Anyone knows this type of mortar/rocket?

Apprehended today in Rio de Janeiro. Police claims it would be used against their armoured trucks. To me... it looks more like a mortar than a penetration round.
Anyone familiar with this warhead?

Not knowing the dimensions makes it tough.

When rounds are painted blue, that is the international symbol for practice rounds. I doubt if there is any explosives in it. Then again, a can of blue paint would turn me into a liar pretty quick.

I have to agree that it looks like a mortar round, as the tail lacks the skinny spring loaded stabilizing fins and the long burn tube of an RPG.

Hey, there are hundreds of different types of RPG's out there, just look:

or this

or this


You get my drift.

A case of beer says it is a mortar round.

Look at the holes for burn on the tail. Doesn't that mean that the burn is supposed to happen violently and in all directions? You would need a tube to compress that shit and give it direction. MORTAR.

If it had one burn hole in the back and stabilizing fins, it would be a weird and short looking RPG.

It doesn't have any MORTAR collars around the neck, which I would expect to see. Those blast off after firing, don't they?

Help me out, you mortar platoon boys.

are you sure that is an actual photo from the ones being used, or just a stock photo? if you watch CNN or any news channel you'll notice the use of "stock footage" is rampant... a local news station was talking about flooding earlier last year and mixed in year old footage with current footage... i feel sorry if the business owner who got flooded last year was watching that day, he would have honestly thought he was flooded again that evening....

Apparently, it is an artillery practice round. So say the experts in Rio. It makes sense. No collar + smooth shaped head + flat T shaped fins + blue collor..
Thanks for the reply.
BTW, size is
