RPG 7s are crap on that, unless you manage to land multiple shots, which is always a bit of luck considering it is unguided.
Russians just sell them crap don't they?

RPG-7 is not like RPG-7. They come in a wide variety of models, from "old" to "recent". The most recent ones you do not want to get hit by.
Then: urban warfare, infantry firing at tanks from elevated positions. Russian tanks find it difficult to elevate their guns that much so that they can aim fighters on roofs and close by, they learned that the hard way both in Chechnya and again in Georgia. But fighters have fun firing RPGs onto tanks' roofs.
And in infantry fights I assume even an old RPG-7 is bad news for the receiver.
And Russians selling crap, well, their AAMs and ATGMs I do respect. Some of them are really extremely lethal.
