US readies new weapon package for Ukraine with special missile systems
Pentagon plans to boost Ukraineʼs defense with a $725M military aid package. The delivery includes advanced counter-drone tech and special rocket system ammo for long-range strikes
The Pentagon is moving forward with a fresh military-aid package for Ukraine‚ putting together equipment worth $725M. This new-wave support focuses on high-tech defense tools that Ukraine needs right now
The soon-to-be-delivered package includes anti-drone equipment and ammo for the high-mobility artillery rocket system (which experts say might be game-changing for Ukraineʼs defense capabilities). Two high-ranking US Defense Department sources who wanted to stay un-named didnt confirm if the package has ATACMS missiles — the long distance strike weapon that Ukraine wants badly
The military support includes these key items:
- Counter-drone defense systems
- HIMARS rocket ammunition
- Various other combat equipment
Ukraineʼs military leaders have been asking for more long-range missiles; these would let them hit targets deeper in enemy territory. The US Government is carefully looking at this request — balancing Ukraineʼs needs with other factors. This aid shows how the US keeps supporting its partner in east Europe
