RKG 3 Anti-tank Grenade

- A video where I attempt to show how the variant of the grenade works. The Variants all basically work the same way, but some of the parts are more complex on the earlier models, and the newer models have better armor penetration. Lots of videos out there showing it in action. They are also being modified in the Ukraine to act as drone dropped munitions called the RKG-1600.

Got hit by one of these in Iraq on my second tour in 09. My best fried and his driver were killed by one in Iraq in 2011. The one thrown at me didn’t have the chute. They take it off so it gets to the target faster but it’s so top heavy that it’s unstable in flight, hence why I’m alive today to tell you about it. 2 /13/09 is my second birthday, it’s the day I was given a second chance at life.

That is insane. I've seen the videos of them hitting the hmmvws and it is crazy the speed that everything happens in. I dont envy having to deal with that situation. They are interesting to look at when you are not on the receiving end of them, not as cool if you are. Sorry for your loss.
Thanks for your service Sir! High respect and High Badassness from Mexico.

@@lnaru what the fuck is wrong with you
Rip
Simple but ingenious! Thanks for the great vid :)
Glad you enjoyed it.
Where did you get the grenade and all your other stuff
Different collectors and places selling it. Unfortunately not stuff you find overnight.
@@Stray03 any suggestions?
@voiddreams1074 lol no. It is really a fall into it when you see it and don't delay, because someone else will buy it and next time you see it, it will be 2x the price
Thanks GOD
exactly the detail I'm looking for, I will translate the subtitles at home in the evening
Hope it is what you expected once translated.
@@Stray03 I definitely hope that
Always a joy to see and understand devices like this a little more in depth.
Now to come up with a DIY replacement.
Try not to anger your local 3 or 4 letter agency. Lol
@@Stray03 I'll try my best. I've not got any explosive materials as of now, so I should be fine.
Really cool video on a unique piece, as usual
That's quite a simple, yet effective weapon. The 600 g charge of TNT/RDX is rated to defeat 6 inch of armour. You say it's still seeing service? I can see why
The Ukrainians are turning them into drone dropped munitions. They were also being used in Iraq against US vehicles.
Great video again man and once again I am shocked at your ability to acquire these things.
Do you think when the warhead is being used as a drone dropped device they are just using a simple 3d printed inertial detonator?
I'm thinking they maybe using something completely home made because I'm seeing alot of them fail. Now is it because they are not designed to move that quickly being dropped from those heights or because they are making their own fuzes is going to have to be mentioned by the people modifying them. There are 2 main versions of them that I see and neither of them are how I would design it. Then again they also modify the tank machineguns differently than I would so maybe they know something I dont.
in Ukraine its rkg2000 which is different and has plastic stabilizer
Interesting that they change the model with different mods. I have seen 3 types used in the Ukraine. One had a drogue, and 2 with diff plastic tails
Did you ever make that video of setting a bouncing Betty?
I did the setting of the fuze. I never did a burying one though. I guess I can this summer if I remember.
I stood in the rear hatch of a Stryker. Had saw mounted and a 12 Guage specially to attempt to combat these. These babies and EFP IEDs is what I feared the most.. RPGs suck but I didn't really fear them... though they shoot shape charges, the concussion is pretty big for the charge size. Even if you didn't get hit with the jet stream it's bad
That is crazy. From the footage I have seen they definitely make one hell of a mess when they hit their mark. Throwing distance really makes for a short period of time to deal with them before they hit.
@Stray03 That is why we started using shotguns. By the time you notice the threat, you'd be lucky to get a shot off..Alot of times it's hard to tell what the person is about to throw.. I would've felt horrible had I shot a young kid just throwing rocks at us or water bottles. Driving by quickly though it's the same motion for both.
Yeah must be a pain in the ass to deal with that kind of fighting. Can't tell if it is a combatant or non-combatant until last possible moment.

In the training mock-up you are missing the detonator primer, the intermediate charge and the shaped charge lens
Yeah it is the "booster" I mentioned. The lens is because it has the spacer in it to allow the main charge to be detonated in the proper orientation to make the shaped charge as efficient as possible. I did see a video where the person actually had the mock up of the thing including the initiator. Unfortunately I will have to 3d print one probably.
@@Stray03 I have the same instructional layout in full condition
Nice. Unfortunately mine had been manhandled by someone where they crammed the drogue springs backwards. Took a bit of effort to fix that and now I will have to make the left over bits. I was actually surprised mine was so complete. The people selling it couldn't give me a proper answer and I assumed most of the parts were missing.
@@Stray03 I still have the wrapping paper on the ring.
@@Stray03 I also collect models of hand grenades, tank mines, anti-personnel mines
I'd love to see a vid on your collection. The range you have seems to be pretty wide
I collect things I like, or want to learn about. That is why it seems broad. Basically more about the technology involved for me than the historical use so I dont get locked down to one specific period.
Hey buddy please make a video on M67 fragmentation grenade
I could make it on a dummy one, but the body won't be real. The fuze is the important part I guess.
Hi! Where did you get that practice grenade? I'm trying to get some for educational purposes but can't find any. Take care.
Surplus company had it as a one off. Right time right place I guess.
How do the RKG3s work which are strapped to FPV drones which explodes on impact?
Mostly they just remove the handle keep the detonator and put an inertial firing pin behind it in the 3d printed tail. Different methods of doing this but it is the basic method from what I have seen.
Where can I buy one of these or the cut away display box
Ukraine might have few on drones :P
I have no Idea. I found this one in an unlikely place and it was a one off. I dont even think I will ever see a cutaway here.
@@Stray03 I have one, it's pretty neat and it's very difficult to find an original. Does yours have the wave shaper or can you not see it?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I assume the charge in these is just your "bog standard" EFP? I imagine it very similar to the warhead on an RPG?
Shaped charge, and yes like the RPG. EFP has a larger stand off and more of a dished disk than a cone. Shaped charges in general have a standoff about 1.5x the diameter of the cone.

