The 105mm RPG-27 Tavolga shoulder-fired disposable rocket launcher was developed by Bazalt in the 1980s to meet a Soviet Army requirement for a weapon able to defeat modern main battle tanks with ERA and composite armour and field fortifications. According to Bazalt, the tandem-charge warhead of the spin-stabilised rocket can defeat more than 600mm of RHA after penetrating ERA, 1.5m of brick or concrete or 3.7m of earth. The RShG-1 is a variant of the RPG-27 equipped with a thermobaric warhead to defeat personnel.
Both variants are in Russian service and offered for export.
