hm, nešto čudno se dešava na sajtu (ili sam se ja odvikao od navigacije nakon kraćeg odmora). U svakom slučaju, izvinjavam se na višestruko ponovljenim odgovorima.

Ja se opet moram izvinuti za svoj nepotpuni prijedlog kojem fali launcher, tako da bi potpuni prijevod traženog termina bio RPG LAUNCHER. Nato, strane novinarske kuće, EU, i mnogi drugi, baremkoliko ja znam iz svog iskustva koriste ovaj termin (na bilo kojoj tražilici ćete se uvjeriti u vjerodstojnost naprijed rečenog) inače koristi taj termin. Sad je do vas da odaberete šta vam više odgovara.

Imate ovdje i link za jedan glosar (u .pdf formatu, ali nije velik), koji će vam opet potvrditi gore navedeno.

WASHINGTON — The 41-year-old Russian rocket-propelled grenade — the RPG — was built as an anti-tank weapon, but it\'s been playing havoc with American helicopters.

Anti-American forces used RPGs to bring down two MH-47 Chinook helicopters fighting in the Shah-e-Kot area of Afghanistan on Monday. Seven U.S. soldiers were killed in the attacks and ensuing firefights. Several AH-64 Apache gunships were also hit by RPGs, but none crashed.

How Rocket-Propelled Grenades Work
You may have heard the term rocket-propelled grenade, and you\'ve probably seen news images of their use and the destruction they can cause, particularly if you\'ve kept up with current world events in the Middle East. Rocket-propelled grenades are a commonly used explosive projectile weapon, used by many armies across the world. They play a major part in contemporary warfare, and are also highly used among insurgent and terrorist groups.

But why? Why are rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) so prevalent? Where did they come from and just how do they work? It\'s obvious they\'re more than just a normal grenade simply because they\'re rocket propelled, but just what does that mean? In this article, we\'ll investigate the origins of rocket-propelled grenades, how they\'re used and what makes them so common in military conflicts all over the world.

Russian-made RPG-7V1 Rocket-Propelled Grenade Launcher

Like most Russian made weapons, the RPG-7V1 rocket launcher is cheap, reliable, and effective. It is a portable, shoulder fired anti tank weapon. Based upon the earlier RPG-7, the V1 variant is a highly improved version, firing a more effective selection of grenades. The first type is a single stage high-explosive warhead capable of penetrating 600mm of steel armor, as opposed to the original RPG-7 which was only capable of penetrating 300mm. The second warhead is a tandem high explosive grenade capable of penetrating reactive armor.
