The Ukrainian-made ammunition meets the characteristics of modern melee weapons. Ukraine has never produced this type of grenade before.
"The hand-held defensive fragmentation grenade is designed to defeat openly positioned enemy manpower. Due to its powerful effect, it should be used only from cover," the statement said.
- On September 7, CNN reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces began using Dragon drones on the front line, which can quickly burn vegetation covering enemy troops.
