To spread: The Spanish defense company Instalaza has officially presented the development at the FEindef-2025 exhibition. The launcher was created in view of the experience of using its predecessor in real combat conditions. This was reported on May 15 in Army Recognition. Hispano MPW (Multipurpose Weapon) is a reusable 90-mm shoulder missile installation developed by Spaniards to meet the needs of modern infantry.

"The system marks a significant evolution in the anti -tank and multi -target weapons segment, introducing multiple architecture to a proven C90 ammunition family, now improved by increased range. This innovation improves modularity, logistics and mobility. - analysts said. This waste -free starting unit can shoot the C90 ammunition, including anti -web, anti -bunning, two -target, smoke and enhanced shells. This offers significant advantages in cost and logistics.

At the same time, under his Hispano MPW created a new two -stage ammunition, capable of hitting targets up to 650 meters. The Hispano MPW is equipped with a reusable metal smooth barrel, covered with a protective fabric to reduce thermal signature. This grenade launcher integrated Vosel-H (FCS) fire control system, fully developed by Instalaza.

It has daily and night modes with optical and thermal imaging, laser rangefinder and automatic ballistic correction based on a projectile type and surrounding conditions. FCS is able to adjust the aiming by measuring the angular speed and variables of the environment. The length of the starting unit is less than a meter, and its weight reaches about 5. 8 kg (without FCS). Therefore, weapons are suitable for use by airborne troops and mobile infantry.

It is characterized by modularity and digital control of fire. It is noted that HISPANO MPW has been developed on the basis of many years of experience in RPG C90, which was widely used by Spain's armed forces and exported to customers around the world. Part of the appearance of the novelty is the answer to the reviews from the real battlefield, in particular from the Armed Forces, which praised the reliability and efficiency of C90.

It is the Ukrainian experience that was inspired by the name of the grenade launcher: "Hispano" is a field nickname that the defenders gave C90 systems. The developers have officially accepted this name, paying homage to those who used a precursor weapon on a real leader.

Other HISPANO MPW systems are that: the publication emphasized that the supply of the Armed Forces News would give the accuracy of light and medium -sized armored vehicles, increasing the tactical defense capabilities at the platoon or compartment level. Ammunition compatibility to C90 would allow soldiers to quickly learn work with development, as well as accelerate deployment.

At the same time, new shells would have expanded the typical melee distances, providing an advantage in the distance of damage to armored vehicles and fortified positions. "Using a proven C90 ecosystem and improving its digital guidance and guns with great shooting, HISPANO MPW offers modern armies a smart, flexible and economically effective tool for anti -tank and multi -purpose combat interaction," analytics summed up.

Defense Express noted that the C90 RPG had been supplied to Ukraine since 2022. The approximate cost of this system reached approximately 3000 euros. The price of HISPANO MPW is still unknown, but according to analysts, it should be much higher. The shells are likely to cost about the same. We will remind that the War Zone told about the multi-purpose CHEngDU J-10C fighters of Chinese production, from which Pakistan knocked down five India Air Force fighters.
