The death of a military man from the explosion of a power bank: "Flash" revealed which devices can pose a threat

Spread: The enemy can resort to the "simplest" sabotage, turning ordinary household appliances, to which power is supplied, into explosive ones. Because of this, anything "unfamiliar" that needs to be connected to an outlet can pose a threat to life. The enemy can carry out similar sabotage by connecting a detonator to a device that is powered.

Ukrainian radio technology expert Serhiy "Flash" Beskrestnov said this in his Telegram channel, commenting on the news about the death of a military man in Kramatorsk as a result of a power bank explosion on November 15. "To do this, the enemy takes anything that is powered, connects a detonator to it (for example, KD-8 or ED) and rams a plastid into it," the expert noted. After that, when power is applied to the device, the detonator explodes, posing a threat to the user and bystanders.

Serhiy "Flash" also gave an example of devices that could potentially pose a threat: The expert added that a similar sabotage can be implemented in thin smartphones and tablets. However, this is a less common threat, as a standard-sized detonator will not fit there. Serhii "Flash" also told how to act with unfamiliar devices in order to protect yourself.

"I turn on all such unfamiliar things (if absolutely necessary) through a long extension cord, and cover the product with a bulletproof vest," the expert noted. Stanislav "Osman" Bunyatov, the commander of the 24th Special Forces Brigade "Aidar" of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, reported on November 15 that a serviceman of the Ukrainian Armed Forces died in Kramatorsk due to the explosion of a power bank.
