Military analysts from @UAWeapons noticed another model of anti-tank grenade launcher in the hands of the AFU.

What we know

We are talking about Bulgarian BULSPIKE-ATs. Ukraine bought an unknown number of these grenade launchers from Bulgaria several months ago.

BULSPIKE-AT is the upgraded version of Soviet RPG-22. It is produced by Vazovski Machine-Building Plant.

Incidentally, the BULSPIKE-AT uses the same shaped charge as the RPG-22. Bulgarian grenade launcher can be transferred from firing position back to transport position, while RPG-22 can not.
