NEWTOWN, Conn. -- While not nearly as well known as the M72 LAW and RPG-18, the RPG-75 has proved to be a cost-effective weapon that works as advertised. In some ways, the RPG-75 is actually superior to its American and Russian counterparts.
Nevertheless, the RPG-75 remains trapped in the shadows of its more widely known competitors from the United States and Russian Federation. Beyond Czech Army procurement, sales of the RPG-75 have been very limited. The weapon's lack of brand recognition in a glutted international market continues to hinder export sales despite the apparent virtues of the design.
The Forecast International Weapons Group expects some renewed Czech Army procurement for domestic needs - mostly to recover losses that occur through normal attrition - throughout the decade.
Without significant export sales, the RPG-75 will remain a minor player on the international market. Given the sales history of this weapon system, we do not hold great hopes for the RPG-75 suddenly becoming a star - or even a major player - on the international market for man-portable anti-tank and bunker buster weapons.
