The United States is again dipping into its own supply of military hardware to ship $400 million worth of security assistance to Ukraine for its war against Russian invaders.
It is the 15th U.S. drawdown of weapons and other military hardware for sending to Kyiv since August 2021.
The U.S. has committed about $8 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the start of the Biden administration, Pentagon officials said Friday when they announced the latest aid package.
So far, the U.S. has provided Ukraine with 12 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and ammo; 126 155mm M-777 howitzers and more than 400,000 rounds; 20 Soviet-era Mi-17 helicopters; more than 6,500 Javelin anti-armor missiles; and more than 700 Switchblade tactical unmanned aerial systems.
