The Ministry of Defense in Ukraine has announced that since the beginning of 2024, they have authorized around 70 samples of ammunition for drones to be used by the Ukrainian Defense Forces. This information was reported by the defense ministry. In July alone, approximately 20 new UAV ammunition samples were codified, including high-explosive, HEAT, combined-action, and multipurpose munitions. The weight of these ammunition samples ranges from several hundred grams to several kilograms.

The Ukrainian military utilizes these drone ammunitions to target the equipment, fortifications, and manpower of the Russian invaders. They are often used to combat the invaders’ manpower, whether they are located in the open or inside buried shelters, fortifications, or military equipment. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry underlines the growing significance of unmanned aerial systems on the battlefield and highlights the dynamic response of the domestic defense industry in meeting the army’s needs by increasing the production of various types and purposes of UAVs. Additionally, new models of drones are being actively developed, accompanied by the expansion of ammunition range for different types of drones.
