The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine is expanding the production of anti-drone ammunition to support Ukrainian defenders. The rounds, produced by several Ukrainian manufacturers, have now been codified by the ministry and are ready for serial output.

 

Minister of Defence of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said: “With anti-drone ammunition, Ukrainian service members will be able to counter enemy FPV and Mavic drones more effectively. This ammunition features a specialized charge that greatly increases the likelihood of downing a russian drone.” He noted that the rounds work with standard weapons and do not require dedicated systems.
