B-10 recoilless rifle

Artillery And Mortars

The B-10 recoilless rifle is a Soviet 82 millimeter smoothbore recoilless gun that could be carried on the rear of a BTR-50 armored personnel carrier. Developed from the earlier SPG-82, it entered Soviet service in 1954, was phased out of the Soviet Army during the 1960s and replaced by the SPG-9, though it remained with Soviet parachute units into at least the 1980s. Though now obsolete, it saw use by many countries during the Cold War.
