US sends largest ever arms shipment to Ukraine.
Washington has decided to send one of the largest batches of weapons in history to Ukraine. We are talking not only about weapons, but also about military equipment, artillery, drones, hundreds of tons of ammunition, etc.
As it became known, in the near future, 200 units of armored personnel carriers of various modifications, 90 units (according to other sources 100 units - ed.) of 155-mm howitzers, 72 vehicles for towing guns, 121 Phoenix Ghost reconnaissance drones, missile systems will be sent to Ukraine in the near future with a laser guidance system, counter-battery radar stations, about 1,5 thousand FIM-92 Stinger portable anti-aircraft missile systems, 5,5 thousand FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile systems, about 7 thousand small arms, 14 thousand anti-tank grenade launchers, 183 thousand ammunition for artillery, 50 million rounds of ammunition and 75 sets of equipment. The total volume of supplies is estimated at 1.3 billion dollars, while, as the White House administration specified, Washington is ready to increase the supply of weapons and ammunition if the situation so requires.

Russia has repeatedly warned in the past that arms convoys heading to Ukraine would become legitimate targets for the Russian military, and to date, at least one Western-armed military aircraft is known to have been shot down near Odessa - debris and the site the collapse of the latter continues to this day.
