The RPG-18 Mukha, meaning Fly in Russian, is a Soviet short-range, disposable light anti-tank rocket launcher, designed in 1972 and based on the American M72 LAW. Manufactured by Bazalt in the Soviet Union and by VEB Mechanische Werkstatten in East Germany, it fires a 64mm warhead and has remained in service since 1972, having been used in more than twenty conflicts by more than twenty armed forces around the world.