Does the blasting cap come with the grenade from the factory or is that something that has to be supplied separately?
I think it comes in a separate container with the crate of grenades but don't quote me on that. Part of the preparing is to install the cap. Much like with the British mills bombs and other ordinance. Safer for transport.
Lots of little moving parts lol, way more complicated than i thought it would be.
Yup. Surprising actually
Is this a timed device, or does the impact set off the firing mechanisms?
Impact detonated
How does the chute wires not grab your hand? Is there a particular way to hold them, is the release bar against your palm or your fingers?
By the time the thing fully deploys it is far enough away from your hand, so I dont think there is any worry about it catching on. You are only releasing the cap on throwing and not how I did it. If you released the bar/chute and then tried to throw it the thing would explode in your hand. Although you could throw it with fingers or with palm on it the way the safety pin is in it would mean it goes against your palm. Less chance of accidentally releasing the lever that way as it won't "slip" passed your fingers if you decided to abort the throw.
Assuming you're right handed though, correct?
@@napalmholocaust9093 now we give people the choice, when these were made there were no left handed soldiers, especially in the Soviet union. Left handedness has been stigmatized in most cultures until rather recently.
@@Stray03 My grandma always told me about that! Had the weird effect she was basically bi-dexterous, and did some things with one hand, yet others with the other. She could also write well with both hands, which always amused us kids, as we tried to match her... ^^
This is exactly what needs to be provided to the defenders of Ukraine - I experienced this issue in Iraq/Afghanistan (urban fighting)… and it ultimately destroyed vehicles. The grenade is very effective! It’s better for small units fighting without RPG-support. Perhaps, outdated but yet very effective.
They are being used over there. Most of the footage you see they are being modified and dropped from drones but there is footage of soldiers being trained to throw them so I assume some were given to troops as a last ditch weapon. Rockets are very available though so they would be used before hand throwing an rkg3.
Seems exceptionally cost effective vs Nlaw and other modern/current gen anti tank devices
Just you need a drone to be effective with it since the distance you can throw it is not where I would want to stand in relation to a tank.
Hey man do you know of anything other than planes that fly in the night skies. And I mean there are many of them. They have no lights. Only a silver like glare and you can’t tell what shape they are. Don’t think there drones.
Everything commercial should have lights, unless they drug smuggling. What do they sound like?
@@Stray03 No sound. No lights like the planes. You can only see them through glasses. Their just a silver blur racing through the sky. I’m going to buy real strong glasses. I’m in Georgia here in the states. You should check it out where your at. Be safe.
@@crawwwfishh3284 area they really tiny and far away?
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 There are those that are far away. They are just a small blue light the size of a kernel of corn that zoom across the sky. But there is something I see through the looking glasses. No lights just a silver blur zooming across the sky. I can’t make out shape or size. They seem to be low. I can’t even figure out how I see them with no lights. The glasses must pull light from the stars so that I’m able to see them. They move way to fast to follow with anything but glasses. Thank you for any advice.
Glasses as in binoculars? Seems RUclips didn't let me know you answered here. Maybe your govt is flying some unmanned?
could you put the parachute back inside the handle once it pops out?
Yes I can reset it. Not easy to do because it is always trying to pop out but it can be.
@@Stray03
I have a couple of copy Chinese Type-3 (handle only) , pretty curious what's like when it pop out so I'm just asked you if it could be reset after opened for sure .
many thanks btw!
Nice. No problem
@@Stray03 man, after opened it. I realized the whole interior of the Chinese Type-3 was totally built different from the Soviet one. There aren't any useful information about how to reassemble them since people mostly posted about Soviet one instead of CN and after 2 hrs, I still can't reset the whole thing, can't believe the damn Chinese put cardboard inside their hand AT grenade
I'd have to see a picture. It can't be much different. Is the cardboard just the tub that the parachute goes around?

You get moved in yet.
Yeah. Working on house right now. A lot of things that need looking after.
How are you doing?
@@Stray03 Still kicking and waiting to be schooled by another of your interesting vids. You be safe my friend.
Jesús Christ dude… speak!!! Could have been 30 seconds long.
Hi Sir, is it possible to do a Re assembly video, im from fb page Canada Militaria and got an East Europe Inert Rgk3 but cant figure how to put it back ;)
You need to make a light sheet metal tube to start with. Then the Parachute has to be wrapped around it pressed in against spring pressure, then the cap installed over that. Probably the reason I didn't make one was because it is such a clumsy procedure that showing it on camera without a second set of hands is rough. I may in the future make one once I get a good method to do it.
