Russian Ministry of Defense Shows Soviet "Rapira" Anti-Tank Guns in Action

"Rapira" can fire even in difficult weather conditions thanks to its radar sight

The Russian Ministry of Defense has released a video of the operation of the MT-12 "Rapira" 100-mm towed anti-tank guns.

They have been in service since the Soviet era, but remain quite combat-ready if needed

The MT-12 "Rapira" is towed on a gun carriage and can fire HEAT and high-explosive fragmentation rounds even in difficult weather conditions thanks to its radar sight.

It can hit tanks and other armored targets of any enemy, and can also handle dugouts and concrete shelters.

The anti-tank gun weighs 3.1 tons. It fires about 6 rounds per minute at a range of about 8,200 meters. Drones help the artillery crew to refine targets.
