Shmel M entered service in the 2000s. Unlike the late 1980s Shmel, it is reusable.

RPG is unguided short ranged weapons, more suites in Guerrilla type warfare @Paul Bearer

It's good for blowing up kamikaze kars. Kamikaze kars are unarmed, lightly armored, slow, have to travel on road so they cannot zig zag. A direct frontal shot from 300 meters away will blow it.

It is best to blow a kamikaze kar from directly in front of it.

Doesn't matter guided missile is enough from drone is enough for this kind of threat @minimi

No need. A cheap RPG is enough.
and unguided their chance that target would miss if not properly aimed, guided missiles is more then 90 percent accurate, that's means you have 90% success rate against the targets, whereas RPG success rate is less then 50% @minimi

Shmel M has 90% hit rate at 300 meters distance. You can have several soldiers shoot it at the same time.

If favorable situation persist and these kind of soft targets would be eliminated by heavy machine guns on tanks and guided shells easily, RPG is risky game for its launcher @minimi

Heavy machine gun is harder to set up and harder to carry around. RPG is light and a single infantryman can carry it and quickly deploy it. Reaction is fast if there is a kamikaze kar coming down the road.
