Russia’s Rostec reports the development of anti-drone series of rounds using three-element bullets in standard small-arms munitions in a new video.
The Mnogotochie (Ellipsis) bullet consists of three stacked elements made from a special bronze-like alloy. “The spin gives them sufficient stability to be compatible with muzzle brakes, unlike shotgun rounds, while the spread increases the chances of hitting and disabling a small FPV drone,” said a press report in the RT channel.
“According to the developer, a Russian producer of precision firearms with expertise in specialized munitions, a 5.45x39mm Mnogotochie round remains effective at ranges of up to 150 meters, while its larger 7.62x54mm version is suited for twice that distance. In the video, rounds of both calibers were tested in single shots and bursts against stationary and moving targets, demonstrating high penetration and a decent rate of dispersion. At 100 meters, Mnogotochie munitions have enough punch to consistently pierce a 25mm layer of wood backed by a 0.8mm steel sheet.
“While series manufacturing has already been launched, the munition is considered still in development and is likely to receive upgrades.”
