The first party of US assistance will come in a "few days": which weapons can put
Much of about $ 60 billion will be allocated for replenishment of US defense reserves. US officials have not disclosed details about what weapons Ukraine will receive. However, the Pentagon spokesman Major General Patrick Ryder reported that the defense forces are likely to receive more ammunition for air defense systems and artillery shells. "We have a very reliable logistics network that allows us to move material means very quickly, as we did in the past," he said.
Ryder assured that the US can deliver in a few days. He was also asked about the transfer of ATACMS missiles to Ukraine. The spokesman replied that he "had nothing to report today. " The media informed that the US has a "limited number" of these long -range missiles. According to the officials, the rest of the atacms arsenal is kept in the event of such "unforeseen circumstances" as war with the Russian Federation, DPRK or China.
However, unnamed US officials have confirmed that Ukraine will be able to get additional ATACMS. This will be possible just as a weapon in the arsenal of the Pentagon will be replaced by Precision Strike Missils (PRSM). The US also had to accelerate the production of ammunition, the most necessary forces of defense. In particular, the production of artillery shells now takes only a few weeks.
Recall that in ISW, on April 20, the likely restoration of assistance to Ukraine from the United States was called "a critical turning point in the war. " Analysts emphasized that Washington and allies should support the defense forces regularly and consistently, supplying "new critical systems" in a timely manner. Also in ISW on April 20 was warned that in the next few weeks the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were activated at the front.
