The story about the new US-approved package of military aid to Ukraine continues.

Now the list of equipment that the Pentagon will in the coming days or has already started to transfer across the Atlantic Ocean to Rzeszów has surfaced.

There are no new items on this list, mostly equipment that has been delivered so far in the period from January 2022 until now.

However, as for heavier combat vehicles, there are no M1 Abrams AS tanks on it, a contingent of 31 tanks were delivered to Ukraine in October 2023 and five destroyed tanks have been officially registered so far.

The list of weapons in order includes the RIM-7 and AIM-9M missiles, which are versions of the air-to-air missile, but are used as air defense missiles.

Next on the list are the Stinger man-portable air defense systems.

Infantry weapons (automatic rifles, pistols) and ammunition for them, especially 12.7 mm caliber ammunition for combating kamikaze drones.

Ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) This includes ATACMS missiles with a range of 165 and 300 km.

155 mm artillery shells including high-precision Excalibur shells and improved high-precision ammunition, 105 mm artillery shells, 60 mm mortar shells.

Armored vehicles include Bradley M2 Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (MRAP), and Light Armored High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs). Logistic vehicles (trucks), tactical vehicles for armored missile launchers and carriers of additional military equipment.

From anti-tank weapons, Ukraine will receive Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles, Javelin anti-tank missiles and AT-4 rocket launchers.

The list also includes high-precision ammunition, equipment for airports, but also anti-tank mines and anti-personnel ammunition, explosives for removing obstacles and devices for night vision, as well as other equipment for maintenance, repair and other means.

What is interesting is that apart from ATACMS missiles with a range of 165 and 300 km, there is nothing epoch-making. There is no Patriot air defense system on the list, although Kiev requested as many as 7 missile batteries, but no Abrams tanks.
