mass produced
involved in first battle AS to AS against a M6 Bushnell in Fifth Mideast War
development began in 1992 (post-Gulf War)
used by Eastern-block countries
cheap with several modification potentials to compensate, therefore inexpense makes it popular in Third World countries
steel-compound monoblock material comprises body

Rk-92U Savage Variation:
One of several variation potentials, this model is note of mention due to its bulk export to Eastern Europe, Middle East and African continents. While the RK-92 units operate best in desert environements, joint failure rate increases with harsh desert environment exposure therefore soft cover over joints and filters keep unit free of sand. Additional difficulties include overheating during the day and freezing fluid components during the night, altitude adjustments required engine compressor be replaced with high-pressure unit. Guerrilla attacks wiped out this model considerably.
** Utilizes the Monroe Effect, where a single dimple is made in the explosive where the heat and impact will concentrate when detonated - this generates a ”high-temperature, high-pressure plasma jet” penetration through the enemy armor. The HEAT weaponry employed by the RK-92 has two HEAT charges so that the first HEAT charge burns penetrates armor and plasma jet from second releases into interior of enemy.
