From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The RPG-27 is a man-portable disposable anti-tank rocket launcher developed by the Soviet Union from the RPG-26.

There are currently two versions of the RPG-27 available, each of similar construction, but containing a different warhead.

• RPG-27 contains a tandem-stage HEAT warhead for penetrating modern heavily armored vehicles.
• RShG-1 contains a thermobaric warhead for anti-personnel and urban warfare use.
