PA doesn't use RPG-7 in AT role. In same category is Alcotan 100 used by PA. There is a RR called SPG-9 used in mountains. These are Fire Support weapons.

For Ant-Tank warfare, the ATGM's are TOW (I and II) and HJ-8/Baktar Shikan.

RPGs are used by Infantry to tackle armor as it's easy to carry and it's good fire power for direct fire.

That's what I tried telling him. The HJ-8 and the TOW are overkill for lighter vehicles which the RPG-32 can easily take out like BMP-2, T-72(Maybe), and most if not all light armored vehicles. Although the range is short this could be good for urban ambushes and they can take out T-90s if hit in the rear.

"The RPG-32 is an easy to use weapon. With a little training one man in every squad could carry one of these rocket launchers, giving each squad significant anti-armor and anti-structure capability. The RPG-32 is carried by two soldiers: an operator and his assistant huffing extra rockets. Two rockets can be clamped together for easier transportation. It takes 10 seconds for the operator to prepare the RPG-32 for firing. Maximum rate of fire is up to 3 to 4 launches per minute."

This anti-tank rocket is capable of disabling the latest and most protected Western main battle tanks, such as American M1A2 Abrams, British Challenger 2 and German Leopard 2A7. It penetrates frontal armor of Russian T-90 and T-80U, as well as Chinese Type 99 and Type 96 main battle tanks. This rocket is also useful against all other armored vehicles, as well as bunkers, buildings and various field fortifications. It penetrates at least 1.5 m of reinforced concrete, at least 2 m of brickwork, and at least 3.7 m of earth.
