Physicist and military specialist Alexander Shirokorad said that any smartphone can be blown up.
He gave the example of Hezbollah members' pagers exploding by the thousands at once.
The expert noted in a conversation with NEWS.ru that this is a very scary weapon.
Shirokorad explained that there could be a fuse in the batteries of gadgets.
This fuse is capable of short-circuiting the battery, making the device dangerous and capable of detonating at any time.
According to the expert, the presence of a detonator makes any device a dangerous weapon.
Shirokorad said that a car, computer, iPhone or mobile phone could explode in this way.
An expert has warned of serious consequences if electronic devices begin to explode on airplane passengers during flight.
