Netherlands allocates over $210 million for ammunition for Ukraine ( kyivindependent.com )

Specifically, the country is devoting 150 million euros ($160 million) to Germany's Immediate Action on Air Defence initiative. The Netherlands has also allocated 60 million euros ($64 million) for the purchase of short-range air defense hardware, for example, to combat Russian drones.

Every little bit helps, but I keep waiting for cannon-based anti-air, in the vein of German WW2 flak batteries, to make a comeback.

Seems to me that with some modern targeting tech, would be fabulously effective vs slower moving drones, and much more cost-effective than missiles.
