RPO-A ShmelDisposable shoulder-fired thermobaric rocket launcherBuilt: KBP Instrument Design Bureau / 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.Conflict side archive
