The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has codified and adopted an anti-personnel fragmentation defensive grenade, an analog of the Soviet F-1 hand grenade. The Ukrainian-made ammunition meets the characteristics of contemporary close-combat weapons. Previously, we had no production of this particular grenade type. 

The anti-personnel fragmentation defensive grenade is designed to defeat openly positioned enemy troops. Due to its powerful effectiveness, it should only be used while in the cover.

The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has also codified and adopted a remote-action anti-personnel fragmentation offensive grenade, an analog of the Soviet RGD-5. A Ukrainian manufacturer has already started mass-producing it. 

Manufacturers and designers of weapons and military equipment are encouraged to contact the Main Department of Support for the Lifecycle of Weapons and Military Equipment via email for further inquiries regarding the codification process:  [email protected]
