>like the tandem PG-7VR that they like to claim can kill MBTs frontally (it can't)
I dunno, you probably could kill a T-72B with kontakt 1 from the front. 750mm Penetration no ERA and 600mm after ERA is pretty good if you want to kill T-72's. The newer claim of 750mm after ERA and 900mm+ with no ERA penetration seems wildly optimistic (Could be true that it is the maximum recorded penetration dept from X rounds fired into a test target while the older penetration figure is the guaranteed minimum penetration depth it will always achieve)
Big boxy western MBT's however can take it like a champ.
IIRC (I dont have the source sadly) when the germans were marketing the panzerfaust 3 in the 90's they had two different tandem warheads developed. One was markated to be able to defeat an ERA equiped T-72 and the other was for an ERA equiped T-80
The one for the T-72 had something like 700mm after ERA while the one for the T-80 had 800mm after era. The T-72 target most likely represents a T-72B turret and the T-80 target represents a T-80U turret (or the more common T-80UD)
So when the russians claim they have a tandem warhead for the RPG that cant defeat MBT's they are infact correct. They can kill their own MBT (T-72B and T-90A) which is what they are currently fighting in large numbers, A large number of legacy soviet MBT's from their own old soviet stockpile or the warsaw pact donated by angry former members.
