Rocket-propelled grenade

From Wiki 24

A rocket-propelled grenade, or RPG, is a hand-held, shoulder-launched antitank weapon capable of firing an unguided rocket containing an explosive warhead.

[edit] Day 4

Terrorists loyal to Habib Marwan used an RPG to attack the motorcade for James Heller and Audrey Raines so that they could kidnap them. An RPG was also used to rescue Marwan from CTU several hours later.

[edit] Background information and notes

• Most modern main battle tanks (MBTs) are largely immune to unguided anti-tank weapons, due to advances in armor design, requiring more precise aiming to hit weak spots. However, RPGs are still used very effectively against light-skinned vehicles such as APCs or unarmored wheeled vehicles, as well as against buildings and bunkers. They can still be a threat to an MBT under certain tactical conditions.
