The RGD-5 is a Russian hand grenade developed in the Soviet Union in the early 1950's, which was accepted into service with the Soviet Army in 1954, though it was widely exported and is in active service with many armies in the Middle East and the former Soviet bloc of countries after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The grenade is primarily egg-shaped without ribbing except for the lateral ridge where the two halves join together, with the grenade weighing 310 grams.
The grenade contains a 110-gram charge of TNT, with a fragmentation liner that's installed internally. It is still manufactured in Russia, with licensed copies being produced in Russia, China, and Georgia as well, though it is not as advanced to penetrate armor, it is one of the cheapest hand grenades, costing around $5 USD, making it quite affordable.
