The Czech Army PG-9 Rocket is an inert training rocket from the Cold War era. These rockets would have been used to instruct soldiers how to maintain, load, and fire the SPG-9 recoilless rifle which was the standard man portable cannon of the Soviet Union. Made for use by the Czech Army, these training rockets were never put into service after being produced just prior to the fall of the Soviet Union.
The SPG-9 Kopye (Spear) is a tripod-mounted man-portable, 73 millimeter caliber 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.
