Dynamit Nobel Defence has lately acquired an order from the German Federal Workplace of Bundeswehr Tools, Data Know-how and In-Service Help (BAAINBw) for the manufacturing and supply of three.500 Panzerfaust 3-IT DM72A1. The Panzerfaust 3-IT (Pfz 3-IT) is the newest member within the Panzerfaust 3 household of Dynamit Nobel Defence. With PzF 3-IT most important battle tanks with state-of-the-art reactive armor will be successfully engaged from all points. The warhead with tandem formed cost is designed in such a manner that every one sorts of add-on armour will be defeated. The warhead of Pzf 3-IT can be utilized in two operational modes and due to this fact can also be extremely efficient towards secondary targets e.g. to be present in built-up areas. The Pzf 3-IT will be fired from discipline positions in addition to confined areas. After all, fashionable sighting units, reminiscent of night time imaginative and prescient optics will be connected to the Pzf 3-IT.
The Panzerfaust 3 (lit. “armor fist” or “tank fist”) is a contemporary semi-disposable recoilless anti-tank weapon, which was developed between 1978 and 1985 and first entered service with the Bundeswehr in 1987.

The tandem DM22 warheads are manufactured from PBX octogene (ca. 95% ?-HMX) together with the propulsion unit. The penetration efficiency of the Panzerfaust 3 is as a result of formed cost precept and the fast response of the percussion fuse; the impact on the goal doesn’t depend upon the affect velocity. The Panzerfaust 3 is mild sufficient to be carried and fired by one individual. Nevertheless, earlier variants have been described as being excessively cumbersome and uncomfortable. Moreover, the firing mechanism was liable to jamming. It may be fired from enclosed areas because it doesn’t have a major backblast.
