Russia Develops Bullet That Splits Into Three Mid-Flight to Hit Drones

As drones continue to reshape the battlefield, Russia is introducing a new countermeasure: an anti-drone round that splits into three projectiles after firing to widen its engagement area.

Known as Mnogotochie, the ammunition is available in 5.45mm and 7.62mm calibers, making it compatible with standard Russian rifles and machine guns.
