The Indian military has a new weapon against terrorism, the worlds hottest chili. After conducting tests, the military has decided to use the thumb-sized bhot jolokia to make tear gas-like hand grenades to immobilize suspects.
The bhot jolokia was accepted by Guinness World Records in 2007 as the worlds spiciest chili. It is grown and eaten in Indias northeast for its taste, as a cure for stomach troubles and a way to fight the crippling summer heat.
It has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chilis spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000.The chili grenade has been found fit for use after trials in Indian defense laboratories, a fact confirmed by scientists at the Defense Research and Development Organization, Col. R. Kalia, a defense spokesman in the northeastern state of Assam said. This is definitely going to be an effective nontoxic weapon because its pungent smell can choke terrorists and force them out of their hide-outs, R. B. Srivastava, the director of the Life Sciences Department at the New Delhi headquarters of the DRDO said.Srivastava, who led a defense research laboratory in Assam, said trials are also on to produce bhot jolokia based aerosol sprays to be used by women against attackers and for the police to control and disperse mobs.
It will be worth observing, while Insurgents today have all sort of latest weapons, how the decision and theory of using Bhot Jolokia in ammunition by Indian Army will bring success, especially that too when the weapon itself is something Indian insurgents(specially the North Eastern Insurgents) are adapt to eating with food.
