More than 60 Bradleys departed from US to Ukraine - Pentagon

The United States announced the shipment of the first batch of Bradley infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine

This was reported by the US Transportation Command.

The report says that a batch of more than 60 Bradleys set sail from the shores of North Charleston (South Carolina) to Ukraine.

The Bradley shipment "will provide the Ukrainian forces with additional offensive and defensive capabilities to protect their borders against Russia’s illegal invasion."

"The situation in Ukraine really brought to the forefront the importance of logistics and the complexity of power projection and sustainment. Our support to Ukraine would not be possible without the strong relationships we have with our Allies and Partners that provided the access, basing, and overflight to facilitate the delivery of aid," said Air Force General Jacqueline Van Ovost, commander of USTRANSCOM, in an interview with Joint Force Quarterly.
