RL-36 Anti-Tank Launcher — Technical Brief
Overview
The RL-36 Anti-Tank Launcher is a shoulder-fired, rocket-propelled weapon system developed in 1936 and entering service in 1939. It provides Gondaran infantry with organic short-range anti-armor capability while maintaining strict adherence to mobility, durability, and role-specific doctrine.
The system is built around a two-piece, rapid-assembly launch tube and a 75mm rocket family, with the primary munition being a high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) round.
