I'm sorry but this paragraph is simply wrong. RGD-5 and F-1 was never considered in USSR/Russia as same class weapons. RGD-5 is offensive grenade i.e. grenade with limited effective range intended for use without cover. It replaced WW2 era RG-42 grenade. F-1 is defensive grenade with fragments flying range larger than range of throw therefore prohibited to use without cover. Usually motorized infantry troop carried two grenades: one RGD-5 and one F-1. Both grenades was replaced by new RGN (offensive) and RGO (defensive) grenades in 1980s but their design had some problems and collapse of USSR interfered so RGD-5 AND F-1 are still in use. I'm going to rewrite the section.[[User:VeNoo|VeNoo]] 07:27, 5 October 2011 (CDT) | I'm sorry but this paragraph is simply wrong.
