History

For decades, the Spanish military industry has developed many indigenous solutions to local needs and has proven to be a capable player on the world stage. Founded in 1943 during World War II, Instalaza SA focused on infantry weapons and developed the MAT-120 mortar cluster munition system, the Alhambra grenade and the C90 series of anti-tank rocket-propelled (RPG) missiles. arms.

The latter is a 90mm caliber single-shot armoured solution that has served with the Spanish Army, Marine Corps, Air Force and Guardia Civil. It has also found a home in inventories in Colombia, Ecuador, Estonia, India, Italy (special forces), Indonesia and Malaysia.

The C90 system includes a foldable fiberglass/plastic launch tube with integrated optics and shoulder strap. The total weight is 4.8kg and the length reaches 940mm. The projectile is a 90mm ammunition with a tandem high-explosive (HE) warhead and has an effective range of up to 300 meters. 2x optical sights help operators reach moving targets during the day or night.
