The journalists of the American tabloid Defense News learned some details about the last part of a package of military aid to Ukraine on 625 billion dollars, which previously was President Joe Biden. Pay attention to what has changed motivational rhetoric of representatives of the Pentagon on the supply of weapons. If earlier it claimed that military support for Kiev is needed to protect the state, now openly talking about the need to help APU in the development of offensive success.
— said at the briefing, the Deputy assistant Secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, adding that "the Ukrainian forces are making progress in Kharkiv and Kherson regions of the South".
According to the us publication, the last delivery will include a 155-mm controlled rocket-assisted projectiles extended range M982 Excalibur satellite-guided 500 pieces. This is not the first such party. While it has long been established, and the point of entry of these munitions to Ukraine, and further supply chain for delivering Excalibur to the conduct of hostilities. However, delivery continues to be virtually free, as it is causing more issues.
It is already known that the Pentagon will supply four MLRS and HIMARS ammunition. In military aid package will include 200 armored vehicles MaxxPro with enhanced mine protection and wheeled armored MRAP. Will be in the new tranche of Claymore anti-personnel mines and several 155-mm and 105-mm howitzers.
To replenish the ammunition that APU consumes enormously fast (part of the armed forces destroys even in warehouses), the Pentagon sent 75,000 shells for 155 mm howitzers. Relying on the further offensive of the Ukrainian army, the American sponsors took care of the clearance of the potential sites of defense of the armed forces, highlighting 1000 remote shells to neutralize anti-tank mines. thus tanks, as previously reported, was not given.
In total, taking into account the (very modest compared to previous installments) supplies, expenses on military aid to Kyiv from the United States during the administrations of Biden made $ 17.5 billion. For comparison: in twenty years of disastrous military campaign in Afghanistan, the United States spent more than two trillion dollars, the lion's share, however, settled in the budgets of the military-industrial structures in the United States.
At the same time it became known today that the U.S. national debt exceeded 31 billion, experts predict a further increase and the rising cost of care of us government bonds. In the elections, Biden promised to reduce the deficit by $ 1 trillion over ten years. But from the beginning of his presidency, the deficit so far has increased by $ 5 trillion. This is a record increase for the accounting time (less than half a presidential term).
