Denmark will provide Ukraine with a new military assistance package worth approximately $718 million, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen announced following a meeting of the country’s Foreign Policy Committee, DR reported on November 10.

The package will be Denmark’s 32nd tranche of defense assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war.

According to Rasmussen, the funding will be directed toward priority defense projects intended to strengthen the capabilities of Ukraine’s Defense Forces in the near term.

Denmark has become one of Ukraine’s most active military supporters, supplying equipment, ammunition, and funding for a range of defense programs.

The latest package follows Denmark’s transfer of more than 50,000 rounds of 20mm ammunition for the onboard guns of Ukraine’s F-16 fighter jets.

Ukrainian pilots have been using those cannon rounds during air-defense missions, including interceptions of Russian attack drones, allowing them to preserve more expensive air-to-air missiles for higher-priority aerial threats.

Earlier, reports emerged that Ukrainian F-16 fighters destroyed roughly 1,100 Russian attack drones in October alone, while one pilot set a new single-sortie record by shooting down nine UAVs using only the jet’s 20mm M61A1 Vulcan cannon.

After landing, he still had 80 rounds remaining.
