Volunteers are involved in the production of kamikaze drones, drop devices for quadcopters, and other equipment. The new munition is reported to have a mechanical nose pin. The diameter of the hull is 63mm and the weight in a fully assembled form is 800 g.

"Handed out some [ammunition] to the guys for combat tests. We are waiting for feedback," the developers said.
