The Dark Reason Behind Why the RPG 7 Is Still Blowing Up Tanks Today
It began in the ashes of World War II.
When the Soviets studied the German Panzerfaust — a cheap, disposable anti-tank weapon used by desperate soldiers in Berlin — they saw not just a tool, but a revolution.
From that idea, they built something even deadlier: the RPG-7.
A simple tube, a rocket grenade, and a design so rugged it could survive mud, sand, and decades of war.
First used in Vietnam, then Afghanistan, then Iraq and Ukraine — it never went away.
Because unlike high-tech missiles, the RPG-7 didn’t need satellites or codes.
It only needed a human hand, a steady aim… and hate.
Today, more than sixty years after its birth, this Cold War relic is still blowing up million-dollar tanks — and reminding the world that sometimes, simplicity is the most terrifying weapon of all.
