The 90 mm M79 Manual Rocket Launcher (Ručni bacač raketa - 90 mm M79)
nicknamed "Osa" (a word meaning wasp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasp)) is a light, reusable,
and effective rocket launcher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder-launched_missile_weapon) system made of fiber-reinforced
plastics. It consists of the launcher, the CN-6 Sighting piece, a rocket (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket),
and the carrying case for the rocket. While primarily intended as an anti-tank (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank) weapon,
the M79 can also be used against fortifications and in an anti-personnel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-personnel) fashion.
It is made to reload quickly and is very portable. It is extremely similar in design
to the M90 Rocket Launcher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M90_Rocket_Launcher).
Operation
The launcher is operated by a two man team, an aimer and a loader. The loader attaches a rocket container to the rear of the launcher. The aimer then takes aim at the target through the CN-6 sight. The CN-6 sight has 3.5x magnification and a 10 degree field of view. It also features anti-laser filters to protect the operator blinding battlefield lasers. When the trigger is pressed, the rocket motor is fired electronically. The rocket leaves the launcher at a speed of approximately 250 meters per second. It is accurate enough to be used against armoured vehicles at a range of 350 meters, and can engage other targets out to 600 meters.
On impact a piezoelectric (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric) impact fuze in the rocket triggers the shaped charge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaped_charge) warhead, which can penetrate up to 400 millimeters of armour. The fuze is sensitive enough to trigger the warhead at impact angles up to 70 degrees from the vertical.
After firing, the spent rocket container is removed from the launcher, and a fresh tube is attached.
Operators
It is used by the Serbian Army (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_Army), and is found in former Soviet-bloc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet-bloc) countries such as those in Eastern Europe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Europe). The "Osa" was manufactured in the former Yugoslavia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Federal_Republic_of_Yugoslavia). Recently, it has seen use in the Kosovo War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo_War) and has been known to have been used by the Kosovo Liberation Army (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo_Liberation_Army). Croatia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia) has continued manufacture of the Yugoslav weapon as the RL90 M95. It is also produced in Macedonia.
CN-6, so if there is anyone who can help me a bit?
