The information on this page is wrong. The RGD-5 grenade has never been a defensive grenade - it is an offensive one. It has also never been a fragmentation grenade - it is a blast grenade. Many countries have used the RGD-5 as a template to build RGD-5-derived fragmentation grenades (such as China's Type 59, Bulgaria's RGO-78 or Poland's RGO-88), but not the Soviet Union.

This page also states that the RGD-5 is compatible with the MUV-series of trap fuses - it most definitely isn't (not any MUV fuse available to rank-and-file members of the Russian army, anyway).

All this can be verified by simply checking the Russian page that deals with the RGD-5.
