Tanks, armored personnel carriers, drones: US announces new USD 400 million aid package for Ukraine

This is stated by the US Department of Defense.

The statement says that the US will provide USD 400 million in military aid to Ukraine. The new package will include T-72 tanks.

The US and the Netherlands will jointly pay for the restoration of 90 T-72 tanks that are stored in the Czech Republic. Part of them will be transferred to Ukraine by the end of this year, and the rest - the next year.

The department also announced the allocation of funds for the modernization of HAWK air defense missiles. This is necessary to include missiles in future aid packages.

The funding for the refurbishment of HAWK missiles will complement Spain's recent commitment of HAWK launchers to help Ukraine counter the threat.

In addition, the US will send 40 armored boats, 1,100 Phoenix Ghost drones, and will allocate funds to refurbish 250 M1117 armored security vehicles.
