Ukrainian fighters showed what the occupiers fill shells with

The Russians are killing Ukrainians, including with the striking elements of the First World War. This is stated in the Telegram channel Tsaplienko.

These are flechettes, arrow-shaped darts the size of a pencil. They were found in a shell that hit our defenders in Maryinka,” the journalist explained.

He said that such "shooters" looked like the first airplanes to the accumulation of infantry or cavalry. Good aerodynamics and speed made them a devastating weapon that pierced 15 cm boards simply by free fall.

Then they began to lay them in cartridges for small arms, for example, in 12 gauge.

The fact that Russia uses flechettes in artillery was first discovered by Ukrainians after Bucha.

In mass graves, in the bodies of some people who died there, metal darts were found. But now in the hands of our fighters a whole projectile with flechettes. The same ones that were found in Bucha, - said Tsaplienko.
