The RPG-7 is undoubtedly one of the most famous weapons because of its great presence in the various armed conflicts, some of which are still relevant. It is a weapon that was used from the 1960s but whose development can begin during the Second World War.
German Panzerfaust recoilless grenade launchers will inspire Soviet engineers to design a reusable anti-tank weapon. In 1944, the first RPG was adopted but it was quickly replaced because of its short range and the perfectible efficiency of its PG-1 projectile.
In 1948, we adopted the RPG-2 much closer to our RPG-7. This RPG-2 will be used by the USSR and also by China, Vietnam and North Korea.
Then in the 1950s, the USSR sought to modernize the RPG-2 to increase its range and accuracy. Two projects will be carried out in parallel as is often the case in armaments. On one side we will have the RPG-4 and on the other the RPG-7. Finally it will be the weapon of the engineer Firulin with his RPG-7 which will be adopted in 1961 with his hollow charge projectile PG-7.
Although the RPG-7 cannot compete with modern rocket launchers with guided projectiles, it is still an extremely effective weapon. It is a simple and easy to use weapon and thanks to its variety of ammunition, it can be used in many conditions.
Its low cost and ease of maintenance are part of the reason why these guns are still widely used. And it is to bet that these RPGs will continue to be used for many years.
