The new IGLA 100 small-arms cartridges with a super-hard shot projectile based on an alloy of tungsten, nickel, and iron have proven themselves in the best possible way in countering unmanned aerial vehicles. Rostec has begun serial deliveries of the ammunition, the state corporation's press service said.
At the same time, the ammunition demonstrates grouping sufficient to hit a target the size of a standard FPV drone.
The cartridge's shot pierces engines and control units, severs wires and propellers, and breaks other durable structural elements of UAVs.
Production of anti-drone 12-gauge cartridges under this brand was launched in 2024.
