These are projectiles for defeating Russian manpower at a distance of up to 4.5 kilometers. The state concern assures that the new projectiles are better than those used until now.
“The number of deadly shrapnel recorded during tests on target shields and on the site of the target setting is 2-2.5 times greater than what a standard mine should have. The size and shape of the shrapnel are also better than the standard ones,” the state concern “Ukroboronprom” emphasized.
Neither the volumes nor the terms of the first deliveries of new mines to the troops are reported. However, “Ukroboronprom” noted that the production of ammunition was established outside of Ukraine – in one of the NATO countries.
