The weapon includes iron sights with available targeting ranges of 50, 100, and 500m. Of course, the launcher features a MIL-STD-1913 rail so it can take more sights.

The rocket of the launcher is the Mk. 188 Mod 0HEDP, and it is being said that it can penetrate: 200mm concrete, 300mm brick, and 2,100mm sandbags.

The launcher has a pretty interesting feature: its rocket explodes in impact with the target or after it penetrates a light target. The time of the detonation doesn't set by the soldier, but by the fuze itself!

The weapons, which the US Army delivered in unknown numbers to Ukraine some days before, were also capable of destroying light armored vehicles.
