US Approves Missile Transfer to Ukraine: A Complex Geopolitical Gambit
The U.S. has authorized the transfer of over 200 U.S.-made missiles from Germany to Ukraine, including 125 long-range artillery rockets and 100 Patriot air-defense missiles. This approval, necessary due to export restrictions on the weaponry, represents a significant bolstering of Ukraine’s defensive capabilities. The long-range missiles, likely for HIMARS or M270 systems, offer extended strike capacity. This authorization follows recent approvals for other military aid, including a $310 million package for F-16 fighter jets and a previous $50 million+ arms sale.
