They convert an external stimulus (impact, friction, electrical impulse, flame) into detonation or explosion. These include detonator caps, fuzes, electric detonators, detonating cord, etc. Their primary function is to ensure reliable, controlled, and timely initiation of detonation of the main charge. https://sappers.com.ua/en/handbook/explosives 2026-04-30 weekly 1 https://static.sappers.com.ua/picture/main-oFfRLXyo-EVObJxnd.jpg Explosives Chemical substances capable, under the influence of external stimuli, of rapid chemical transformation accompanied by the release of a large amount of heat and gaseous products. https://sappers.com.ua/en/handbook/explosives/initiating 2026-04-30 weekly 0.9 https://static.sappers.com.ua/picture/main-NEjendHy-CVIoYys5.jpg Initiating Explosives Initiating explosives have high sensitivity to external action (impact, friction, flame).

Flash-initiated detonator caps detonate under the action of the flame from a safety fuse, primer cap, electric igniter, as well as from the detonation of detonating cord and the effect of the blast shock wave from a nearby explosive charge. Stab-initiated detonator caps detonate when pierced by the point of a striker. https://sappers.com.ua/en/handbook/grenades/anti-tank 2026-04-30 weekly 0.9 https://static.sappers.com.ua/picture/image-V7Dw7hZj-GVu8MkFQ.jpg Anti-Tank Grenades Grenades are intended to engage armored vehicles through shaped-charge and high-explosive effects.
