UNIT Grenades (Walters' Failed Cybermen Attack)

Captain Turner’s grenades are the UNIT team’s primary weapon against the Cyberman blockade, but their effectiveness is limited. Walters throws the first grenade, followed by Turner’s order for another assault. The explosions scatter debris and briefly halt the Cybermen’s advance, but one survives intact, retaliating with its chest weapon to kill Private Perkins. The grenades’ failure underscores the Cybermen’s resilience and the desperation of UNIT’s tactical options. Their use in this event symbolizes the human struggle against overwhelming mechanical force, where conventional weapons prove inadequate.
