Ukrainian Armed Forces demonstrate testing of Ukrainian-made DG-01 grenade
The Ukrainian military has tested the DG-01 grenade, designed to create smoke screens, for the first time. The Armed Forces have been in service with such smoke grenades since the summer of 2021. Military Media Center was the first to report the test.
The DG-01 grenade meets NATO standards. It is used to mislead the enemy. When installing a signal tripwire with a DG-01 grenade, the military is able to record the movement of the enemy.
Technical characteristics:
- Weight: 650 g.
- Burning time of the mixture: 3 sec.
- Duration of smoke formation: 120 sec.
- Curtain length: 30 м.
During the tests, the snipers used the DG-01 to cover their retreat from the position. The grenades are produced in Ukraine in white and black colors. DG-01 cannot be compared to Soviet “smoke grenades”. The new Ukrainian grenade is more resistant to mechanical damage and moisture.
