American Volunteer Knocks Out Russian BTR With RGW90 Launcher
Published 2 years ago
Helmet cam footage shows an American foreign volunteer hitting a Russian BTR-80 armored personnel carrier with a German RGW-90 HH rocket propelled grenade type launcher. A second angle of the incident is recorded by a drone and shows the Russian vehicle come to a halt inside the woodline while its stored ammo begins cooking off.
While no massive secondary blast ensues like often seen with Russia's poorly designed tanks. The RGW-90 Heat/Hesh round is designed to easily penetrate over 23 inches of steel armor and would have had no problem punching through the light armored APC.
Interestingly, another volunteer appears to have a misfire with a Czech RPG-75M launcher seconds before the RGW-90 is fired.
