In the battles for the city of Maryinka, the DPR People's Militia fighters eliminated a Ukrainian sniper armed with the latest UKROP UAR-10 rifle.

When shooting, the National Guard militant used "dum-dum" ammunition prohibited by the international convention.

When examining the place of the clash, in addition to the rifle, 7.62 x 51mm caliber cartridges with expansive bullets were found.

According to the representative of the NM DNR Oleg Nikitin, these bullets "unfold" when they hit the target. "Dum-dum" bullets are designed for hunting large animals - elk or deer (weighing 150-300 kilograms), and cause severe injuries in humans even when they hit the limbs.

"These cartridges are prohibited for use," the representative of the DPR said.

Recall that the UAR-10 semi-automatic sniper rifle was developed on the basis of the American AR-10 rifle. The weapon was created under the NATO 7.62 x 51 mm cartridge and is intended to replace Soviet SVD rifles in the units of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.

The UR-10 rifle is equipped with a chrome-plated barrel with a resource of up to 7000 shots. The declared range of aimed fire is 1200 meters, the rate of fire is 21 rounds per minute.

The length of the rifle ranges from 103 to 124 centimeters, the weight is about five kilograms.
