Turkish forces have stepped up buying Bulgarian products last few years,especially Jandarma(hundreds of pkm machine guns)forces so it would make sense to buy RPG rounds from Bulgaria as well.
I saw on news just recently with a picture of exact rpg warhead that Turkey started to produce it. You know, rpg is not able to stop tanks anymore, i thought this is developed to have bigger warhead to stop at least ifv

I have never seen any RPG warhead like this. It might be a national thermobaric warhead.

Looks like Bulgarian made RPG warheads... and the company Arsenal has three different warheads (Thermobaric, Incendiary, Smoke) in the exactly same shape as our soldier is holding in the photo.

Why are they still using old rpg’s ? Can’t they develop something more modern ?

That's why we need lightweight switchblade equivalents at the fireteam level. 2-3 per fireteam would be sufficient.
agreed. having an Alpagu at the hand would have saved those 4 martyrs in Northern Iraq that fell to a Konkors attack.

I doubt that, you would need to use it before they fired konkrus. It means they would be already detected. We need more uav activity near our trrops in Iraq and Syria.

Thermobaric warhead like the one in the picture is not intended to stop any tank not even T-55 or any modern IFV(maybe some cold war era relics).
It's used as anti structure or against gruped enemy forces in closed space.Knowing the terrain Turkish soldiers operate in I would assume they are using it to fire in caves where their enemy hides or uses as bases.
