US sends $325-M military aid package to Ukraine

WASHINGTON, D.C.: The Pentagon will deliver to Ukraine a new package of military aid worth $325 million and will include a wide range of rockets, missiles and other munitions aimed at bolstering the country's counteroffensive against Russia, the State Department said on Tuesday.

The aid will include missiles for what are considered critical air defense systems — the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (Nasam) and the High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System (Himars), as well as Stingers and Javelin missiles and more than two dozen Bradley and Stryker armored fighting vehicles.
