The U.S. Department of Defense announces an additional $425 million defense and assistance package for Ukraine.
This package is the Biden Administration’s sixty-ninth tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.
The package will include air defense systems, munitions for rocket systems and artillery, armored vehicles and anti-tank weapons.
The capabilities in this announcement include:
“The United States will continue to work together with some 50 Allies and partners through the Ukraine Defense Contact Group and its associated Capability Coalitions to meet Ukraine’s urgently needed battlefield requirements and defend against Russian aggression,” the statement said.
It is worth noting the transfer of Stryker armored personnel carriers, which are actively used by Ukrainian paratroopers in the Kursk oblast.
These vehicles are used to transport personnel to the front line.
Stryker wheeled armored fighting vehicles’ family is developed and manufactured by the U.S. company General Dynamics Land Systems.
In its basic version, Stryker armored fighting vehicles were accepted to service with the U.S.
The United States also traditionally provides an aid package that strengthens Ukraine’s air defense by transferring a missile to NASAMS.
In May, it became known that the Ukrainian military received the latest version of NASAMS 3 systems, which can use new AIM-9X missiles.
In June, the United States elevated Ukraine as a priority recipient of anti-aircraft missiles for air defense systems.
