US Approves $322 Million in Military Sales to Ukraine, Including HAWK and Bradley Vehicles
The US Department of State has approved two military aid packages for Ukraine, totaling $322 million. These packages include $172 million for HAWK Phase III air defense systems, encompassing maintenance, spare parts, and training, alongside $150 million for Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles and their associated support. The sale aims to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities by providing crucial equipment and services, such as missile repairs and logistical support, while also involving key contractors from the US and Greece. The US government asserts that this sale will not disrupt regional military balance and that the HAWK system will enhance Ukraine’s ability to counter aerial threats.
