1,100 secret Ghost Phoenix drones, 45 upgraded T-72 tanks and 250 M1117 armored personnel carriers - the U.S. announced a new $400 million military aid package for Ukraine

As expected, the U.S. announced a new military aid package for Ukraine. It includes kamikaze drones and armored vehicles.

Here's What We Know

This time the US has allocated $400 million for Ukraine. This amount will include repairs to HAWK air defense systems for future deliveries. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive 40 armored boats.

The new military aid package includes 1,100 secret Phoenix Ghost kamikaze drones at once. Their parameters are unknown, but most likely the drones do not differ much from the Switchblade 300. Ukraine has previously received such barraging ammunition. Separately, it should be noted that the Phoenix Ghost were designed specifically for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The USA will also send to Ukraine 45 upgraded T-72 tanks, which were bought back from the Czech Republic. Another 45 combat vehicles will be financed by the Netherlands. In addition, Ukraine for the first time will receive 250 M1117 armored personnel carriers.
