The new package of military aid to Ukraine from the United States will include additional air defense assets, artillery ammunition and anti-tank weapons.
As reported on the Pentagon website, since August 2021, this is the fifty-third package of equipment that the Biden administration has provided to Ukraine from the Department of Defense stockpile. It will include:
AIM-9M missiles for air defense;
air defense system components;
additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
155 mm and 105 mm artillery shells;
high-velocity anti-radar missiles (HARM);
optically tracked (TOW) missiles;
Javelin and AT-4 anti-tank systems;
more than 4 million small arms ammunition;
ammunition for clearing obstacles;
equipment to protect critical national infrastructure;
spare parts, generators, maintenance and other auxiliary equipment.
The Pentagon once again called on Congress to quickly approve President Joe Biden's additional request for assistance to Ukraine. "Security assistance to Ukraine remains a smart investment in our national security. It deters potential aggression in other parts of the world while strengthening our defense industrial base and creating high-skill jobs for the American people," they added.
