At least this time Ukraine is able to defend their land rather than getting run over by massive empires during other world wars. Ever since Ukraine has existed Russia and other empires have tried to stamp out Ukrainian culture but Ukrainian independence has always returned. It's a horrible war but it's Inevitable one. It's our responsibility as NATO to make sure Ukraine wins it.

@@brookwhiteman9810 I don't like the way you bring NATO into it. NATO has nothing to do with guaranteeing the independence of any non-member state. It is purely a defensive alliance, as it has repeatedly tried to make clear in face of accusations from Putin of it being anything else. What I think is more correct to say is that it is the responsibility of other UN member states to help Ukraine defend itself, since the UN is built upon, among other things, the principle of state sovereignty, and since not respecting the sovereignty of another state sets a precedent which puts all other states, particularly smaller ones, at risk.

@sashimanu10 күн бұрын
it is a very well known problem ackshually. The brittle cast iron body just shatters into dust instead of shrapnel, and also takes away the energy in the process. That's why modern munitions have pre-made fragments, and why there is a layer of epoxy between the filler and the steel in MON/Claymore ordnance.
@fridrekr751010 күн бұрын
All the grenades he has tested have honestly been underwhelming. But I guess that’s because my reference is instructors acting like they’re lethal for hundreds of meters, while Val is just casually throwing them from minimal cover. It looks like they have to hit within a couple of meters to be incapacitating.

The design flaw regarding fragmentation was first studied in World War 2 by US forces in "Terminal Ballistics data, volume iii, bombs, artillery, mortar fire & rockets". The Mk2 Grenade in use at the time with the US Army was originally filled with Flash Powder. Flash Powder isn't a proper explosive, and deflagrates instead of detonating. The grenades broke into very large, low velocity fragments, usually along the notching as envisioned. The individual fragments had good lethality, but extremely poor spread and the overpressure effect was non existent. Later, they started filling the Mk2 with flaked TNT. TNT proved to be too powerful for the cast iron grenade body, and the grenade produced many small, high velocity fragments, completely ignoring the notches on the outside of the grenade body. As Valgear notes, the fragmentation of the F1 is similar, the notches usually have no effect on the fragmentation, which remains very random. Most western forces now use pre-fragmented grenades with predictable and optimised blast and fragmentation.

The info at the end is interesting. Many militaries seem to have completely substituted the usage of offensive/assault grenades for defensive/fragmentation grenades but, clearly, HE and thermobarics still have a place in the battlefield, and soldiers should consider carrying both types of 'nade. So: fragmentation to wound enemies in the open; overpressure to neutralise enemies in buildings.

После войны от Ковешникова уже напрочь отказались из-за его сложности, веса и дороговизны в производстве и стоимости непосредственно латуни, из которой он состоит на 90%. Всё это разнообразие наконец заменили простым как семейные трусы и максимально дешевым и скорым в производстве узргм. Он конечно не лишён многих недостатков, но для совка на тот момент, лучшего и пожелать было нельзя.

You don't need to suspect, the F1 grenade was standard issue long before WW2, and also the only thing that was French about it was the vague design of the body. The grenade consists of the body, the explosive inside, and the fuze. The fuze was local (and then replaced by the newer standard Soviet fuze). The body is cast iron (and the shape doesn't matter, as was demonstrated, the F1 shape is pretty bad). The explosive is local. What would the equipment/moulds be for - threading? Finally, the lend-lease was from the US and Britain. Neither used or produced the F-1.

Khattabka can't be more effective than a VOG which it's made from. VOG can't be more effective than a normal hand grenade due it's weight. Also to make Khattabka you need to take UZRGM.

Also I have to mention that all the handmade explosive devices (which Khattabka is) are complete bs and always made out of dispair (or stupidity).
