The rocket launcher is very cool, and will make a great objective, but I think it's just a made-up AFV- any comments?

The AFV is 1/87, so a bit big for 15mm.

It's a Fuchs.

They all look fine to me.

I bought a couple to use with PP 15mm figures but it is way too big next to them.

It would be fine with 18mm type figures though.

Sorry, I was unclear- I think the rocket launcher is made-up and would appreciate advice on that.

The Fuchs model is 78mm long, and Wikipedia tells me that it is 7.33m long, which I make 1:94.

Looks a bit like an MLRS, with a Frog 7 missile on the back:

Yea, I don't think that is a "real" rocket launcher, but I imagine you could still use it, just for fun.

Who knows what sort of experimental weapons may be out there, that we've never seen.

The Russians and Chinese make some strange stuff.

I'm suspecting the Sultana (sorry, Sultanate) might like one or two of these:
