Infantry WeaponsSPG-973 mm tripod-mounted recoilless gunThe 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.

Infantry WeaponsRifle grenadesRifle-launched grenade munitionRifle grenades are muzzle- or launcher-fired grenades that let ordinary riflemen project explosive, smoke, signal, or anti-armor payloads farther than hand-thrown grenades. In the Battle of Marawi, reporting on Philippine Joint Task Force tactics described rifle-grenade fire as part of slow urban clearing attacks, while post-battle recovery reports also listed rifle grenades among weapons recovered from the former main battle area.

Infantry WeaponsRPG LauncherShoulder-fired anti-armor rocket-propelled grenade launcherRPG launchers are portable infantry anti-armor and direct-fire weapons used to fire explosive grenades against vehicles, buildings, and fortified positions. In Marawi, sources identify IS-aligned militants using RPG launchers against Philippine armored vehicles and show RPG launchers and high-explosive RPG rounds recovered after the battle, while leaving the exact model unresolved.

Infantry Weapons9K111 FagotMan-portable anti-tank guided missile systemThe 9K111 Fagot, known to NATO as the AT-4 Spigot, is a Soviet man-portable SACLOS wire-guided anti-tank missile system built around the 9P135 tripod launcher and 9M111 missile family. Its compact launcher, vehicle-mount compatibility, and 2 to 2.5 km range kept it relevant for legacy users, including Russian anti-tank teams documented in the Russia-Ukraine War.

Infantry Weapons9K115 MetisMan-portable anti-tank guided missile systemThe 9K115 Metis is a Soviet/Russian man-portable, wire-guided anti-tank guided missile family developed for company-level infantry anti-armor fire. The original AT-7 Saxhorn system emphasized a light launcher and short-range portability, while the later 9K115-2 Metis-M and Metis-M1 variants use larger 130 mm missiles, tandem HEAT or thermobaric warheads, and ranges up to 2 km. In the Russia-Ukraine War, Russian forces have been documented using the upgraded AT-13 Saxhorn-2 / Metis-M variant against Ukrainian armor.

Infantry Weapons9M113 KonkursSACLOS wire-guided anti-tank guided missileThe 9M113 Konkurs, NATO reporting name AT-5 Spandrel, is a Soviet wire-guided anti-tank guided missile family built for infantry launchers and vehicle mounts such as BMP-series vehicles and the BRDM-2-based 9P148. Its SACLOS guidance, 135 mm missile body, and 4 km class engagement range kept it useful after the Cold War, including documented employment in Ukraine and Armenian/Artsakh 9P148 Konkurs losses during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh fighting.
