P.S
No such thing as Bullet proof glass its bullet resistant to what ever G rating.
And as soon as new kit is developed someone gets the job of working out how to defeat it.

Another nasty one for urban warfare and anti-personnel use is the newish 105mm Thermobaric projectile.

What's with the
???
The RShG-2 is a variant of the RPG-29 equipped with a Thermobaric warhead.The RShG-2 and RPG-29 are a single-use launcher, that were an upgrade on the RPG-18, unlike the re-usable RPG-7 with which the PG-7, PG7VR and TGB-7V projectiles are used.
The Russian RPG family comprises the RPG-2, 7, 18, 22, 26, 27, 28, 29, 32, and the RPO-A Shmel (Bumblebee) which fires a Thermobaric rockets and two other variants being the RPO-Z and RPO-D, the MRO-A and the Varna.
RPG or Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot translates as Hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher......and not Rocket Propelled Grenade as widely believed.

So to any Russian wanting to knock out a Challenger 2 use a Challenger 2 if you want to tickle one use some Russian crap
Or just use an Armata.Incidentally the insurgents in Iraq etc mostly have the old PG-7 warheads and actually have large numbers of Chinese made Type69 launchers........unlike the Russian military.
Around 450-ish Chally 2s have been produced.......compared to 2,251+ Russian T90s
