Скачать или смотреть The impact of Panzerfaust 3 in Ukraine against the Russian Invaders

The Panzerfaust 3 is a man-portable anti-tank weapon that was first used by the Bundeswehr in 1987. It is the modern-day successor to the famous Panzerfaust of World War II. It was initially intended to combat the Soviet T-72 and T-80 main battle tanks. At the time of its introduction it was one of the highest-performance weapons of its class. Improved variants of the Panzerfaust 3 are among the world's most powerful anti-tank rocket launchers. The Panzerfaust 3 is known for its compact, lightweight design, which allows it to be fired by a single infantryman. Its ergonomics follow a pre-defined standard, and the controls, including its pistol grip, were designed to be easily handled from all positions.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine marks a turning point. Both Germany and Netherlands have agreed sending the Panzerfaust 3 to Ukraine. The Dutch government are supplying 50 Panzerfaust-3 anti-tank weapons. The latest variants of the panzerfaust3 have just a range of just 800 metres. In comparison, the Russian T-90 TANK's main gun, the 125mm 2A46, has a range of more than 3,000 metres. As with other anti-tank weapons, the person firing it must remain hidden until attackers are within range, and must be able to move rapidly after shooting.
But the Panzerfaust 3 is still a formidable threat to armour, with recent variants containing a double explosive charge, one to detonate explosive reactive armour defences that are common on many Russian tanks, while the second charge penetrates the armour. Many pictures and videos have been circulated in social media that the Panzerfaust 3 has hit some Russian tanks, implying that it plays a significant role for the Ukrainians against the Russian invaders.
