Hungary Will Be First RGW-110 Operator
The Hungarian Ministry of Defense has signed a joint venture agreement with Dynamit Nobel Defence GmbH. Hungary will become the first customer for the the newly developed RGW110 HH-T, which like the earlier RGW-90, has a tandem HEAT and HESH warhead capability.
The agreement was signed on 9 December, by Dynamit Nobel Defence’s CEO Michael Humbek and László Palkovics the CEO of N7 Holding Ltd, Hungary’s state owned national defense industry innovation company.
According to a report from S&T a manufacturing facility to produce the RGW-110 will be built in Kiskunfélegyházá. Some export of parts made at the Hungarian site is also planned. During the signing of the agreement Humbek noted that “the environment we have found here favors and encourages investments.”
Few details about the RGW-110’s capabilities have been released with the new weapon announced back in 2018 and firing trials completed in 2020. It is a development of the successful RGW-90 which has been used by a number of countries including Germany, the UK, Mexico, Israel and Singapore. Large numbers of the RGW-90 have been transferred to Ukraine as aid where it has been regularly seen on the ground.
Billed by Dynamit Nobel Defence as “the direct successor generation of our iconic Panzerfaust family, the RGW 110 variants will set the benchmark in anti-tank defense for all troops” the anti-armor weapon has a 110mm tandem, dual purpose warhead and an effective engagement range out to 800m with armor penetration believed to be in excess of 1000mm.
