US Boosts Military Support for Ukraine with Ammunition and Missiles

The Biden administration plans to send $325 million in additional military aid for Ukraine, primarily focused on boosting Ukraine’s inventories of munitions and anti-armor capabilities, as Kyiv stockpiles weapons in preparation for a widely anticipated spring offensive. The package includes additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds, tube-launched, optically-tracked wire-guided missiles for the U.S.-provided Bradley armored fighting vehicles, AT-4 anti-armor weapon systems, anti-tank mines, demolition munitions for obstacle clearing, over 9 million rounds of small arms ammunition, four logistics support vehicles, and precision aerial munitions.

Ukraine Bolsters Air Defense with Arrival of Patriot Systems Amid Russian Aggression.

Patriot missile defense systems from the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands have arrived in Ukraine to help defend against Russian airstrikes. Ukrainian troops have been training on the systems in recent months and are almost ready to use them in battle. The delivery marks the end of Ukraine's lengthy effort to secure the defense systems, which were requested by the country's defense minister two years ago.

Pentagon expedites delivery of tanks and Patriot systems to Ukraine.

The Pentagon will expedite the delivery of Abrams tanks and Patriot missile defense systems to Ukraine, with the older model of the tanks being sent to the country by this fall instead of the newer version, which would have taken over a year to build and ship. The refurbished tanks will still have advanced armor and weapons systems, including a 120 mm cannon and .50-caliber heavy machine gun. The delivery comes ahead of Ukraine's planned spring offensive against Russian forces.

US expedites delivery of tanks and missile systems to Ukraine.

The US is set to deploy Patriot missile defense systems and Abrams tanks to Ukraine faster than originally planned, with 65 Ukrainian soldiers completing their training on the systems at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in the coming days. The decision to speed up the delivery of tanks and Patriots comes as Ukraine is preparing to launch a spring offensive against Russian forces, built largely around the more powerful and more advanced systems Western countries have agreed to send, including tanks and other armored vehicles.
