Drones will still fire ammunition presumably?

Are they just producing ammunition types that aren't suitable for drone weaponry or something?

Not this kind, drones don't fire 155mm artillery shells.

Artillery has a relatively short range of ~30km, while modern drones are reaching hundreds of km.

Artillery and drones do different things. An artillery shell costs ~$2k and provides a much bigger bang (and faster speed, totally non-jammable) than a $2k drone (a shahed is ~$20k and much more intercept-able). Drones are 100% useful, but so is artillery.

Drones don't use these types of munitions.
