Sweden announces new $100,000,000 military aid package for Ukraine

Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said that the Swedish government is preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine.

Here's What We Know

The cost of the new package is 1,000,000,000 Swedish krona (or $100,000,000). Andersson did not say what kind of armament it was referring to, but previously Ukraine had asked Sweden for ammunition, self-propelled Archer artillery units based on Volvo A30D 6×6 chassis, as well as RBS 70 surface-to-air missile systems.

Recall that in July Sweden announced that it would send Ukraine anti-ship missiles RBS 17 (aka Robotsystem 17). They are the modification of the American AGM-114 Hellfire. These missiles can be launched from ship or ground fire points.
