Bulgarian ATGL-H anti-tank recoilless guns have been transferred to the territorial defense forces of Ukraine.

The 100th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade showcased training with these weapons.

The recoilless gun is designed to defeat tanks, self-propelled artillery systems and other armored targets, as well as to destroy enemy manpower.

“Our anti-tank recoilless guns’ crews once again worked out the ability to destroy armored vehicles and enemy manpower,” the Brigade said.

The recoilless guns were supplied with SGL-9MA optical sights.

For the guns to defeat armored vehicles, Bulgarian RHEAT-9MA2 73mm projectiles and propellants were transferred as well.

They can also be used to destroy enemy manpower in shelters and brick fortifications.

The manufacturer stated that these projectiles can have an armor-piercing capacity of 300mm and hit targets at a range of 1,300 meters.

The ATGL-H recoilless guns are manufactured by the Bulgarian Arsenal enterprise.

In fact, ATGL-H is a version of the Soviet SPG-9 Kopyo recoilless gun.

The SPG-9 Kopyo recoilless gun was adopted in 1963. Subsequently, a fragmentation anti-personnel projectile was developed for the gun.

It should be reminded that the Bulgarian BULARMAS LTD company “Warrior” anti-tank grenade launchers have also entered service with the military of Ukraine.
