I am betting these are not fragmentation grenades.

I have seen what those do in confined spaces.

That looks more like what concussion grenades, or flashbangs do.

You are luck if half the frag from any grenade doesn't go straight into the ground or air in the first place, the rest mostly fans out at leg level.

My take away is that guy is very tall or doors in Ukraine are shorter than in the US.

Anyway, we should send a few billion to those people to fight the climate change given off by the detonations of those grenades.

I can't remember where I read it, but it will take UKR's population something like 50-100yrs to recover. Those times may not be accurate, but it was a staggering number of years.

Regardless of frag, the concussion of the explosions are devastating. This does not look like that.

Also, in a room with 20-30 people, only the ones closest will eat the frag. So that's why 6 are seriously injured.

IIRC, I believe the RDG5s have that stamped outer shell and the frag is actually a perforated wire coil. As I said before, dozens of videos of these going off right next to people without them being incapacitated.

Yeah, “grenades” as a class can be really variable. I think it’s mentioned in “Shots Fired in Anger”, that GIs in Guadalcanal used to just stomp Japanese grenades into the mud and they were fine.

They're F1s.

They have less explosive filler than the RGD5s and M67s, thus their sub performance.

I don't know shit about grenades, but we just saw the IDF video where an IDF soldiers shrugs off a grenade going off right if front of him. Then he rounds the corner and kills the Hammas guy.

It stands to reason that grenades aren't as effective as the movies make them?

Definitely possible (F1 has 2.1oz), but to me the shape looked like the stamped RGD5(3.9oz). Neither are great compared to the M67 (6.5oz of a better explosive, plus a hull that frags much better).

I guess now they are saying a couple people have died

There's two traditional types of grenades:

Concussion and fragmentation.

You know the historic German stick grenade?   Those were concussion grenades.  They were meant to be thrown by most everyone in a squad as they rushed a position.  The concussion that would result would stun and disorientate the enemy as they stormed the position.  No fragmentation meant that they were relatively safe to be fairly close to.

Frag grenades have a very wide lethal zone, and are also known as defensive grenades, since you tossed one, you'd probably be in some sort of cover.  If you just tossed one on a flat field and stood there, the chance of getting hit with a fragment is very high.

Wow, three grenades in a small room and nobody died?  I mean, tossing a grenade is one of the most anticlimactic things I've done after growing up watching '80s action movies (with huge fireball and vehicles being launched into the sky), but still, you'd have expected some deaths in that confined space.  He'd have saved more lives if he'd taken out zelenski instead.

Grenades are definitely underpowered compared to what most people expect after watching tv and movies.  But three grenades in a smallish room with lots of people right in front of them, I'd expect a bit more.
