RUAG develops anti-structure munitions

Article Abstract:

Switzerland's RUAG Warhead Division demonstrated two versions of its Modular Explosive Penetrator (MEP) warhead, the MEP-enabled RPG-7 against a 200 mm concrete target and the PzF3 against a 1.2 sandbag emplacement. RUAG are also developing a multipurpose fuze that would allow the user to choose if the MEP detonates within the protection for a 'wall-breaker' effect, or in the usual manner.
