Ukraine now has new ammunition designed to counter drones using standard rifles, Forbes reports. The 5.56mm NATO round breaks into five high-speed pellets on firing, creating a shotgun-like spread that’s effective against drones up to 50 meters away. Troops can quickly switch mags and engage without heavy weapons.

Facts About Ukraine’s Position in the War 🇺🇦 1. Ukraine continues to defend over 1,000 km of front lines against Russian forces, focusing recently on holding key areas like Chasiv Yar and Kharkiv region. 2. Heavily reliant on Western military aid—tanks, air defenses, drones, and now F-16 jets expected by late 2025. 3. Despite major losses, Ukraine’s forces have adapted with small drone strikes and long-range missile hits deep into Russian territory. 4. The economy has shrunk by about a third since 2022, yet Kyiv maintains core infrastructure and government functions with international loans. 5. Political unity remains high, though concerns grow about manpower shortages and delayed Western weapons deliveries.
