“Recently, one of the specialists managed to hit two enemy armored fighting vehicles with a rifle of the previous generation OSV-96 and during a firefight up to 20 targets of enemy manpower from one kilometer, seven hundred meters,” said the source of the agency.
It should be noted that the OSV-96 is the predecessor of the latest Astarta rifle.
It was previously reported that the MTs-572 Astarta rifle showed unique accuracy during the test. According to Vitaly Bulgakov, managing director of the KBP JSC (part of the Rostec high-precision complexes), Vitaly Bulgakov, from a distance of 100 meters, the rifle placed a group of five shots in a circle of 1.5 cm. In terms of accuracy, Astarta outperformed the American Barrett M82 rifle four times, for which this indicator is 6 cm.
