Isn't the 2nd pic an RPG-29? Any of you guys have any idea about its capabilities? I heard Hezbollah used RPG-29s against the Israelis in 2006 with significant success. Couldn't it be pretty destructive against Azeri T-72 echelons in mountainous terrains?

I think the RPG29 is longer than that. In terms of capabilities, it could destroy any Azeri T-72 tank especially if hit from the rear. Check this post for example of what an RPG29 did to a Syrian T-72 tank http://forum.hyeclub.com/showthread....ria#post340348

The Shmel-M is an excellent weapon. I think it would be especially effective in a terrain like Artsakh's

The RPG-29 is also used by Armenia, and the RPG-29 is indeed very effective. It was able to work very well against even heavily armored tanks like the Merkava MK4 in Lebanon back in 2006.

TSKIB SOO (the link in Burjuin's post) is a subsidiary fully owned by the large and famous weapons manufacturer KBP which also makes the KORNET anti-tank missile, PANTSIR Air-defense system etc..

The SHMEL (RPO-A) is not a regular weapon issued to any infantry unit. It is used by our Chemical troops. It requires special handling and training. The one in the picture is the training version PUS RPO-A(M).
