Grenades And Explosives

The M79 Osa is a Yugoslav-made portable 90mm anti-tank weapon built largely from fibre-reinforced plastics, designed and manufactured by Sloboda and introduced in 1979. It fires an unguided shaped-charge projectile capable of penetrating about 400 millimeters of armor at ranges up to 600 meters, and it saw extensive use in the Yugoslav Wars and later in conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
