The RPG-32 Nashshab (Arabic: ار بي جي نشاب) (Russian: РПГ-32) (called Nashshab in Jordan) is a Russian-Jordanian[1] hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher. It was designed and developed by state-owned FGUP "Bazalt" weapons manufacturing company.

Description

The RPG-32 multipurpose grenade launcher consists of a short, reusable launcher tube with grips, firing controls and sight mount, detachable collimating sight and disposable ammunition containers, which are pre-loaded at the factory and attached to the rear end of the launcher before firing.

It has inherited proven and successful solutions in design of the weapon and rockets from earlier Russian grenade launchers, and it can be used to engage and destroy battlefield targets from modern main battle tanks and armored personnel carriers to bunkers, military equipment and troops in defilade or in the open.

Usage

It was developed between 2005 and 2012 by Russian state-owned FGUP 'Bazalt' organization on request and under contract from Jordan.

First RPG-32 'Nashshab' grenade launchers were to be delivered to Jordan from Russia in 2008, and it was planned that the RPG-32 and its ammunition would be mass-produced in Jordan under license at the JADARA factory.

On 30 May, 2013, Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov and King Abdullah II opened a production facility for the Russian RPG-32 in Jordan.[2][3]
