Infantry WeaponsRPG-30Disposable anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade launcherThe RPG-30 Kryuk is a Russian disposable shoulder-fired anti-tank launcher built around a dual-tube concept: a small precursor projectile is fired ahead of the 105 mm tandem HEAT round to complicate active protection systems before the main warhead arrives. In Ukraine it has appeared primarily as a Russian infantry anti-armor weapon, with captured examples also documented in Ukrainian hands.

Infantry Weapons9M133 KornetLaser beam-riding anti-tank guided missile systemThe 9M133 Kornet is a Russian heavy anti-tank guided missile system using laser beam-riding guidance and tandem HEAT or thermobaric warheads. Developed by KBP as a portable and vehicle-integrated ATGM family, it appears in recent conflicts as a Russian-origin anti-armor weapon documented with state forces and non-state armed groups, including captured examples in Ukrainian service.

Infantry WeaponsAl-Yasin 105 tandem-charge anti-armor projectileShoulder-fired tandem-charge anti-armor projectileThe Al-Yasin 105 is a Hamas-made 105 mm tandem-charge anti-armor projectile associated with the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. AP coverage of the Israel-Hamas War described it as a Gaza-made copy of the Russian PG-7VR and showed Hamas fighters aiming the round at Israeli tanks and armored vehicles in Beit Hanoun.

Infantry WeaponsBulgarian-manufactured RPG projectileRocket-propelled grenade projectileThis entry covers Bulgarian-made RPG-7-compatible anti-tank projectiles, including Arsenal's RHEAT-7MA6 family, which AP identified in Hamas-held material during the Israel-Hamas War. The conflict reporting named Bulgarian marks but not a precise Gaza variant, so the catalog keeps the record at a conservative family level.

Infantry WeaponsMagnetic or sticky anti-vehicle bombImprovised explosive deviceMagnetic or sticky anti-vehicle bombs are improvised explosive devices that are manually attached to armored vehicles so the blast lands at close range. In the Israel-Hamas War, reporting from Khan Younis described Hamas using a sticky bomb against an Israeli tank, showing how the device fits urban anti-armor ambushes in Gaza.

Infantry WeaponsMATADORDisposable shoulder-fired anti-armor recoilless weaponMATADOR, exported as RGW 90, is a 90 mm disposable recoilless launcher co-developed by German, Singaporean, and Israeli industry for short-range anti-armor and anti-structure work. Its confined-space firing and dual-purpose warhead made it useful in urban breaching and close-range strikes, with Germany-funded RGW 90 deliveries to Ukraine and Israeli use in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas War.
