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"). Blindicide were used by armies of Belgium, Switzerland, Israel, Mexico and some other countries. In Switzerland it was produced under licence as Raketenrohr 58.
