“ Hot chili grenade
The Indian military has weaponized the world’s hottest chili pepper, the bhut jolokia, or “ghost chili.” The infamous pepper rated at more than a million Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili’s heat. In comparison, jalapeño peppers max out at 8000 units. Compounds from the chili will be used in a hand grenade that, like tear gas, can overwhelm an aggressor.
