The Defense PostSweden to Co-Finance EU Projects to Boost Critical Ammunition MaterialsSweden has allocated 500 million kronor to co-finance projects with the European Defence Industry Programme Energetic Components initiative, aiming to expand production of critical ammunition inputs like gunpowder and explosives. The funding supports selected companies including EURENCO Bofors, SWEBAL, Norma Precision, Nammo Sweden, and JUNGHANS Microtec in enhancing capacity for propellants, fuzes, and other energetic materials. This move addresses broader NATO supply chain bottlenecks by reducing reliance on imported inputs and encouraging domestic industrial depth through matched government investment.Business InsiderUS Defense Companies Advertising Shotguns, Munitions As Drone KillersAt SOF Week 2025 in Tampa, Florida, US defense companies Kinard Technologies and Benelli Armi showcased counter-drone weapons including specialized shotguns and munitions designed as last-resort defense against increasingly dominant drone threats on the modern battlefield. Kinard's BAOWOLF is a 3D-printed, single-use munition with tungsten shot that attaches to rifles, while Benelli's M4 AI Drone Guardian uses specialized tungsten ammunition developed by Beretta's Swedish subsidiary Norma Precision for optimal range against aerial targets out to 100 meters. Industry executives cite the Ukraine war as a driving force behind rapid counter-drone development, where conflicts have accelerated the adoption of such layered defense systems down to the individual soldier.
