The UDZS fuze has both impact and time delay functions, the impact fuze arms after a pyrotechnic delay of 1 to 1.8 seconds. If the grenade strikes an object after this time a spherical lead shot filled impact weight will trigger detonation. If the grenade has not struck anything after 3.5 to 4 seconds the second pyrotechnic delay will detonate the grenade, allowing the grenade to cause an airburst over a target area if necessary.
The grenade contains 97 grams (3.4 oz) of A-IX-1 (a mixture of 96% of RDX and 4% of wax) explosive; it has a stated lethal radius of 4 metres (13 ft) to a maximum of 10 m (33 ft), and a safety radius of 25 m (82 ft).
According to Jane's , the grenade can be thrown to a distance of approximately 30–40 m (33–44 yd), while Russian sources gives an approximate throwing range of 40–50 m (44–55 yd).
The time delay mechanism in the impact fuze acts as a safety, preventing friendly casualties if it impacts too soon, while the time fuze will air-burst over an enemy under cover if it hadn't impacted after 3.5 to 4 seconds.
