So it’s an ugly, heavy fragmentation bomb that looks like it was made from spare parts found at an auto parts supplier.
Other than the fact that it’s especially ugly, how is this different than any other standard military frag bomb or grenade?

Cheaper and probably less effective than a purpose-built one, that’s more or less it. As to why vatniks are so worried about them, well, your guess is as good as mine. These do look sorta gruesome compared to regular 'ol factory-made frag mortar rounds that the Ukrainians have generally been using, so maybe vatniks just assume that they’re somehow worse?
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
All that rust makes them look like tetanus bombs. Which isn’t exactly funny, but it does make me chuckle. Hey Ruski, catch!
For turbo war crime mode, store the frag material outdoors in soil and then when the bomb is assembled, slather it with poop.
