POTD: Russian Special Forces with RPG-26 (RShG-2)
Above, in our Photo Of The Day, we have a ZVO Special Forces soldier firing an RShG-2 grenade launcher in the Tambov region. This is a variant of the RPG-26 Aglen, but with a with a thermobaric (aerosol) warhead.
Below is a caption auto-translated from Russian.
A three-day special training of the military police was launched in the Northern Fleet with the involvement of all units within the borders of the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions. It will deal with issues of combat readiness, ensuring law and order and military discipline, road safety during the movement of troops, as well as the protection of command posts and escort of critical cargo.
Particular attention will be paid to the interaction of the military police forces and units of the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian Guard and the Ministry of Emergencies in the area of responsibility of the Northern Fleet.

Is that some type of blank firing adaptor for the AK in that last photo?
