From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The RPG-43 (Ruchnaya Protivotankovaya Granata) was a HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) hand grenade used by the Soviet Union during the Second World War.
It entered service in 1943, replacing the earlier model RPG-40. The RPG-43 used a shaped charge HEAT warhead, whereas the RPG-40 used the simpler HE (High Explosive) warhead.
