Since the invention of the hand grenade, it has become a necessity for soldiers to carry alone**. The lethality of a grenade is often closely related to its charge, volume, and delivery distance.
As the three most powerful countries in the world, the United States, and Russia, how far can soldiers throw grenades? Russia had a distance of 62 meters, the United States 54 meters, and China put them both aside.
As a single item of the grenade, the throwing distance is often inseparable from the posture maintained by the soldier when throwing. On the battlefield, soldiers can generally drop grenades while half-crouching, standing, or lying on their stomachs.
There have been statistics made by the United States: taking ordinary American soldiers as an example, the distance of throwing grenades is generally about 60 meters, and some taller soldiers can throw grenades at a distance of up to about 80 meters.
The Russian soldiers, who are the opponents of the United States, throw grenades at a distance of about 55 meters by their ordinary soldiers. After professional training, the throwing distance of special forces is relatively long, which can reach a distance of about 75 meters. From the above, it is not difficult to see that whether it is the United States or Russia, the soldiers of the two countries throw grenades at about the same distance.
The grenade is very familiar to our country. As early as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, grenades became the main combat equipment of individual soldiers in China by virtue of their strong lethality and easy mass production.
According to relevant statistics at the time: more than 50% of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression were caused by grenades. This shows the important role of grenades at that time. Since the beginning of the new period, our army has also been equipped with different types of grenades, the lethality of which also varies.
Therefore, for our country, the use of grenades has a wealth of combat experience. In my team, grenade throwing has become an important subject.
From the moment the recruits enter the barracks, they learn how to throw grenades, and every year there is a competition in the army to select the best personnel. Therefore, there is also a figurative metaphor for hand grenades in our army, called "hand cannons".
Therefore, compared with the United States and Russia, our army should also have an advantage in the distance of throwing grenades. Once, in the martial arts competition, I once set a record of throwing a grenade of 106 meters.
In terms of size alone, there may be a slight gap between me and Russia and the United States. However, with mature experience and skills, in terms of grenade throwing distance, our army is also far behind the armies of the United States, Russia and other countries.
