New US military aid package includes much-needed ammunition and weapons systems - Zgurets

He told about this on Espreso.

"Almost every week we announce military aid packages from the US. The new $600 million package is filled with much-needed ammunition for the long-range HIMARS systems. Also included in the package are ammunition for 155 mm guns, a thousand high-precision 155 mm rounds, I think that these are Excalibur projectiles. It is also interesting that both the previous package and the new one contain ammunition for small arms, because they were not provided before. And for the first time, winter uniforms are being handed over, that is, in fact, the rear needs of the Ukrainian army are beginning to be met at the expense of American aid ", the military expert commented.

Serhiy Zgurets noted that the aid package includes four counter-battery radars, which are very important weapons systems, especially in combination with long-range howitzers, which will allow for quick detection of enemy targets and their destruction. And if this happens in combination with Excalibur shells, then there will be a fiery symbiosis that will add new opportunities to the Ukrainian army.

"But we did not see ATACMS and heavy armored vehicles in this package, although a couple of days ago the leader of the Republican minority in the Senate spoke about the need to transfer ATACMS, armored vehicles, and attack drones to Ukraine. I think that this discussion will end with a consensus among the American military elite and we will move to a high-quality level of military assistance in the context of ATACMS. Most likely, the American military believes that 24 launchers and a significant number of projectiles with a range of 80 km allow Ukraine to actively solve tasks on the battlefield, which is actually the case in Kherson region and Kharkiv region." - noted Zgurets.
