The Spanish company Instalaza has signed a contract with the Estonian Centre for Defence Investment (ECDI) for the supply to the Armed Forces of the Baltic country of a batch of 5,942 C90-CR-RB (M3.5) anti-tank rocket launchers.
This contract, together with previous orders for the C90 – the dual-purpose version CR-AM (M3.5) – is part of an ongoing framework agreement, which demonstrates – highlights the company – the confidence of our customers in Instalaza’s weapons systems and, in addition, in the company as a partner of the Estonian Defence Forces.
The C-90-CR-RB is a variant of this anti-tank system with a weight of 5.3 kg, a range of 350 m (spot target) and a penetration capacity of 480 mm in armor steel and 1.2 meters in concrete. Like all versions, it includes two-magnification optical aiming viewfinder and firing mechanism, both disposable and integrated into the launcher tube. The VN38-C night viewfinder can be used, which does not require homogenization and is assembled and disassembled on the battlefield in seconds. This viewfinder has interchangeable optics that allow it to be used also for surveillance with 3.3 increases.
ECDI Armament Manager Ramil Lipp stated that “the acquisition of disposable anti-tank grenade launchers from our contractual partner is important to increase short-range anti-tank capabilities. Disposable weapons have the advantage of being very easy to use, which does not require a long period of training and therefore significantly increases the self-defense capabilities of tactical units.”
