MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/. An antidrone ammunition reloading kit called "Antidronin" has been developed in Russia, the Izvestia newspaper reports.
According to the publication, the newly developed kit is designed to modify ammunition. It aims to increase the effectiveness of small arms against drones, allowing military personnel to engage them without the need for additional smoothbore weapons.
The project coordinator, who goes by the call sign Korsar, stated that the modified ammunition has already been used in Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine.
"The guys set up an all-around defense and, using Antidronin rounds in their standard-issue assault rifles, shot down 35 drones. Afterward, they managed to exit the danger zone without suffering any losses," he told the newspaper.
According to Izvestia, the development was tested by a Russian Defense Ministry organization. Furthermore, one Russian military unit reported a 53% increase in the effectiveness of engaging small-sized drones following three months of using the product.
