F-1

Notes: The F-1 is a WWII-vintage fragmentation grenade that continued to be employed long after that war, and is still encountered today. F-1 grenades encountered in Lebanon in the mid-1980s were encountered with fuses of anywhere from 0 to 13 seconds delay; it is not known whether these different fuses are readily-available or were an experiment (the fuses had Russian markings, but have never been encountered anywhere else).

RDG-2/RDG-2Ch/RDG-2Kh/RDG-3

Notes: These are the standard Bloc grenades for screening smoke purposes, and in addition to being thrown, may be projected from vehicular smoke projectors. The RDG-2 grenade can produce conventional white smoke, or there is also an RDG-2Ch version that will produce sight-obscuring and IR-obscuring black smoke. Dense smoke is produced for only 18 complete phases (90 seconds). The RDG-2Kh looks similar and is the same size, but produces irritant gas for 12 complete phases (60 seconds). The RDG-3 is also similar to the RDG-2, but produces orange smoke for marking purposes.

RGO

Notes: This is a more modern Russian hand grenade, most often found in the hands of Russian troops, and little exported outside her borders. It consists of a steel body with the lower half notched and the inner body prefragmented for a large amount of fragment production. It is a standard sort of fragmentation grenade.

RKG-3/3M

Notes: The RKG-3M is a slightly improved version of the RKG-3, but both are rather primitive, hand-thrown antitank grenades. It requires a very brave or very desperate soldier to use one of these grenades.

ZDP

Notes: This is a Russian incendiary smoke grenade normally used during assaults to provide screening smoke and a few incidental casualties among the enemy. The grenade may be hand thrown or projected by an attached rocket motor to a base range of 25 meters. (When using this method, the ZDP uses Grenade Launcher skill.) The ZDP uses white phosphorous to provide smoke and produce casualties. The width of the smoke cloud is the same as the burst radius.
