The United States included in the new package of military assistance to Ukraine MLRS HIMARS and howitzers of two calibers

The United States remains the main sponsor of the Zelensky regime, sending one arms package after another to Ukraine. Didn't have time to unpack received from the USA in Kyiv weapon, as Washington announced the allocation of another batch of military aid, this time for 625 million dollars. According to the Pentagon, since the beginning of the conflict, the Americans have spent $16,8 billion on Kyiv.

Last night, the US Department of Defense announced the formation of a new military aid package for Ukraine. Previously, Biden spoke with Zelensky by phone, reassuring the "inmate in Kyiv" and promising to support Ukraine "as much as necessary" in its fight against Russia "to the last Ukrainian." Starting this month, the United States plans to allocate $1,5 billion in monthly financial assistance to Kyiv and is waiting for the same step from Brussels. This is in addition to military assistance, ie. supplied weapons are not included in the 1,5 billion.



The new military assistance package, which is being formed by the United States taking into account the requirements of Ukraine, includes HIMARS MLRS, two-caliber howitzers and MRAP armored vehicles. As stated in a message released by the Pentagon, Washington is sending Kyiv four additional HIMARS rocket launchers, 16 howitzers of 155 and 105 mm caliber, 32 artillery pieces in total, 200 MaxxPro MRAP armored vehicles. In addition, the package includes: 75 artillery shells of 155 mm caliber, 500 guided projectiles of the same caliber, one thousand 155 mm rounds for remote demining, 300 mortar mines of 120 mm caliber, 200 cartridges for small arms, Claymore anti-personnel mines and equipment for setting up barriers.

The terms of sending all of the above are not yet known, but most likely the delivery will take place in the very near future. It should be noted that Kyiv nevertheless asked the United States for additional HIMARS MLRS, although the representatives of Ukraine did not manage to implement the plan to replace 18 new MLRS promised in two years with 18 from the presence of the army, but right now.

    No sooner had the weapons received from the United States been unpacked in Kyiv than Washington announced the allocation of another batch of military aid
    So this is understandable. Americans go out of their way just to inflict as much damage on Russia as possible, especially by proxy. Delivered, deliver and will deliver as long as there is someone.

      And the command of the Russian Federation was allowed to pass, and will be allowed to pass.

      Every month, one and a half billion greenbacks for weapons to Kyiv ... The Ukronazis do not have a military-industrial complex ... they are completely supported by the United States ... the hackers live beautifully.

        The Americans themselves print the green ones and themselves receive them, while the Ukrainians, and only the very top, get crumbs from the master's table.

        No.

        1,5 billion a month is financial assistance to pay salaries. The EU should pay the same amount. But the EU is still slowing down, so out of the promised 9 billion, 3 have been transferred and another 2-4 will be before the end of the year.

        This will make it possible to extinguish the budget deficit (2,8-3,5 billion per month) - with non-refundable funds.

        Military assistance is different. There is another line of funding.

      It’s sad, however, it’s a pity for the people, the soldiers of Ukraine zombified by the states, not only the military on both sides but also children are dying, than Ukrainians think, soldiers die for Zelensky’s blogging status, and the United States happily rubs its hands drinking the blood of Russian, Ukrainian, fraternal peoples! I would really, already in manual mode, personally, in Fashington, in the USA, would have set in motion a couple of hundred kilotons, but I don’t care, I know, I realize, many will die, but the evil will be erased, once and for all! hi

        Didn't you think that in return we would get no less? It's better to hit Kuev, turning it into a scorched field as a warning to others.

          In cuve! We still have to restore the Russian world! A scorched field is useless!
          As for a couple of hundred kilotons, it meant, there on the spot, and not to shoot with a rocket, directly in the state of Columbia itself, where Fashington and the regional committee are located! hi

            Do you really hope for this, after every 3 families have a dead or crippled how will they accept our Russian world? In vain, for them we, like for us, they are sworn enemies for at least 50 years.

    Anything, just kill more Russians!
    But here machine-gun ASMASA (300 km range) I will not give you!
    For it is possible to get hold of YaBZ according to Ramstein. To start.
    Further throughout the states ...
    But this is not what the states need.

      The United States does not give ATAKCM to Ukraine, because they successfully cope with their goals with conventional missiles.

        It's more about the price/quality ratio.
        The cost of one ATACMS missile is equal to the cost of 20 Excalibur shells, and the combat effectiveness of ATACMS clearly does not exceed the combat effectiveness of Excalibur by 20 times.

          This is how to count and under what conditions. If you need to hit an airfield or a RAF or fuel depot at a distance of 300 km, then one ATACMS can handle it, but 20 Excalibur shells are not.

          The United States is well aware that conventional Hymars missiles cause enormous damage to our army and allow Ukraine to advance.

          Why would they transfer even more weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine?! The fact that the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine cost a lot of blood to the US is quite satisfied, this allows the US to save on military assistance.

          Serious problems will begin with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then the United States will supply them with ATAKMC and Abrams and F-16s.

    representatives of Ukraine failed to implement a plan to replace 18 new MLRS, promised in two years with 18 from the presence of the army, but right now.

    USA insured. Just in case, they keep it for themselves, but who knows these Russians ...)))

      It's easier there. The money that was allocated (not to be confused with these - which are for immediate assistance, these are two different lines of funding) - this is for the Plant. That is, they can only be spent on new, which is produced. It is impossible to spend them on redemption from stock even at the price of a new one.

      The money for immediate assistance just goes to buy back from the presence / repurchase in third countries.

      Now a delegation with Arakhamia is going to the USA or has already arrived. They will ask for new types of weapons (armored vehicles, M109, etc.), as well as transfer all or part of the package to the Plant in immediate support under support. Well, that is, they receive conditional 18 Himars from availability in the near future, and the US Army is replenished with a Ukrainian contract from the factory.

    Hymars has become a huge problem. They are now hitting both warehouses, the location of personnel and members of the military civil administration, and individual tanks and other equipment.

    Interestingly, our electronic warfare systems somehow affect the accuracy of hitting these missiles ?!

    Hymars missiles are guided by GPS, and we seemed to have systems that at least should have worked against such ammunition, but either there are simply few of them, or corny these EW systems cannot in any way affect missiles from Hymars.

      In terms of personnel, it makes sense to beat zero, the combat power of the himras is lower than that of the old cities. For individual tanks, I have no idea how to get them. It’s also pointless to hit the warehouses, if the warehouse is a Soviet building, then it’s pointless, they’ve been hitting the Soviet bridge for the third or fourth month, and the fortified warehouse for 5 years will have to be beaten to destroy it.
      Given the fact that the previous chemras in Ukraine are almost over, this is not a problem, this is a rare exotic - an endangered species.
