IDF023 “Egyptian/Syrian Soldier RPG7 Team”

The RPG-7 is a man-portable, reusable, shoulder-launched, anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Its ruggedness, simplicity, low cost and effectiveness made it a perfect weapon for Third World militaries and insurgents.

In use since the early 1960’s it was widely deployed during the SIX-DAY WAR by the Arab armies... with mixed results.

Usually operated by a 2-man team with one soldier carrying and operating the launcher itself while the other carries extra rockets and a rifle.
