The RPG-26 Aglen is a disposable anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher developed by the Soviet Union.
Design
The RPG-26 fires a one-stage rocket with jack-knife fins, which unfold after launch.
The rocket carries a Template:Convert diameter high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) single shaped charge warhead able to penetrate Template:Convert of armour, Template:Convert of reinforced concrete or Template:Convert of brickwork.
The RPG-26 has a maximum effective range of around Template:Convert. Despite being similar in caliber to the RPG-22, the rocket features a slightly heavier and more powerful HEAT warhead, as well as a more powerful rocket engine.
Variants
RShG-2
The RShG-2 (Template:Langx) is a RPG-26 variant with thermobaric warhead.
It is also called the Aglen-2 (Template:Langx).
The RShG-2 is heavier than the RPG-26 at Template:Convert and has a reduced direct fire range of Template:Convert, intended for use against infantry and structures rather than armoured vehicles.
The warhead contains Template:Convert of thermobaric mixture, with an explosive yield roughly equal to that of Template:Convert of trinitrotoluene (TNT).
The solid rocket booster of the warhead was taken from the RPG-26 and the fuse taken from the TBG-7 warhead used by the RPG-7. The warhead has a stated penetration ability of Template:Convert of concrete and Template:Convert of brickwork.
