The Netherlands allocates more than €150 million for the purchase of ammunition for Ukrainian F-16s - Ministry of Defense

The funds will be used to purchase air-to-ground ammunition for Ukraine for Ukrainian F-16 aircraft and to purchase drones.

According to the Dutch Ministry of Defense, ammunition will be purchased directly from industry. Defense Minister Kaisa Ollongren announced this after yesterday's meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine's Defense Issues.

In addition, the Netherlands is again sending (from previously promised) F-16 fighters to Romania. The aircraft will be used in a training center for Ukrainian and Romanian pilots. We are talking not only about the aircraft themselves, but also about all the associated spare parts and ammunition.

The Netherlands leads the Ramstein air force coalition along with Denmark and the United States.
