The PG-7VR with a tandem HEAT warhead features increased armor penetration, and thanks to its tandem design, it overcomes any dynamic protection that modern armored vehicles may be equipped with.

Units with such ammunition in their arsenal successfully carry out tasks to destroy tanks, suppress fortified enemy firing points, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, unarmored and armored targets.
