The High Precision Systems Holding Company, a part of the Russian state-owned tech corporation Rostec, has developed and produced initial batches of the SC 226 and SC 228 “Mnogotochie” multi-bullet rounds.
In a statement released on January 22, Rostec said that the new ammunition significantly boosts the effectiveness of standard small arms fire against small drones.
“Mnogotochie ammunition was developed considering the realities of modern combat, where miniature drones have become one of the main threats to soldiers. Experience shows that small arms are an effective means of defense against UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). The new multi-bullet ammunition enhances this effectiveness 2.5 times at ranges of up to 300 meters compared to standard cartridges. They have already undergone operational testing in the special military operation zone and have proven themselves effective against small and highly maneuverable aerial targets,” Rostec Arms Cluster Industrial Director, member of the Union of Russian Machine-Building Enterprises Bekkhan Ozdoyev said in the statement.
Rostec specified that the 5.45×39 mm caliber CT 226 and 7.62×54 mm caliber CT 228 cartridges contain a three-element bullet that disintegrates in flight.
“The standard cartridge case and standard propellant powder are used, which simplifies serial production of the Mnogotochie at ammunition industry enterprises. Thanks to the design, all three elements are evenly separated upon exiting the barrel, improving firing accuracy and substantially increasing the probability of hitting small targets,” the corporation noted.
It added that small arms’ performance characteristics remain unchanged when using the Mnogotochie, eliminating the need for modifications or installation of attachments. The cartridge can also be fired with a silencer installed.
Rostec also shared a video showing a successful test of the new ammunition. Footage showing another test surfaced online later.
It’s worth noting that last year Rostec presented the “Igla” anti-drone cartridges especially designed for 12 gauge shotguns.
As Kiev forces expanded the use of small drones, espicaly first-person view suicide quadcopters, in the special military operation zone over the past year, Russian troops began to use assault rifles and shotguns as a last line of defense. Specialized ammunition like the Mnogotochie and Igla will give the troops a much better chance of taking down such drones.

10 gauge semi-auto shotguns would be better, but i guess there aren’t enough russian men big enough to handle such a weapon.
as i remember, harry macfie had one of those. able to shoot goose across öresund 😂 it was of course not semi-auto. astrid bergman could handle .465 holland & holland, only there was a tiger 🐯 in front of her. i think the russians will manage.
