DESCRIPTION |
||
|
- The Thermite Incendiary Grenade is a hand-thrown source of high heat energy for use in a combat environment when there is a need to destroy equipment, conduct general destruction, or sabotage operations. |
||
|
- An incendiary hand grenade is a specialized military munition used to destroy equipment rather than personnel. It contains a thermite mixture (TH3) that burns at extremely high temperatures, melting metal. |
||
|
APPLICATION |
||
|
The Thermite Incendiary Grenade is used primarily to provide a source of intense heat to destroy equipment or for general destruction or sabotage. The flare burns from the base, producing intensive heat sufficient to burn through 1.5 to 2 mm steel plate. It can be deployed quickly to achieve the specific purpose |
