Russia tests anti-drone 'Matryoshka' bullet for AK-47

Russia is testing a multi-part cartridge that splits in flight to engage small drones using standard Kalashnikov rifles. The 5.45mm ammunition separates into multiple projectiles, targeting drone batteries and electronics. Military expert Yury Knutov confirmed trials showed components reaching critical drone parts. Designed for troops without specialized counter-drone weapons, it requires further combat validation. The concept resembles a Matryoshka doll, with nested elements contained in one round.
