👉 The "Monday Weapon" is a term that refers to a set of offensive weapons or tactics allegedly used by Russian special forces and military units, particularly during the early days of the Ukraine conflict in 2014, but with a specific association to the perceived "Monday" operation in Ukraine's Donetsk region. This operation, named after the Monday when Russian forces began their large-scale incursions into Ukrainian territory, reportedly involved the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other weapons. The term "weapon" here is somewhat ambiguous, as it could refer to both conventional and improvised explosive devices. The exact nature and scale of these weapons remain a subject of debate and investigation, but they are often described as being designed for quick deployment and high lethality, reflecting the urgency and intensity of the early military actions in the conflict.
