Home made "Hatabka" grenade

[Yodamaster]

Hi all,
I found this WE on a FB page pictures of a home-made grenade in Northern Caucasus, called "Hatabka".
Here, two pictures of it and the comment with them.

" In Nothern Caucasus very popular now home-made handle grenade "Hatabka" which got name of frm islamic commandant Hattab
[FONT=&amp] These granade made on base of rifle grenade VOG 17 by cut of their firing devices and installed firing device UZRGM used in Soviet handle grenade F 1 and RGD 42
As VOG 17 filled by mix of HMX they made best effect then RGD 42 but with less weight then RGD 42 and of course F 1."

Should someone heard something about them, or better, should someone have technical data, pictures or drawing ?
It would be very interesting !

Hi all,

Improvised hand grenades. Here some Bulgarian factory attempts (seems to be obsolete):
“AR-ROG” compact defensive hand grenade (the body is based on the projectile of VOG-17 round for 30-mm automatic grenade launcher AGS-17)
