The US DoD said Tuesday it’s arming Ukraine with Excalibur satellite-guided artillery rounds and four more High-Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems to help repel Russia’s invasion force.
The $625 million in weapons and equipment, provided from U.S. military stockpiles under presidential drawdown authority, comes amid battlefield wins for Ukrainian forces. The U.S. Department of Defense also is contracting with industry for the supplies.
The latest drawdown includes 75,000 more 155mm rounds, 1,000 more Remote Anti-Armor Mine projectiles that dispense anti-tank mines and, 500 more satellite-guided M982 Excalibur rounds.
