Originally published on AntiWar
The Pentagon announced on Wednesday a new $400 million weapons package for Ukraine, marking the 26th drawdown of equipment from US military stockpiles for the Ukrainians.
The package includes heavy machine guns meant to counter drones, ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), and munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASMS), an air defense system the US just began delivering to Ukraine.
According to the Pentagon, the package includes:
- Additional munitions for NASMS
- 150 heavy machine guns with thermal imagery sights to counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)
- Additional ammunition for HIMARS
- 200 precision-guided 155mm artillery rounds
- 10,000 120mm mortar rounds
- High-speed Anti-radiation missiles (HARMs)
- 150 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs)
- Over 100 light tactical vehicles
- Over 20,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition
- Over 200 generators
- Spare parts for 105mm Howitzers and other equipment
The $400 million is being sent to Ukraine through the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which allows President Biden to send arms straight from US military stockpiles. According to the Pentagon, the US has pledged over $19 billion in military equipment for Ukraine since Russia invaded. That includes arms shipped using the PDA and equipment the US has said it will purchase for Kyiv, which takes longer to deliver.
Aid for Ukraine is still being pulled from the previous package that was approved in September. So far, the US has authorized about $67 billion in spending on the war, and the White House is asking Congress to approve a new massive aid package worth $37.7 billion.
The Pentagon on Wednesday also released a fact sheet detailing all of the arms the US has committed to Ukraine. The Biden administration is still holding out on some of the longer-range weapons Kyiv seeks over concerns of escalation.
It’s time for Russia to be more proactive and hit the messenger. It means, as soon as the “package” (just to use a word from the headline) enters Ukro territory, pulverize it with all kinds of hypersonic precise strikes. And you know exactly when such weapons arrive, as you have intel all over Ukronazistan. So, there is no more excuses.
Russian strikes arent so accurate, and their missile supplies isnt unlimited. Sadly for you, theses weapons will likely reach Ukraine intact
Fact is Ukraine soldiers and regular US and UK soldiers pretends dressing as Ukraine soldiers have suffer very very heavy loss of life due to human wave cannon fodder tactics, sad US and UK will sell their widows and daughters prostitutes sex slaves in US and UK.
More deaths for the American Monster, I hope they all die a gory horrible death, they deserve it.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel now to supply the Nazis .
More target practice for Russian army, more Ukronazy killed, Ukraine reduce to rubble, Europa driven into nenorocul… what else could they enjoy more?! Some tens of bilions bucks in scap iron is a small price for so great results!

“💥As a result of high-precision weaponry strikes by the Russian Air Force against three temporary Polish mercenary units near Velikiye Hutora (Kharkov region), up to 200 militants have been destroyed.
◽️In addition, over a hundred mercenaries of the so-called Foreign Legion, as well as 1 tank, 2 armoured combat vehicles and 8 motor vehicles have been eliminated by Russian air force high-precision weapons near Seversk and Slovyansk (Donetsk People’s Republic).”
◽️In the past, we here in the SF forum coined the phrase “NATO will fight Russia until the last Ukrainian”. Some months later, everybody was using this phrase and even Tucker Carlson. Now I introduce a new phrase: “NATO will fight Russia until the last mercenary”.
Nothing will help Zelensky and GloboHomo. The air campaign over Ukraine underway is destroying Ukrainian energy and electrical infrastructure. General Surovikin will mop up the floor with Zelensky’s forces when his 380,000 reinforcements are fully ready and in place for the Final Offensive.
