Blindicide
The Blindicide is an antitank rocket launcher designed in Belgium in 1950s as an improved derivative of the M20A1 Bazooka. It was produced by Mecar SA in three modifications: 83mm (3.27 inch) RL-83, RLC-83, a shortened version of the RL-83, and 100mm (3.94 inch) RL-100. The name of this weapon can be translated as "tank killer" (from the French "véhicule blindé" that means "armoured vehicle" and the suffix "-cide").
