Έπρεπε να σας είχαμε προειδοποιήσει ότι οι τέσσερις από τους πέντε εκτοξευτές της λίστας θα αποτελούν ρωσικής παραγωγής. Ο συγκεκριμένος σχεδιάστηκε την δεκαετία του 2000, αφού οι Ρώσοι δεν έμειναν ικανοποιημένοι με την απόδοση του RPG-27 και σχεδίασαν κάτι ισχυρότερο. Το όπλο ξεκίνησε να υπηρετεί στον στρατό της χώρας το 2011. Μέχρι και σήμερα αποτελεί τον ισχυρότερο εκτοξευτή αντιαρματικών ρουκετών του κόσμου.
