1.Yeah,its licensed version manufactured locally,like dragunov.

You claimed indigenous..thts why i asked..

3.Carl gustavs are excellent for bunker busting due to range and accuracy.It has twice or more the effective range of rpg-7s and FAR more accurate hit probability and double muzzle velocity.Anti tank penetration wise latest rpg warhead has 600 mm after ERA,latest gustav 500 mm after ERA.none will penetrate frontal armour,both may penetrate rear armour/tracks.But for heavy duty AT we have shipons as well which have 3 times effective anti tank range of rpg,twice accuracy and 800 mm penetration after ERA and can be used by one man crew.
As for weight issue,the OFB RCL MK3 version developed by DRDO is significantly lighter due to use of advanced composites.Its among the lightest carl gustav variant around just under 10kgs[with bipod and telescopic sight] unlike standrad carl gustav weighing 14-21kg.
As for 2 man crew that is a advantage for rpg-7 over gustav.

Dude 10-12 kg is hell alot of weight.. and 2 man crew for an unguided ATM is not advantageous in war or during a high intensity conflict...

I see IA also bought a number of C-90-CR-RB spanish LAW weapons for dedicated bunker busting,which have 480 mm after ERA pentration,good accuracy,with very light weight 5 kg And can smash 1200mm of concrete.This weapon was used in a cross border incident in 2000 against pakistani bunkers in sialkot sector.

Yaar except a post by a member on PDF i couldnt find anything solid on it... although u can post a source for it..

But man,RPG-7 also weighs around 7.5 kgs.Newest gustav weighs around 9.5-10kg.Not that massive difference.Though 2 man is big difference i admit.But again for 1 man AT duty shipon is there.
Ya there's nothing on the net,only that in the list of C-90-CR-RB[M3] version users india is listed.Prasun sengupta in his blog also said india acquired this system.I'm guessing this was for 1 man,light[5kg] bunker busting[1200 mm concrete].Exactly the lightness and crew issue u were talking about.

Sir jee the newest CG RR used by NATO is 10-12 KG...any im saying tht rpg can be carried easily n by more soldiers compared to CG RR...carried at section level? as for SHIPON how many are in service?as for RPG is weighs around 6.3 kg when ready to fire..

Shipon is used at company level.that would be quite a lot given size of IA.
Also carl gustav has 2-3 times range of rpg-7 and double accuracy and hit probability.Thats trade off for crew.

But only these are in use?

 

[AUSTERLITZ]

But only these are in use?

My question exactly.Also what is difference between them,in weight,protection except shape?

 

[kbd-raaf]

But only these are in use?

I wouldn't put money on that, there's quite a bit of inconsistency in the IA for equipment levels.

So far ive only seen these types in used with indian forces...
