US to Give Ukraine Anti Radar Missiles to Wade of Russian Invasion
The Ukrainian military’s push to “hollow out” invading Russian forces and retake territory will soon get a boost in the form of a new $775 million security aid package from the United States.
The Pentagon Friday confirmed it was readying the package — the 19th from the U.S. in the past year — complete with more ammunition for Ukraine’s 16 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), anti-armor systems and rounds, anti-radar missiles and mine-clearing capabilities.
“These are capabilities that are enhancing the Ukrainians’ mobility as they look at this very challenging environment in southern Ukraine in particular,” a senior defense official told reporters on the condition of anonymity, under ground rules established by the Pentagon.
“This continues our tradition of providing the Ukrainians what they need when they need it,” the official said, adding, “This isn’t the end.”
