What feature aids the PG-7 MEP in penetrating targets?

The PG-7 MEP is designed specifically for enhanced penetration capabilities against armored targets, and its steel penetrator is a critical component in achieving this. The steel penetrator is engineered to focus the kinetic energy of the projectile at impact, allowing it to breach the armor effectively. This feature is key to its functionality, especially in engagements with reinforced structures or vehicles.

Other factors in the design, such as the modular aspects or explosive fragmentation, may play roles in overall performance, but they do not directly relate to the penetrative ability as directly as the steel penetrator. The longer range can be beneficial in allowing the launcher to engage targets from a distance, but it is the penetrator that primarily influences successful armor penetration upon impact.
