It's a very heavy, low velocity round (at least in the typical Russian loadings) meant for single-hit takedowns on sentries, dogs, targets behind light cover/barriers, vehicle drivers, that sort of thing, at 200m or less, typically from the VSS Vintorez or VAL rifle. These two weapons replaced the AKMS with PBS-1 suppressor, loaded with GRAU index 57-N-231U subsonic rounds, used for the same function for decades.
The subsonic bullet 7.62x39 bullet is considerably longer (33.62 mm) and heavier (12.5 g) and also has a different, non-layered core structure. The core of its head section was entirely made of tool steel, followed by another section entirely made of lead. The subsonic bullet also has a larger maximum diameter of 7.94 mm compared to all other 7.62×39 bullets that peak at 7.91 mm diameter; the larger diameter of the lead-core section was intended to provide a tighter fit to the barrel by better engaging the rifling grooves and developed a muzzle velocity of about 285–300 m/s. For recognition, this ammo typically has the bullet tips painted black with green band underneath.
If that helps give you an appreciation for the intended application.
People have been asking for this for years but it's not going to catch without an affordable AK unless somebody goes full on AS VAL or VSS lookalike so those guys can LARP. Otherwise it'll just be there with 4.6mm in the collection

9x39 won't catch on here for the same reason .45 GAP and .357 Sig didn't. Police and military don't want them and won't make the switch so there's no reason to manufacture for the public. Most of the other oddball rounds only caught on thanks to hunters and competition shooters and they mostly load their own shit anyway.
