Sometimes it is highly effective Russian weapons that make the decisive difference when contacting the enemy, said military expert Yuri Knutov, commenting on the actions of Russian assault groups, which, among other things, use grenade launchers or flamethrowers such as the RPO-A Shmel-M and MRO-A Borodach “
“Our attack aircraft, who liberated both Artemovsk and the same Mariupol, when a rather difficult situation arises, the use of this kind of grenades, especially in urban conditions, thermobaric ammunition, allows us to change the course of the battle. Moreover, after their use, the enemy experiences a psychological breakdown,” Knutov quotes Channel 5.
However, grenade launchers are effective not only during the offensive. As Knutov notes, in defense, these types of weapons have also proven themselves to be the best.
“Very often we see when our military, acting on the line of contact with the enemy, even when the enemy is on the offensive, use this kind of weapon to stop the enemy or reverse it,” said Yuri Knutov.
The RPO-A Shmel-M weapon is a thermobaric ammunition that can incapacitate personnel located in a room of 60 to 80 cubic meters.
“It is especially effective when firing at closed spaces, when an aerosol is sprayed there, this aerosol, when combined with air, detonates, and a thermobaric explosion occurs, which practically destroys everything that is inside,” the expert explained.
At the same time, the effectiveness of using “Bumblebee” was proven back in Soviet times, Knutov added. One of the advantages of the weapon is its ease of use. And it itself consists of a container and a grenade, most often a thermobaric one, although high-explosive fragmentation ones are also used.
As for the Bumblebee’s range of destruction, depending on the scope, it is 600 or 800 meters. As the specialist notes, this allows you to hit targets at a distance that is safe for the shooter.
The Borodach jet flamethrower, according to Knutov, is in service primarily with radiation, chemical and biological defense troops. The weapon is lighter than the same “Bumblebee”, and its system allows the use of various sights.
“There are different types of grenades: there are incendiary, thermobaric, and smoke. This, in general, allows the use of such weapons against enemy strongholds, and even against armored vehicles,” said the military expert.
The range of destruction of the “Bearded Man” is less than that of the “Bumblebee” – 300-450 meters.
According to Yuri Knutov, “Bumblebee” and “Borodach” today are the most effective weapons in service with our infantry, especially attack aircraft. A number of countries have grenade launchers of this kind, but it is the Russian ones that have the greatest power and efficiency.
