The 8.8 cm Rocket Launcher 43 (Raketenwerfer 43) was a reusable anti-tank rocket launcher developed by Nazi Germany during World War II, featuring an 88 mm caliber. It was designed to enhance the anti-tank capabilities of infantry.
This weapon was mounted on a small two-wheeled carriage and fired a percussion-primed, rocket-propelled grenade RPzB Gr. 4312 with a shaped charge warhead. The grenade had a shorter tailboom of 490 mm compared to the 650 mm tailboom of the electrically-primed RPzB Gr. 4322 used in the Panzerschreck.
Approximately 3,000 units were produced between 1943 and 1945. Although the Raketenwerfer 43 offered better accuracy and over twice the range of the Panzerschreck, it was more expensive and heavier, with a longer production time.
