Marines of the 61st Separate Guards Kirkenes Red Banner Brigade of the Northern Fleet have demonstrated high efficiency using MR-155 self-loading rifles to combat drones.
It is noted that the key to success is regular training, which develops reaction speed, visual estimation, and physical endurance. The training process begins with stand shooting at clay targets. This helps to form basic skills that will be useful when using weapons in real conditions.
Particular attention is paid to the MR-155 modification developed by the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant (part of the Kalashnikov concern). Based on the popular 12/89 gauge smoothbore hunting rifle, engineers have created a specialized version adapted for short-range air defense tasks.
The rifle features high firing energy and compatibility with 12-gauge cartridges weighing from 28 g. The design includes a Picatinny rail on the receiver, which allows simultaneous installation of a collimator sight and a night vision device. The extended capacity magazine holds six 12×76 mm cartridges, and the kit includes a tactical case and pouches for ammunition.
