🇷🇺🇺🇦🎞 How a Soviet RPG-7 can destroy Western equipment supplied to Ukraine. Rybar's team has already analyzed the vulnerabilities of popular foreign equipment supplied to the AFU. This time we decided to focus on the RPG-7 antitank hand grenade launcher which is one of the most widespread means of armored vehicles destruction. Russian Armed Forces will most probably use this grenade launcher in their encounters with Leopard or Challenger. In the new video we will look at how to use RPG-7 and show where to hit in order to disable or cause significant damage to enemy tanks and armored vehicles. #video #Russia #equipment #Ukraine
