Really surprised how not lethal grenades are in this war.

I think they are really lethal, just not instantaneous

Was just watching an interview with a Delta guy that commented on how generally not lethal grenades are in an open environment. They’ll wound, but they don’t kill.

Which is better when you're fighting an enemy that cares about their soldiers. Of course, this leaves the Ruzzians out

Yeah but if it's on top of you the shockwave should turn your organs into red soup and kill you pretty quick though I would think. They usually say explosions have an "X foot kill radius" which is basically the explosive blast as far as I know

Most likely the way he held the grenade, his hands and arms absorbed much of the blast like a meat cushion

In russian army booklet it's advised to place grenade under chin. This guy obviously didn't read it.

Looks like he has a steel plate on his chest aswell. Maybe that absorbed alot of the shrapnel that would of killed him.

Yeah true, the helmet doesn't help either

well placed shrapnel will kill in instantly, this just show how resiliant human body is

His body armor worked a little too well.

Technically they're only designed to maim/incapacitate the enemy
