Why It Matters
Earlier, in January, the state corporation announced the start of deliveries of Igla 100 anti-drone cartridges to the Russian Armed Forces.
A completely Russian Igla rifle complex with five types of cartridges has been created, which will replace foreign analogues. The state corporation Rostec reported this on Telegram.
According to hunting weapons expert Evgeniy Spiridonov, the design proposed by the state-owned company was largely the result of sanctions. “Before the sanctions, we did not have mass production of stainless steel barrels. We can safely say that if we talk about the true spirit of import substitution, then this is it. When we did even better than before,” the specialist said.
In January, the state corporation reported that the Russian Armed Forces began receiving super-hard anti-drone cartridges Igla 100, which show the best results in the fight against mini-drones.
