According to a US official, the weapons package includes anti-aircraft defense systems, anti-drone systems, attack drones, and ammunition, reported Reuters.
The US is using funds under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) program, which allows President Joe Biden’s administration to buy weapons directly from suppliers rather than remove them from the US arms stockpile.
Among the systems and munitions, the US plans to purchase for Kyiv is an air defense system manufactured by L3Harris Technologies called VAMPIRE. The list also includes two types of drones: Phoenix Ghost and Switchblade.
In addition, Ukraine will receive many anti-drone systems from the Australian company DroneShield Ltd (DRO.AX) as well as radar systems, sensors, and analytical systems.
