A report released on December 9 states that the development of a new generation of Russian homing ammunition for sniper rifles was postponed indefinitely for technological reasons.
Meanwhile, the Russian news agency TASS in 2016 reported that the Russian Fund for Advanced Studies (FPI) began testing the “smart bullet”.
Later Sergei Abramov, director of the cluster of conventional weapons, ammunition and special chemistry Rostec, said that together with the laboratory FPI and the Central Scientific Research Institute of Precision Engineering (TSNIITOCHMASH) is developing smart bullets. It was planned that experimental samples will be released in the twenties.
