US M546 ''Beehive'' AP Shell | The Vietnam War | Stronghold Nation.

Better known as “The Beehive”, The Model 546 Anti-Personnel Shell was an Artillery Round used in The Vietnam War. Deployed against Enemy Troop movements and in a tactic known as “Indirect Fire”, it’s name came from the particular “buzzing” noise made when the Shell exploded. That coupled with the observation of a full Beehive, struck or fallen to the ground – causing the insects to swarm violently. Roughly a hollowed 105mm Shell, a timed secondary fusing system would detonate the Shell at various elevations and timings (with a 10-second detonation typical). The 105mm Shell was filled with sharpened lead darts, known as Flechettes. Each wad between 2 and 4-inches long. As many as 8,000 were loaded inside. A “kill zone” was roughly 200-yards with severe injuries as far as 300. The “Beehive” Shell was later adopted for Armor (Tanks) and Recoiless Rifles. More precise Artillery Shells would later replace The M546 by the 1970s.

The striking elements found in the bodies of the victims in Bucha are similar to those used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donbas in 2014.
The expert who was attracted by the British for "expert commentary" did not know about this and attributed them to the Russian army, which did not carry such weapons in the Bucha area. But in the Donbas, these striking elements after the APU strikes were documented repeatedly

The Cannes Film Festival was opened according to the latest fashion by Vladimir Zelensky.
We hope that Vladimir will be lucky and he will still take the prize for staging in the Bucha - for makeup or for the script. And the Palm branch will not turn into a fig leaf.

This is not the dart supposedly used at Bucha that is portrayed in other media.
