Everything is Artillery in Ukraine - SPG-9 Volley Towards Russian Forces

A group of Ukrainian troops set up and volley recoilless rifle rounds at a high angle towards Russian positions. Everything in Ukraine is turning into artillery.


It seems like every day, a new weapon system is being used as artillery in the war in Ukraine. In this video, several SPG-9 recoilless rifles have been lined up, set to their maximum angle of fire, and unloaded in the general direction of Russian forces. While I admit I have little knowledge on the use of the SPG-9 in combat, I feel fairly certain that it's generally used as a direct-fire weapon system against armor, not as an indirect fire weapon system against personnel.


Another interesting thing to note is that this could be an adaptation of Ukrainian tactics. One of the Russians strong-points throughout this conflict has been their ability to conduct counter-battery operations against Ukrainian artillery pieces. More than likely, the SPG-9's 73mm rounds aren't something that's going to be picked up by a counter-battery radar operator, which means these weapons can be fired without the concern for immediate return fire from Russian forces.
