Hello all just poping in to say hi ! Ive been away in good ol' afghanistan for the while seeing what the taliban has had for a space program. They have mastered RPGS next stop is verticle flight! HOPE ALL IS GOOD
THANKS ALL
here is a question to think about, What is the launch velocity of a RUSSIAN made RPG andd what would its max verticle altitude be?....escape velocity anyone?
What is the launch velocity of a RUSSIAN made RPG...
For RPG-7, it should be like 120 m/s allowing it to lift up to about 2200 m if shot straight upwards.
The RPG-7 then reaches a speed of 294 meters per second when the rocket motor fires.
What do you mean 'then'? It fires when the missile is still in the launch tube. 'course, the Wikipedia may be wrong about the top speed... But my track length assumption was for vacuum anyway - should be quite off the real value.
What fires in the launch tube is the eject charge, like in any modern RPG.
Okay, I really don't know. Luckily for me, I never had a chance to study it really thorough.
