Still, any further show of support by the US is welcome and appreciated!
I thought i read future atacms deliveries would not be announced.
Too bad no more ATACMs. Just glad Ukraine is getting something though.
The capabilities in this package, valued at up to $150 million, include:
• Additional munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);
• AIM-9M missiles for air defense;
•Stinger anti-aircraft missiles;
• Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
• 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds;
• Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;
• Javelin anti-armor systems;
• More than 2 million rounds of small arms ammunition;
• Night vision devices;
• Demolitions munitions for obstacle clearing;
• Cold weather gear; and
• Spare parts, maintenance, and other ancillary equipment.
I would have liked to see some more mine clearing equipment listed but it is a good list.
Yeah until the House pulls their head out of their ass, Pentagon only has money for ammo resupply. But afaik they still have quite enough to keep it going for over a year at this rate. Once the package passes, hopefully Ukraine will get enough to finish the job and not just keep surviving.

Sadly, no further ATACMS at this point in time.
