This 40mm launcher I think is made for export and testing. I dont think the Russian are abondoing the 30mm gernade. This 40mm launcher I think is made for export and testing.

Great blog though! Just a quick correction, IDEX is held in Abu Dhabi, you are confusing and combining it with its better known sister city in the UAE, Dubai I think. Great blog though!

Neither weight of weapon nor weight of ammunition is a major problem on vehicles and such weapons are too heavy for dismounted use anyway, so I wonder why they apparently emphasized ammunition weight. Reliability, external ballistics, effect and ammunition volume are the most interesting variables of such a weapon.
