Enterprising Ukrainian soldiers are launching modified World War II-era hand grenades from mini-drones to destroy Russian tanks, an innovative tactic which is reportedly further damaging and destroying advancing Russian armored vehicles.

Interestingly, the grenades themselves were originally invented by Russia to attack Nazi tanks toward the end of WWII.

“The Russians invented a hand grenade. It was a shaped hand grenade that you could throw at a tank. And if you hit it, you could knock a tank out. And that was a result of them not being able to knock out German tanks with the stuff they had,” Mike Mears, Former Director of Human Capital, CIA, told Warrior in an interview.

This proved effective to a large degree, Mears explained, however attacking soldiers throwing grenades had to be close enough to hit the tank throwing the grenade by hand, therefore placing themselves in close proximity to enemy tanks and in the line of fire. This tactical scenario, and the risk it involved, partly inspired the creation of the longer-range Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG).
