Question M90 Hornet RL

I can't seem to find any external information on the Yugoslavian "M90 Hornet RL."
I've been using it in a PBEM campaign in 1991. It is the sharpest AT weapon the Yugoslavs have apparently capable of puncturing a value of 80. Seems really strong, so I wanted to look it up and can't find any information anywhere. Can any one help?

cheers,
drez

These links are for the same weapon:

http://www.janes.com/extracts/extract/jiw/jiw_0816.html

The Hornet name comes from the nickname Strsljen.

cheers,

Tim

120mm seems hefty for shoulder-launched.

12 Kilograms is a lot to lug around, mind.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPG-29

18 kgs is even worse - but doable, probably more so if you have an APC or jeep nearby.

Cheers

The -29 seems more logical to me, it's not a "RPG" in usual sense but more like a light RCL (in the B-10/SPG-9 etc. category) but with more punch. RPG-28 seems too heavy to be worth lugging around with one shot and rather limited range... better have everyone with a lighter LAW (even though unable to pierce modern MBT from the front) and have heavy support in form of RPG-29 on platoon/company level, esp. in Russia along with light ATGMs (Metis-M).
