The first batches of multi-bullet "Mnogotochie" rounds, developed by Rostec's High-Precision Systems holding company for countering mini-drones, have been delivered to the Russian troops, the developer of this ammunition announced.
"Production has already begun. Serial production is already underway. The first individual pilot batches are already in service," said one of the cartridge's developers in a video for the "Our Crash" project, published on Rostec's Telegram channel.
According to him, the multi-bullet anti-drone round can shoot down drones at ranges of up to 300 meters, depending on the caliber. The rounds are standardized with the standard rounds for automatic weapons currently in service with the Russian Armed Forces.
