The RPG-18 Mukha ("Fly") is a Russian short-range, disposable light anti-tank rocket launcher. It is very similar to the US M72-series LAW anti-tank rocket and was developed after the Soviet military obtained M72s from its allies in Viet Nam. The RPG-18 has been succeeded by the RPG-22, a very similar design with a larger warhead.
The RPG-18 fires a 64 mm PG-18 HEAT warhead mounted on a small rocket capable of engaging any target within 200 meters. The warhead self-destructs 6 seconds after launch placing definite limits on range even if a sight was used that was effective with targets beyond 200 meters. The PG-18 itself can penetrate up to 375 mm of conventional armor. However, performance is significantly diminished when the RPG-18 is employed against targets protected by HEAT resistant ERA or composite armor.
Unlike better known weapons, the RPG-18 requires only one operator because it is not reloadable. Assistant grenadiers are used to help reload the RPG-2, RPG-7 and RPG-16 systems.
