This was reported by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
In particular, about 20 new ammunition for drones were approved for use in July 2024.
The new samples include high-explosive, cumulative, combined-action and multi-purpose munitions. In addition, they vary in weight: from several hundred grams to more than several kilograms.
The Ministry of Defense adds that ammunition for UAVs is used to destroy enemy equipment, fortifications and manpower in the open and in specially equipped hideouts, fortifications or inside military equipment.
"The role of unmanned aerial systems on the battlefield is growing. The domestic defense industry sector dynamically responds to the needs of the army and increases the production of UAVs of various types and purposes, actively develops new models of drones, and expands the range of ammunition for various types of UAVs," the Ministry added.
