122mm Free Rocket

Notes: These rockets, still in their shipping containers, are simply propped against some handy object and fired by a fuse or electrical ignition. Often, the rockets are placed in position and fired by a time fuse to prevent effective counterbattery fire. Maximum accuracy for these rounds is 4 (aiming is largely guesswork), and deviation distances are doubled, and no corrections are allowed. Aiming these rockets for direct-fire work is impossible. These rockets are also fired by MRLs such as the BM-14.

B-10

Notes: The B-10 is a recoilless rifle that has been largely replaced in Russian service by antitank missiles and the SPG-9 recoilless rifle. The B-10 is normally aimed using a simple sight, though several optical sights may be mounted. The B-10 has largely been replaced in Russian units by ATGMs and lighter rocket launchers, though Airborne units still use it mounted on light vehicles. It is also in widespread use by former Soviet client states.

Notes: This bulky and difficult-to-handle weapon has largely been replaced in Russian service by antitank missiles. It can still be found in category 2 and 3 units. The B-11 is also used by Airborne units as a light field gun and bunker buster. It is equipped with a simple iron sight, but may mount other type of sighting equipment.

RPG-2

Notes: This is the forerunner of the RPG-7, and rivals that weapon as the most widely used rocket launcher in the world. It is now found only in Third World nations and in China, though it is found in those countries in droves. The warhead, though large, is an old design and very inefficient.

Notes: The RPG-7 is a progressive development of the RPG-2 and a forerunner of the RPG-16. It fires a larger, but less powerful warhead. The sheer flexibility and variety of warheads have meant that the RPG-7 has been retained in service despite the introduction of several newer rocket launchers, even in Russian service. It can be found almost anywhere else and is possibly the most popular rocket launcher ever produced.

RPG-16 Udar

Notes: This weapon was for long time thought to be out of production (dropped in favor of the RPG-7 and improved warheads), but after the fall of the Iron Curtain it was revealed to still be in use by certain Russian troops as well as being sold to some former Warsaw Pact countries and certain "unnamed parties." It generally resembles the RPG-7 in appearance, but the warheads are more efficient. In addition, the RPG-16 has an integral passive IR sight and a folding bipod.

Notes: A light antiarmor weapon issued to Russian airborne and heliborne units. The RPG-18 is an almost direct copy of the US M-72A2, down to the instruction decal on the launcher tube. A detail which was overlooked is a disarming button; once the RPG-18 is extended and armed, it cannot be collapsed and disarmed (except with a FOR: Gunsmith or Combat Engineer roll).

Notes: This is rocket launcher designed to fire incendiary projectiles.

Notes: The SPG-9 is similar to the 73mm smoothbore gun used on the BMP-1 and BMD-1. The ammunition is identical to that used in the 73mm gun of the BMP-1 and BMD-1 except for the propelling charge. The SPG-9 is common among Bloc airborne forces and is also found among many Third World nations.

TEMP-10

Notes: The TEMP-10 is a highly-modified RPG-7, with an enlarged launch tube, advanced sights that incorporate a sighting telescope and limited night vision capabilities (as an image intensifier, but only 75% normal range), and only one type of round: the first EFP (Explosively-Formed Projectile) light antitank weapon round. This round may be set for impact, delayed, or proximity detonation, and can be used for antivehicle, antipersonnel, antibunker, or antihelicopter use. It is a very fast round; after its soft launch, it quickly (within 0.2 seconds) accelerates to 14,000 meters per phase (2,800 meters per second). As of 2003, this was just getting into production, though the Russians had found few buyers.

Twilight 2000 Notes: This experimental rocket launcher was issued in limited quantities to Russian forces during the Twilight War, particularly to Airborne, Air Assault, and special operations forces.

Merc 2000 Notes: Budget cuts stopped the development of the TEMP-10.
