher is equipped with an optical sight for firing during the day and a night vision device for firing at night.

Caliber RPG-29 – 105.2 mm; curb weight – 11.5 kg; shot weight (grenade) – 4.5 kg; initial shot speed – 130 m/sec; armor penetration - 650 mm; target firing range – 450 m.

What equipment does Israel use against Hezbollah militants?

In addition to the nationally produced Merkava tanks, the Israeli army is armed with American armored personnel carriers M-113A1/A2 and M-577A2, as well as helicopters supplied from the United States, in particular, AN-1E\Bell-209, CH-53D Stallion, UH- 60 Blackhawk, S-70A, attack AN-64 Apache. Built in the United States and most of combat aircraft of the Israeli Air Force, the IDF received basic samples of field artillery guns from overseas, including 227-mm rocket systems volley fire MLRS.

Hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher (RPG). Developed by State Research and Production Enterprise "Basalt" (GSKB-47), general designer - A.N. Obukhov, designer - V.S. Tokarev and TsKIB SOO, designers V.I. Matveev, V.I. Zaitsev in 1983-1989 . under the symbol TKB-0175 based on the RPG-16. The development of the grenade launcher was carried out for a new generation of tandem cumulative rounds (grenades) for RPGs (GNPP "Basalt"). Fiberglass solid propellant rocket motors for one of the types of shots were put into mass production in 1986 (developed by NPO Altai, Biysk). The PG-29V tandem shot grenade launcher was put into service in 1989. The manufacturer, the Molot machine-building plant, produced a pilot batch of grenade launchers and exported them. Serial production for the Armed Forces of the USSR and Russia was not carried out ( ist. - E.I. Dubrovin, Deputy General Director of the State Research and Production Enterprise "Basalt"). The grenade launcher was first shown to the media at the IDEX-93 arms exhibition in Abu Dhabi in 1993.

Export: only one batch of RPG-29 was produced and exported, presumably to Syria or Iraq or Iran. Later, RPGs were probably also produced for export.

Mexico:
- 2007 - a number of RPG-29 with PG-29V rounds are in service. Perhaps the grenade launchers were supplied from a third country. It is also possible that a batch of RPG-29 was produced specifically for Mexico. There is unconfirmed information about the production of the RPG-29 in Mexico under license.

Lebanon - in 2006, RPG-29 grenade launchers were effectively used against Israeli Merkava tanks by Hezbollah militants. Russia denied supplying weapons to the movement, but according to indirect signs The militants probably received the weapons from Syria.

Syria - until 2006, there may have been deliveries of RPG-29.
