| Source measurement | The LRAC de 73mm Mle 1950 ( lance-roquettes antichar de 73 mm modèle 1950 (LRAC 73-50) ) was a French antitank rocket launcher produced and fielded in the 1950s. The LRAC fired a 73 mm (2.9 in) high explosive antitank projectile that was capable of penetrating over 11 inches (280 mm) of rolled homogenous armor when struck at a 90-degree angle of impact. The LRAC 73-50 was replaced in French service by the LRAC F1 . Used during the Korean War for the French Battalion of the United Nations Organisation , it pierced the armor of T-34 tanks.[source]73mm LRAC · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
