The latest weapon spotted on the frontline of Ukraine is the six-shot revolver-style RPG-40, a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.

The weapon, with a 250mm barrel, was originally ordered for the Polish armed forces but has now found its way into the hands of soldiers in Ukraine.

It is a shoulder-fired weapon and its design was inspired by the M32 grenade launcher.
