The Rostec State Corporation has confirmed the successful combat use of specialized 12-gauge IGLA cartridges designed to engage mini- and micro-UAVs. According to the company, the ammunition has demonstrated high efficiency even with a single hit, regardless of the structural materials of the drones.
Representatives of Rostec noted that the 12-gauge smoothbore shotgun remains a key element of the last line of defense against drones, where the quality of the ammunition plays a crucial role. According to them, IGLA cartridges ensure guaranteed destruction of the target upon impact due to the special structure of the charge.
The developers paid special attention to ease of use: thanks to the increased hardness and density of the shot, IGLA cartridges reduce the requirements for the shooter's skill level, which is especially important in intense combat conditions.
The IGLA line includes several types of ammunition: IGLA 30, 50, 100, as well as Tracer 50 and Tracer 75 modifications. The main difference between them is the effective range of engagement. Tracer series cartridges are additionally equipped with a tracer element, allowing visual tracking of the shot trajectory — this simplifies aiming adjustments in combat conditions.
