The Ukrainian Armed Forces will soon be equipped with up to 2,650 RGW90 anti-tank handguns from German manufacturer Dynamit Nobel Defense (DND), according to a press release today. The manufacturer confirmed the reliability of the message to Europäische Sicherheit & Technik. Accordingly, the Ukrainian state bought the systems directly from DND and had them delivered to Ukraine. A corresponding export application was submitted by the manufacturer on March 18th. According to Die Welt, approval was granted by the relevant Ministry of Economics last weekend. According to the report, the weapon systems have already left the manufacturer's warehouse for Ukraine. In the version currently available on the market, the RGW90 HH (HEAT/HESH) A2 uses a mono hollow charge explosive head and can therefore also be used against armored vehicles. The weapon, weighing around eight kilograms, can penetrate more than 600 millimeters of armor steel at a combat distance of 500 meters - with a hit probability of more than 90 percent on a 2.3 meter x 2.3 meter NATO standard target.
