The Chinese developed the type 69 rocket propelled grenade in the 60's. It's basically a Chinese copy of the Russian RPG-7. I believe it's still in service with the PLA
hmmm, i saw a PLA firing an AT-4 looking AT weapon. Any info on that ?

go to migleaders post and click on the first link, there will be 4 selection for RPG and type 89 will be the one.

about that Isreal system, that is one scary beast man, fire and forget ready to launch within 30 seconds and great distance. That is one scary beast.


Just wonderig, what kind of role do dump fire AT rockets have???? is is usually for urban encounters with light armours and tanks??

I am not very sure on the type 89/B.
It is compact, but that's the only good thing I see about it.
(Then again, size is a big size in the army, eh.)
It's cheap, not adaptable, short range. (I like the SHIPON with its 800mm attack and 600m range, but it fires only two kinds of rounds.)
But now I will stick to the RPG-7.

A system like the SPIKE is very nice for the ground troops.
But the cloest thing to it that China has is the HJ-73B. (Is the HJ-73C available for the infantry?)
