More US arms shipments to Ukraine

The system had already allowed the Ukrainian army in recent weeks to hit Russian command centers and ammunition depots far behind the front lines. Anti-tank guided missiles of the TOW and Javelin types will also be part of the next delivery, as will anti-radar missiles, surveillance drones and howitzers.

“High Price”

According to the Pentagon official, Moscow continues to pay a “heavy price” for Ukrainian attacks, particularly by Himars missile launchers. Russian units would be stopped from advancing. The Ukrainian army failed to conquer any significant territory in the south and east of the country – but the new arms deliveries would strengthen Kiev’s armed forces and promote “battlefield successes”.

In particular, the demining equipment that Washington will now deliver is intended to help Ukraine “reclaim areas”. The Russian air defense system is also weakened with HARM anti-radar missiles.
