Inert Replica Grenade for Counter-UAS, EOD, and Law Enforcement Training (Russia–Ukraine Conflict)
This inert VOG-17 drone munition training aid replicates a grenade observed in the Russia–Ukraine conflict that has been modified for use as a drone dropped munition. It is designed to support personnel in recognizing and safely responding to drone-delivered explosive threats, including drone-delivered grenades and improvised aerial munitions, encountered in modern operational environments.
The VOG-17 is a commonly observed munition modified for deployment via small unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Its use in the Russia–Ukraine war highlights how commercially available drones can be leveraged to deliver a variety of hazardous payloads. For first responders, bomb squads, EOD technicians, and security personnel, any grounded drone or recovered payload must be treated as a potential explosive hazard until properly assessed.
38 Sierra’s VOG-17 training aid provides a realistic, inert replica representation to support counter-UAS training, IED training aid applications, and drone munition recognition, including integration into Drone Incident Response Training (DIRT) and broader drone threat response procedures.
This training aid supports instruction across operational environments where drone munitions, drone IEDs, and improvised explosive devices are a concern.
Recognition of drone-delivered munitions, including drone-dropped grenades and improvised payloads
Counter-UAS response procedures for grounded or recovered drones
Bomb squad and EOD IED training aid applications and threat identification
Law enforcement and security personnel hazard awareness
Military and critical infrastructure protection exercises
Drone crash or forced landing response
Suspicious payload or package recovery
Response to drone overflight
Pre-detonation and post-incident threat assessment
Facility security and perimeter breach scenarios
Length: 200 mm
Width: 30 mm
Weight: 338 grams
The use of VOG-17 grenades as drone-delivered munitions in the Russia–Ukraine war has changed how explosive threats are encountered on the battlefield. These adaptations demonstrate how readily available conventional munitions can be paired with commercial drone platforms to create improvised aerial delivery systems.
The tactics observed in this conflict have direct implications for domestic and international security environments. Law enforcement, military personnel, and infrastructure security teams must be prepared to identify and respond to these and similar threats as they continue to proliferate globally.
Training with realistic inert replica drone munition training aids ensures personnel can safely develop recognition skills and response procedures relevant to current and emerging drone threats.
