![]() ![]() An extensible probe in the warhead enables enhanced armour penetration. ![]() The weapon provides the ability to fire a 110mm calibre projectile from the 60mm calibre launcher. The rocket booster ignites once the projectile is at safe distance from the operator, and further accelerates the projectile. The designers decreased the projectile’s muzzle velocity to 165m/s to reduce the weapon weight as well as the flash, smoke and sound generated when a round is fired. The weapon uses the Davis cannon principle to kill the recoil force generated by it during launch, allowing it to be launched from a limited volume space, using an over-calibre projectile attached to the front part of the launching tube.Ī countermass equal to the weight of the projectile is ejected from the rear end of the tube to diminish the recoil force. Several types of rounds are available for the weapon differing in the warhead types. The warhead is attached to the fire control and sighting unit before firing. The weapon system comprises two basic parts, a 110mm calibre warhead pre-loaded into a disposable canister, and a reusable fire control and sighting unit. It is used with different types of cartridges for required action on different types of targets and can be fired from vehicles and closed rooms. It is an unguided portable launcher of anti-tank missile and rocket systems, primarily used against armoured targets. The Pzf 3 anti-tank weapon has a length of 1,200mm and a weight of 13kg. The package also includes 400 rocket-propelled grenades and 200 Stinger air-defence missiles. ![]() ![]() In February 2022, the Netherlands announced the supply of 50 Pzf-3 anti-tank weapons to Ukraine. It is currently in service with several countries including Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Peru, Italy, South Korea, Iraq and Ukraine. The Pzf 3 entered service with the armed forces of Germany (Bundeswehr) in 1987, following the completion of development in 1985. ![]()
