Jadara Equipment and Defence Systems has developed a new shoulder-fired rocket launcher designated as Raptor-LA.

Speaking to Janes at ADEX 2022 in Baku where the company unveiled the launcher, Jadara's Nidal Sejaja said that work on the system commenced around one-and-a-half years ago and had recently completed.

Sejaja described the Raptor-LA as a company-developed product, save for the sighting system, which is common with Jadara's Nashshab RPG-32. The fin-stabilised 107 mm rocket is a clean-sheet Jadara design, and can penetrate up to 500 mm of rolled homogeneous steel armour, itself protected by an explosive reactive armour, he explained.

Sejaja said that Jadara wanted to develop a wholly made-in-Jordan rocket launcher that offered an enhanced range and armour penetration over existing systems in its portfolio.

The Raptor-LA has not been developed to meet a specific Jordanian military requirement, Sejaja said, noting that the company will be targeting the domestic and export markets.
