Ukrainian fighters have found a new use for outdated grenades that is proving spectacularly effective at destroying Russian tanks and other armored vehicles, Radio Liberty reports.
This photo released by Aerorozvidka, an organization that develops Ukraine’s use of small drones in warfare, shows a Ukrainian-made octocopter drone with two bomblets mounted beneath it.
Videos recently released by Aerorozvidka show what appears to be the same, tail-finned explosives being dropped by drone before destroying armored vehicles with catastrophic explosions.
Weapons trackers following the conflict in Ukraine have identified the bomblets as modified Soviet-era RKG-3 anti-tank grenades with 3D-printed tail fins attached to stabilize their fall from drones.
