Nine Hundred Death Gods: Russia Has Developed a Grenade to Counter Armored Infantry!
Effective killing within 8 meters of personnel wearing second-level body armor.
August 21, TASS reported.
Russian scientists have developed a patent for a new type of fragmentary thermal explosive grenade designed to counter protected and hidden enemy infantry.
The main body of the ammunition is made of polymer, in the shape of a cylindrical hemisphere, with 900 damaging elements fixed inside, which are steel balls or tungsten balls.
The products manufactured using this invention have been experimentally verified, according to the documents provided by the Federal Agency, which were submitted by the Institute of Applied Chemistry.
An integrated fuze composed of explosives and thermodynamic explosive components is installed inside the grenade, and a standard UDZ-5 fuze is used for ignition.
According to the patent specification, when the explosive detonates, it increases the positive compression phase time, allowing the damaging elements to reach speeds of 1300-1500 meters per second.
According to the data provided by the inventors, the new device combines fragments, explosion, and thermal effects.
Within a distance of eight meters from the explosion, it effectively injures personnel wearing second-level body armor.
The project authors also pointed out that the grenade is ready for mass production in specialized enterprises.
