Hossam
Notes: This is the standard Egyptian antitank grenade, used in place of the RKG-3M by Egyptian forces, and alongside the RKG-3M in Lebanon and Syria. As with other antitank grenades, it employs a shaped charge stabilized by a small parachute to ensure it hits at the right angle. The Hossam is also very useful for penetrating fortifications.
