Russia’s advanced RPG-32 “Barkas” reusable shoulder-launched, unguided anti-tank rocket system has been spotted in Ukraine.
On August 11, a video showing a soldier of Kiev forces test-firing the RPG-32 in an unspecified part of Ukraine surfaced online. Back then, Ukrainian sources said that the weapon was captured from the Russian military. While these claims could be true, the weapon has not been spotted with any Russian unit since the start of the special military operation in Ukraine.
Russia’s Bazalt developed the RPG-32 between 2005 and 2007 on request and under contract from Jordan. Later, Jadara Equipment & Defence Systems began assembling the weapon in Jordan from kits made in Russia by Bazalt under the name “Nashshab”.
The RPG-32 can be armed with the PG-32V tandem high-explosive anti-tank round that can penetrate 650 mm of rolled homogeneous armor, or with the TBG-32V thermobaric round for use against the enemy’s infantry and fortifications. Both rounds have a maximum range of 700 meters.
While the anti-tank weapon is not guided, it can be equipped with a variety of sights for day and night missions as well as with a laser-range finder.

Jordan has been maintaining a neutral stand on the conflict in Ukraine. However, Abdullah II did praise Western military support to Kiev during an interview with CNBC in June. Moreover, Jadara is known to enjoy close ties with Ukraine’s military industrial complex. The company assembles a licensed copy of Luch’s RK-3 Corsar anti-tank guided missile in Jordan under the name “Terminator”.
How exactly an RPG-32 ended up in the hands of Kiev forces remains up to debate. The weapon did make surprise appearances before in Iraq, Yemen and Libya.

Zelensky is planning a counter attack, with his little cut dick on Arestovich’s bum hole!
Funny thing is I saw Zelensky wearing those girl clothes not Putin in a video
Why would you deliver any weapons to arabs besides Assad and Hisbolah? All other arabs are happy servants off the US.
If you want to deliver weapons then do it to Hizbolah, Iran and Huthis but oh no your saudi and israeli business partners would not like it so nevermind.
Jordan is a friend of Israel -met Israeli Defence Minister Gantz and took an anti Palestinian view then met Zionist President Isaac Hertzog -all smiles and handshaking .
A Peace Treaty – Israel/Jordan has been signed so sending Jordanian/Russian arms to Ukraine is par for the course .
I take the view there is only one view and that’s anti- Zionist.
Arabs don’t serve the USA … they serve the $USD. As soon as the Saudi’s stop supporting the petrodollar exclusively you’ll see Arab states oppose Israel and the USA.
BRICS should completely stop accepting USDollars as payment for the goods they export and the rest may follow their initiatives.
gaza?
Russia should destroy the planes or ships that leaving the US and the UK just in case they have weapons for Ukraine, both are party to the war against Russia.
Russian foreign policy is such crap and nonsense that they are literally supplying the enemy with fuel. It is no wonder they can’t win with such crazy policy.
if you feel so strongly about it and you really are a Russian citizen ??? why dont you join the Russian Military — Russian females did great on the front line in WW2 I greatly admired them – female captains- Majors – Air Force etc long before the west allowed females to fight on the front line .
Do you want Russian female hero’s ?? I have all their historical details from WW2.
Why would anyone want to belong to a corrupt organization that is unable/unwilling to complete basic tasks? There are better ways to commit suicide.
1. Russia isn’t at war with Ukraine … yet. Therefore Ukraine isn’t Russia’s enemy … yet.
2. They have contracts with third parties like Germany that are valid until Russia declares war on Ukraine or declares Ukraine a ‘terrorist state’.
3. The Duma is meeting this week on the terrorist attacks on Russian civilians by Ukraine. If they decide to name Ukraine a terrorist state then those supplying Ukraine with aid or weapons are considered to be supporters of state terrorism and those gas supply contracts become void.
Sure, sounds very much like bs that comes out of Moscow. That is why everything is mess and a failure.
Okay Vanya you dont like how Russia is run lets hear your vision of what you would like Russia to be – who do you want in charge how would you run Russia ??
Being permanently negative about Russia looks like you dont like Russia– period !
While Mr.Putin isn’t “Action Man ” but a “Thinker ” the USA/UK has admitted he has out-thought them especially in the field of commerce and sustainability transferring resources to Asia helping the Russian currency under the heaviest sanctions in history.
Would your “Man of Action ” be up to that job ?
I would like more action but I am not Mr.Putin.
If you don’t like to hear wha’t coming out of Moscow what the fuck are you doing here?
Where are you seeing “mess and failure”?
Russia’s already beaten Ukraine once … Ukraine had to start begging for money and weapons back in March.
Now we have Ukraine 2.0 armed with NATO’s weapons and manned by 16 – 60 year old conscripts in the trenches and ex-NATO “volunteers” manning the heavy weapons and giving orders.
Very interesting stuff. I don’t think Putin wants to stop selling gas to Europe somehow. So there is probably a way around that problem, me thinks. It is, however, nice to have the option to cut off the gas to the West. Could come in handy. It is a massive bargaining chip that Putin can keep in his back pocket should the time arise when he feels its a good time to use it, for whatever reason. Great comment. Explains a lot about the intricate details of international business deals.
So despite getting tens of thousands of “superior” NATO supplied NLAW’s and Javelin’s Ukrainian soldiers prefer the Russian weapons when they have them … given a choice I’d want the one with the thermobaric grenade too … that shit is awesome.
Your right and that comes from several US whistleblowers who say the US goes for highly complicated military arms because they can charge massive amounts of money for their services .
The Rifle used by the US forces is useless in sandy conditions it jams – also the F35 is a death trap – cant fight Russian jets at close range needs a paint job to keep its “invisibility ” after every operation – ejector seat can decapitate you – is so bulky that various Russian radars can detect it – needs services often- overheats etc -etc -etc.
The UK/EU /Australia look like suckers buying them – US has admitted its a failure – now trying to design a new attack jet to replace it.
Still not got a good working copy of the Russian Sarmat even the USA military admit that too.
That tin pot King is not neutral he is a US puppet.
BOMB up the factory in Jordan which makes these, with HIMARS captured from ukraine.
