BMP attacked with a munition type I haven't seen. This is a rocket assisted flamethrower.
RPO-A Shmel

These types of weapons replaced the old backpack flamethrower.

Its interesting because the US version of this (the M202A1 Flash) hasn't seen the light of day in many years. Its nominally a current service weapon with the Marines and Army. But despite rumors of it being used in Afghanistan, no video has ever surfaced of them. Officially they are all stored. Bu unofficially, I think leadership grew a bit squeamish of them.

Its infamous for being portrayed in Commando movie by Arnold.

I had some exposure to those in my military days. Essentially it’s a napalm filled rocket x4. We called them the 202 Flash as noted above.

Yep fired the M202 a few times. Impressive weapon.

I should have gone into weapons design. That totally seems like something I would have invented as a kid! (I was a bit of a pyromaniac as a kid.)

M1928A1 Thompson spotted....
THE Chicago Typewriter! Not even the simplified M1, this is the original that takes the big ole drums.

One wonders where the 45 comes from?

 

[Brad69]

I got nothing how is that thing in the pile of stuff?

It looks new?
How would they get .45?

I did glimpse one in Iraq but it was junk.

Raise your hand if you would trade a Van Seat to be able to carry a M1910/30 Maxin...

Ride into battle.. in an ex Airport shuttle.. what can i say. Improvise, Adapt, Overcome..

Real good video of a Javelin fired in anger in Ukraine.

Shows quite well the attack profile on the missile.

New stuff for some of the Ukraine side.
