Illustration for: Non-lethal Russian Bombs: Types and Uses

Among the many types of “non-lethal” bombs developed by Russia, the Russian site “Rosoboronexport” mentions three models, all designed to create an explosion and light without any lethal effect in their area of use.

These are hand grenades designed to produce an explosion and light that mentally and psychologically impact the enemy. Therefore, they are used in the equipment of special forces soldiers.

This grenade is designed to confuse the enemy during special missions with high-level light and is equipped with a non-fragmenting metal casing.

This grenade is designed to produce intense sound and light that contribute to disabling the enemy’s ability to respond or limit their combat abilities, thereby increasing the special forces’ chances of completing their missions with minimal losses.
