"Deadly threat": what Russian ammunition have flashts

Fleshts are small metal darts, thousands of which are inside the ammunition. The Russian Federation has tank, aviation and artillery shells with flasht. During the fighting, the Russian army uses various ammunition that are crammed with flasht. The variety of ammunition is very large: from artsnings to plane. About it reports the Armyinform. Flasheta is a small metal arrow. It is the purpose for the defeat of the living force. For the first time, flakes appeared in France during the First World War.

They were dumped from the airplanes directly to the accumulation of the enemy. They could have pierced several centimeter wooden boards and caused significant damage to the military. Now more sophisticated developments have Russian invaders. Surgeon Igor Belkin says that they from time to time work with wounded fighters who suffered from flasht. "I cannot say that flasht wounds are radically different from fragmentation or cassette.

The flakes have a sufficiently significant penetrating ability at the expense of a small area, but less devastating effect due to a small mass," says Igor. The best protection against flasht will be shelter, but if it is not, you should always wear a bulletproof vest and helmet. The use of flasht is forbidden to be used in areas where the civilian population lives because of the non -selective action.

However, the invaders do not stop it and they use such ammunition for shelling of Ukrainian cities and towns, journalists write. According to the publication, most often the occupiers use artillery ammunition of the caliber 122-mm 3sh1 "Lepstok-1" and 152-mm 3sh2 "Lepesttok-2". Each ammunition has 7 or 9 thousand flasht respectively. Usually the projectile works in the air with the help of a blast. There is also an ammunition for Raven and Ainet tanks 125mm caliber.

One projectile contains 4700 elements, each of which has a size of 3-4 centimeters. During the shot, the flight speed reaches up to 900 meters per second, which makes the flakes a serious threat. In addition, there are aviation missiles for aviation. In particular, the C-5C rocket is 57 mm. It has more than 1000 flasht. The ammunition itself is quite old, but they can still be used by the Russian Armed Forces. The newer rocket is the 80mm C-8C. The lesion area is 2600 square meters.
