Russian troops in Ukraine mistook a tree ornament for a super-deadly modified Swiss grenade, and it was even reported on Russian news. (sopuli.xyz)

Swiss grenade? Am I missing something? Do we have an internationally recognized kind of grenade? My conscript time wasn't in the Infantry so I never had any.

They claimed it was an HG-85 fragmentation grenade.

Really different

With an extra layer added for more shrapnel. Which is dumb. Fragmentation grenades already have a shrapnel section that's very effective.
