An incendiary grenade is a type of explosive device designed to create fire upon detonation. It typically contains a flammable substance, such as a gel or liquid, which ignites when the grenade explodes. These grenades are often used in military operations to destroy equipment, create barriers, or flush out enemies from cover. The primary purpose of an incendiary grenade is to cause damage through fire rather than shrapnel. They are commonly used in conjunction with other weapons and tactics, making them a valuable tool in combat situations. Their effectiveness can be enhanced when used against structures or vehicles, as they can ignite flammable materials within.
