Details: These laser simulators are a cutting-edge tool in training grenade launcher crews to handle RPG-7s.

"The device is crafted as a mock ammunition, fitted onto a grenade launcher. Its range for striking virtual targets mirrors the firing distance of an RPG-7. The simulator can be used for practice in pre-firing preparation, aiming, shooting and adherence to safety protocols. It also features a function that simulates damage from a jet stream," the Ministry of Defence stated.

The ministry added that the device seamlessly integrates with other simulator types, paving the way for comprehensive training solutions.

Background: Earlier, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence codified a training kit for shooting skills. Developed by a Ukrainian company, this kit facilitates dynamic, scenario-based training of personnel’s practical actions across diverse tactical settings.
