This is a grenade developed during WWII in the Soviet Union for use against tanks and other armoured vehicles. The grenade was further produced after the war and its production was introduced under license by Yugoslavia under the designation M79. An improved version of the RKG-3M has a higher effect against armour.
In 2020, the Kiev Majak plant modified the grenade into a small bomb RKG-1600 by adding aerodynamic surfaces. These are printed on a 3D printer. The bomb is dropped from unmanned vehicles.
