"Spombs" being used in the Ukraine War? (14 posts / 3,048 views)

I was just killing time reading the national "Daily Mail". There is an article on the Ukraine war about Russian soldiers writing slogans on ammunition.

Amongst the pictures there is a picture of a "spomb" (looks like a copy) and the next picture to it looks like a "Spomb" and something else, perhaps a small stabilising parachute etc to ensure that it falls vertical underslung below a drone..

Surely they are not putting an Hand grenade with its pin removed, etc inside the body of the spomb, flying it out over enemy lines and then dropping it on them?

It seems risky to me to the user, how many times have I loaded a spomb up to just clip the ground or a bush behind and it springs open or it springs open because it was not locked properly the moment you let go.

No handgrenade just explosive with an impact detonator behind the red cap glued shut.

Is as I said, its grenades that they put in them and it seems the Ukraine Soldiers started it first. Somebody even reported about it back in May about them using Spombs in this forum.

If it was just explosives with an impact detonator, they could fit that into anything with a tail stabilizer like a piece of cloth which is what you usually see them dropping from a drone, a tube full of explosives and a piece of cloth for the tail.

It was a mate in the military that told me about them putting explosive in them with an impact detonator, dropping them from buildings or drones.

It's a good job Mrs Spomb isn't still involved with the company or she might have tried to sue the Ukrainian government.

Yeah that's exactly what they're doing - putting grenades into spombs. I posted a Twitter link with video of it a few months back: http://www.carpforum.co.uk/Shared/Messages.asp?TopicID=434989

She's in Donbass now trying to catch them as they drop, so she can take them to her brief.

Fill it with fermented garlic hemp, that'll clear a town more surely than any frag grenade 🤢
