Title: From Scatterguns to Sabots: The Evolution of Anti-Drone Ammo
In the wild world of modern warfare, small suicide drones have become the ultimate party crashers. But fear not, because the trusty scattergun has stepped up as the bouncer, ready to show these pesky drones the door. However, toting a shotgun isn’t always feasible, so soldiers have been getting creative with their standard rifles. Enter the Russo-Ukrainian war, where some clever folks started stuffing 5.45×39 ammo with BB pellets and shrink wrap. The results? Mixed, but hey, it’s the thought that counts, right? Apparently, the Russians at Tekhkrim thought so too, because they’ve just rolled out their own 5.45×39 birdshot ammo, complete with a fancy metal discarding sabot. Who knew that taking down drones could be so… explosive?
