SPG-973 mm tripod-mounted recoilless gunBuilt by: Soviet state arsenals / Arsenal / RomarmThe SPG-9 is a Soviet 73 mm tripod-mounted recoilless gun that fires rocket-assisted HEAT and fragmentation projectiles from a crew-served launcher. Though designed as an infantry anti-armor weapon, Ukrainian units have documented its continued use in the Russia-Ukraine War as a flexible fire-support system against trenches, infantry groups, and light armored vehicles.Built in archive

MON-90Directional fragmentation anti-personnel mineBuilt by: Soviet state arsenals / Bulgarian productionThe MON-90 is a Soviet-designed directional fragmentation anti-personnel mine, broadly comparable in role to a large Claymore-type munition. It uses a plastic, curved body and a heavy explosive charge to project steel fragments across a fixed arc, and open-source mine-action reporting identifies it among the antipersonnel mines contaminating Ukrainian territory during the Russia-Ukraine War.
MON-50Directional fragmentation antipersonnel mineBuilt by: Soviet/Russian defense industryThe MON-50 is a Soviet directional fragmentation antipersonnel mine broadly comparable in role to the M18 Claymore, with a plastic body, folding legs, and a forward fragmentation pattern. It can be command-detonated or configured with tripwire and other fuzing, making it a compact infantry obstacle and ambush munition. In the Russia-Ukraine War, monitoring groups identify MON-50 mines among Russian-used hand-emplaced antipersonnel mines, adding to the dense explosive contamination faced by Ukrainian deminers and civilians.
RPG-22Disposable shoulder-fired anti-tank rocket launcherBuilt by: Bazalt / VMZ SopotThe RPG-22 Netto is a Soviet disposable anti-tank rocket launcher developed as a larger-caliber successor to the RPG-18, firing a 72.5 mm PG-22 HEAT rocket from a telescoping fiberglass launch tube. Its light single-shot format made it a common short-range infantry anti-armor weapon in Soviet and post-Soviet stocks, and ARES documented an RPG-22 among weapons seized from alleged Russian saboteurs during the opening days of Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
RPG-7Reusable shoulder-fired anti-tank rocket launcherBuilt by: Multiple state and licensed producersThe RPG-7 is a Soviet-origin reusable shoulder-fired rocket launcher built around a simple 40 mm launch tube and a wide family of over-caliber anti-armor, fragmentation, and thermobaric rounds. Its low cost, portability, and large global stock make it a common infantry anti-armor and assault weapon, including in Ukrainian service during the Russia-Ukraine War.
