This marks the seventy-first delivery of equipment from DoD inventories to Ukraine since August 2021. The package aims to address Ukraine’s most critical defense needs, including air defense systems, munitions for rocket and artillery systems, and anti-tank weapons.
The assistance includes:
Munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS)
Stinger missiles
Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (c-UAS) munitions
Ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS)
155mm and 105mm artillery shells
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided (TOW) missiles
Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems
Small arms and ammunition
Demolition equipment and munitions
Equipment to protect critical infrastructure
Spare parts, ancillary equipment, services, training, and transportation
This effort is part of the broader collaboration with over 50 Allies and partners through the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which continues to support Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression.
