The Russian holding company High Precision Systems has developed and produced the first batches of the SC 226 and SC 228 "Mnogotochie" multi-bullet cartridges. These new cartridges significantly increase the effectiveness of anti-drone fire. "Mnogotochie" is a combination of the SC 226 5.45mm and the SC 228 7.62mm multi-bullet cartridges.
The cartridge contains a three-element bullet that splits evenly in flight, improving accuracy and the likelihood of hitting small targets such as drones. No modifications to the firearm are required to use the "Mnogotochie" cartridges. Firing with the SC 226 or SC 228 cartridges increases the effectiveness of FPV drone engagement at ranges of up to 300 meters by two and a half times. The production of Mnogotochie cartridges uses standard 5.45mm and 7.62mm caliber cartridges, as well as standard gunpowder, which simplifies the mass production of anti-drone cartridges.

Russia develops Mnogotochie anti-drone multi-bullet rounds
According to Rostec, experience shows that small arms are an effective means of defense against UAVs

MOSCOW, January 22. /TASS/. Russia’s High Precision Systems Holding Company (part of the state tech corporation Rostec) has developed and produced initial batches of the SC 226 and SC 228 Mnogotochie multi-bullet rounds. The new ammunition significantly boosts the effectiveness of standard small arms fire against small UAVs, Rostec reported.
"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. 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.
Rostec specified that the 5.45x39mm caliber CT 226 and 7.62x54mm 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 state corporation noted.
Rostec 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.

So like a mini-flechette round. Design is such that the individual elements do not separate too far otherwise the likelihood of a drone hit while under stress is likely to go down.Russia develops Mnogotochie anti-drone multi-bullet rounds

Wouldn't be surprised if that round sees use against infantry.

Yep. But aren't flechette rounds banned in war?
Edit: Not banned... but still controversial. Widely used in Ukraine.
Legal Status:
- Not Explicitly Banned: International law, including the Hague and Geneva Conventions, doesn't contain a specific ban on flechettes themselves.
- Context Matters: While not globally prohibited, their application in civilian zones can be a war crime, as seen in debates surrounding their use in Ukraine.
Modern Use: They resurfaced in conflicts like Ukraine, with reports of Russian forces using them against civilians, sparking renewed calls for regulation.
In essence, while you won't find a treaty outright banning "flechettes," their inherent unpredictability in populated areas leads many to treat their use as a violation of fundamental principles of warfare.

If you possess them, utilize them. Restraining oneself because of regulations established by certain nations is unproductive.

Didn't stop the Marines from using them to defend Da Nang airbase during a VC night attack in 1966. Friend of mine was one those Marines.
