The capabilities in this much-needed package, valued at up to $250 million, include:
- Additional munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);
- Stinger anti-aircraft missiles;
- Air defense system components;
- Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
- 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds;
- Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;
- Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems;
- More than 15 million rounds of small arms ammunition;
- Demolitions munitions for obstacle clearing;
- Spare parts, medical equipment, maintenance, and other ancillary equipment.
Doesn’t seem like theres any actual money included
The artillery rounds are the main thing needed in any case.
I’m surprised we still have Stinger missiles to give. I was hearing reports that our stockpiles of those are pretty bad.
Yeah I think its an important distinction to make though considering the US can definitely use that kind of money, and it might hurt to be struggling in the US and read that the government is giving away money. With weapons though, it doesn’t even feel like we’re giving anything away. Ukraine is fighting our enemy for us.
