The RPG-28 Klyukva ("Cranberry") is a Russian handheld anti-tank rocket launcher.
History
The RPG-28 was unveiled in 2007 at IDEX Abu Dhabi by the State Research and Production Enterprise, Bazalt as a modern anti-tank rocket launcher designed to defeat modern and future tanks with advanced reactive and composite armour as well as fortified infantry.[1]
It was offered for export in 2008.[2] Officially adopted by the Russian Government in December 2011.[3]
Description
The RPG-28 shares a close resemblance with the RPG-27 in that it is a portable, disposable anti-tank rocket launcher with a single shot capacity.
The RPG-28 has a larger diameter round than the RPG-27 which enables the RPG-28 to achieve higher armour penetration performance.
The RPG-28 round is a 125 mm tandem shaped charge with a weight of 8.5 kg and a range of 300 meters.
The round has a stated penetration capability in excess of 1000 mm RHA (after ERA) and 3000 mm of brick.[4] Loaded weight is 13.5 kg.[5]
