They were used extensively in naval warfare, dropping a grenade down a hatch was very effective, but these were fuse lit and some what unreliable

In Open field battles you could not huck them very far and you were exposed to enemy arrows and other fire

In closed quarters they had some use

But in the field a cannon was far better

Oh classic Biden release someone who will provide guns to terrorists to kill innocent people to look like hero for bringing home a woman who was stupid enough to bring grass into Russia

Biden is the original Lord Farquaad " Some of you may suffer and die, but that is a price I am willing to pay"

Score another point for Putin

So we traded a guy who enables terrorists to kill thousands of people by providing them with arms, for a woman who was stupid enough to take drugs into Russia?

Oh yeah that was a great deal. Oh and all you innocent people who will now die because this guy is back in business. Your death is a high price to pay, But one Biden is willing to pay to look good
