The US Department of Defense has announced further arms and ammunition deliveries to Ukraine worth around 775 million dollars (around 772 million euros). Washington wants to provide Ukraine with a “continuous supply of ammunition,” a senior Pentagon official told reporters Friday to recognize.
The now announced delivery should include, among other things, precisely controllable rockets for rocket launchers of the Himars type. The system had already enabled the Ukrainian army in the past few weeks to hit Russian command centers and ammunition depots far behind the front line. Anti-tank guided missiles of the TOW and Javelin types will also be part of the next delivery, as well as anti-radar missiles, surveillance drones and howitzers.
In particular, the demining equipment that Washington will now deliver is intended to help Ukraine “recapture areas”. The Russian air defenses should also be weakened with HARM anti-radar missiles.
