NATO Military Committee Chairman Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone has requested 20mm caliber ammunition from Alliance member countries to aid Ukraine in countering Russian jet-powered drones. The admiral made this appeal in an interview with Ukrinform. The NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) new commander informed Dragone of the efficacy and affordability of 20mm ammunition during a recent meeting.
Dragone has already approached various nations to determine how much 20mm ammunition they can promptly supply to Ukraine. Some countries have already begun providing this ammunition. The chairman anticipates additional deliveries from allies in the near future and has committed to expediting the process, as he believes 20mm ammunition is both cost-effective and potent.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously stated that F-16 fighter jets require 5,000-6,000 rounds of 20mm ammunition daily to effectively neutralize jet-powered drones.
