Russian troops in Ukraine mistook a tree ornament for a super-deadly modified Swiss grenade, and it was even reported on Russian news. (sopuli.xyz)

Swiss have diamond grenades?

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Swarovski hand grenades.

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

I always thought the "hand" part of "hand grenade" referred to it's throwability, not to diamond hands πŸ’ŽπŸ‘

Just wait until they see the tree-shaped missiles loaded with many of these!

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Swiss grenade? Am I missing something? Do we have an internationally recognized kind of grenade? My conscript time wasn't in the Infantry so I never had any.

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

They claimed it was an HG-85 fragmentation grenade.

[–] linchiao@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Really different

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

With an extra layer added for more shrapnel. Which is dumb. Fragmentation grenades already have a shrapnel section that's very effective.

Haha okay thanks for the context. These idiots should at least make their propaganda plausible.

According to tankies, this is what peak performance looks like.
