Price includes both launchers, that can be split into two component parts. The Soviet RPO-A Shmel (Bumble Bee - РПО-А Шмель - реактивный пехотный огнемёт - Шмель) entered service in 1987 and fires a 93mm thermobaric warhead, with an effective range of 1000 metres. It is intended for use on buildings, bunkers and other `soft’ targets and is still in use with more than 15 countries. A thermobaric weapon is a type of explosive that uses oxygen from the surrounding air to generate a high-temperature explosion, and in practice the blast wave typically produced by such a weapon is of a significantly longer duration than that produced by a conventional condensed explosive. All deactivated weapons sold by D and B Militaria are deactivated in the United Kingdom and hold London or Birmingham proof marks and a certificate stating that the weapon has been deactivated correctly.
