RPO-A Shmel, Disposable shoulder-fired thermobaric rocket launcher, Infantry WeaponsRussia-Ukraine WarRPO-A ShmelDisposable shoulder-fired thermobaric rocket launcherBuilt in: RussiaThe RPO-A Shmel is a Soviet-designed, Russian-produced disposable infantry rocket launcher built around a 93 mm thermobaric round for attacking troops, firing points, light vehicles, and fortified positions at short range. Although Russian doctrine classifies it as a rocket-assisted flamethrower, its battlefield effect comes from a fuel-air explosive warhead rather than a projected liquid flame, making it relevant to documented Russian close-assault firepower in the Russia-Ukraine War.
9K115 Metis, Man-portable anti-tank guided missile system, Infantry WeaponsRussia-Ukraine War9K115 MetisMan-portable anti-tank guided missile systemBuilt in: Soviet Union / RussiaThe 9K115 Metis is a Soviet/Russian man-portable, wire-guided anti-tank guided missile family developed for company-level infantry anti-armor fire. The original AT-7 Saxhorn system emphasized a light launcher and short-range portability, while the later 9K115-2 Metis-M and Metis-M1 variants use larger 130 mm missiles, tandem HEAT or thermobaric warheads, and ranges up to 2 km. In the Russia-Ukraine War, Russian forces have been documented using the upgraded AT-13 Saxhorn-2 / Metis-M variant against Ukrainian armor.
9M113 Konkurs, SACLOS wire-guided anti-tank guided missile, Infantry WeaponsRussia-Ukraine War9M113 KonkursSACLOS wire-guided anti-tank guided missileBuilt in: Soviet Union / RussiaThe 9M113 Konkurs, NATO reporting name AT-5 Spandrel, is a Soviet wire-guided anti-tank guided missile family built for infantry launchers and vehicle mounts such as BMP-series vehicles and the BRDM-2-based 9P148. Its SACLOS guidance, 135 mm missile body, and 4 km class engagement range kept it useful after the Cold War, including documented employment in the Russia-Ukraine War by Ukrainian-aligned forces and Russian units.
