Introduction
The RPG-32 Hashim is a rocket launcher of Russian origin. It was developed in the mid 2000's at the request of and in cooperation with Jordan.
Design
The RPG-32 uses a short reusable launch tube. The launcher is fitted with optics, fire controls and a carrying handle. Disposable canisters pre-loaded with a rocket are attached to the rear of the launcher. Four types of missiles are available, which are derived from RPG-26 and RPG-27 munitions.
Firepower
The RPG-32 uses 105mm or 72mm rockets derived from the RPG-27 and RPG-26 respectively. The 105mm tandem HEAT warhead is capable of piercing 650 mm homogenous steel armor. The effective range is 200 meters. In both calibers the rockets are available in a thermobaric variant.
Users
The RPG-32 has been adopted by Jordan and it is expected many nations in the Middle East will adopt it in the near future.
