The SPG-9 Kopye (Spear) is a Russian tripod-mounted man-portable 73 millimetre calibre recoilless gun developed by the Soviet Union. It fires fin-stabilised rocket-assisted HE and HEAT projectiles similar to those fired by the 73 mm 2A28 Grom low pressure gun of the BMP-1 armored vehicle. It was accepted into service in 1962 replacing the B-10 recoilless rifle.
