The Norwegian-Finnish company Nammo has been supplying Ukraine with anti-tank ammunition for drones for a long time, without announcing their transfer. As the PromPolitInform portal informs, this was reported on Saturday, June 27, by Defence Express with reference to the Janes material.
According to the publication, the Defense Forces are actively using the new N7 drone ammunition manufactured by Nammo on the battlefield. However, it turned out that the company began supplying these shells to Ukraine much earlier than expected.
During a conversation with Janes journalists during the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris, Nammo representatives showed a video in which an N7 munition was dropped from a Ukrainian drone on a Russian Grad MLRS. It is noted that as a result of the impact, the engine of the Russian missile system was triggered, which pierced the driver’s cabin and caused the truck to explode.
According to company representatives, the video was shot in early 2025.
“The first mention of this munition dates back only to May 2025, when it was shown during the SOF Week 2025 exhibition in the USA. But in general, it should be noted that the supply of N7 to Ukraine, it turns out, took place even before the public presentation,” writes Defence Express.
During the exhibition, Nammo representatives announced a “six-digit number” of N7 munitions delivered.
Note that N7 is a cumulative ammunition capable of penetrating up to 450 mm of rolled homogeneous armor. The weight of the ammunition is 1.5 kg. N7 can be used as a warhead for an FPV drone, or dropped from a UAV.
A feature of the ammunition is an electronic fuse specially adapted for use from drones. It allows you to transfer the warhead to a safe mode on command from the operator – thanks to this, the drone can be safely returned if the targets are not detected.
