Old fashioned pineapple grenade but with sharp edges for maximum gore.
All is fair when one side is flexing it's nuclear arsenal if anyone else wants to do something
Dunno if the sharp edges will really make a notable difference. At the velocities shrapnel's usually flying it doesn't really matter too much what shape the metal bits are and they're going to get deformed by the explosion anyhow.
The translation says, "Cut people to pieces." I guess it works really well.
Well, any shrapnel's going to "cut people to pieces". It's just vatniks trying to make these sound super duper scary – taking their Telegram channels at face value isn't a good idea
Shrapnel and fragmentation is a big part of the engineering work done, different things can cause different wounds.
It is possible that these are creating a “different” type of wound which a combat medic isn’t trained for because it’s not typical.
Once again though the easiest way to avoid these it to fuck right off and go back to Russia.
