Two images of the PG-9 anti-tank grenade (ПГ-9) forming the combat portion of the PG-9V anti-tank round (ПГ-9В , index ГРАУ - 7П3) and PG-15V. The pictures were taken on the territory of the former Yugoslavia (archive of my former colleague and commander from his time in the area). The ammunition was used in the 73 mm recoilless gun SPG-9 (СПГ-9 Копьё, index ГРАУ - 6Г6) and its versions.
