On Tuesday, Aug. 29, the Department of Defense announced additional security assistance to meet Ukraine's critical security and defense needs.
  • This announcement is the Biden Administration's 45th tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.
It includes additional air defense and artillery munitions, mine-clearing equipment, medical vehicles, and other equipment to help Ukraine counter Russia's ongoing war of aggression on the battlefield and protect its people. The capabilities in this package, valued at up to $250 million, include:
  • AIM-9M missiles for air defense.
  • Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems.
  • 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds.
  • Mine clearing equipment.
  • Tube-launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided missiles.
  • Javelin and other anti-armor systems and rockets.
  • Hydra-70 Rockets.
  • Over 3 million rounds of small arms ammunition;
  • Armored medical treatment vehicles and High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle ambulances.
  • Demolition munitions for obstacle clearing.
  • Spare parts, maintenance, and other field equipment.

This security assistance package will utilize assistance previously authorized under the Presidential Drawdown Authority for Ukraine that remained after the PDA revaluation process concluded in June.
