== General Information == The RPG-29 "Vampir" is a shoulder-launched, unguided, tube-style, breech-loading anti-tank rocket system with a range of 500 meters. The RPG-29 was designed by the Bazalt company in the late 1980s and later adopted by the Soviet Army in 1989 and then the [[Russian Ground Forces]] (RGF) in 1991 once the Soviet Army dissolved. The RPG-29 is the last RPG to be created and adopted by the Soviets before the Soviet Union's dissolution. The RPG-29 was exported to a decent amount of nations and non-state organizations: notably Iran, Mexico, and Ukraine. Features of the RPG-29 include a 2.7×1P38 optical sight on the top of the launch tube and a shoulder brace for proper positioning, along with a pistol grip trigger mechanism on the bottom of the tube. When launched, the missile deploys eight fins as the rocket leaves the launcher, stabilizing the rocket during the flight up to a range of 500 meters. The RPG-29 is unusual among Russian anti-tank rocket launchers in that it lacks an initial propellant charge to place the projectile at a safe distance from the operator before the rocket ignites. Instead, the rocket engine starts as soon as the trigger is pulled and burns out before the projectile leaves the barrel. Although it may be possible that this weapon was adopted by the Russian military, it certainly is not in widespread use with them. It has been exported to Iran, Mexico, and Syria and employed by militants in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and more. It can penetrate up to 600 mm of homogenous armor beyond ERA, 2,000 mm of brick, 1,500 mm of reinforced concrete, and 3,700 mm of log and earth. <ref>[http://www.roe.ru/mmc/index.html PG-29V anti-tank round for the RPG-29 rocket launcher.
