Range of about 94 miles. These will devastate Russian supply lines and other targets making a great combination for when the tanks arrive. U.S. readies $2 billion-plus Ukraine aid package with longer-range weapons -sources WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States is readying more than $2 billion worth of military aid for Ukraine that is expected to include longer-range rockets for the first time as well as other munitions and weapons, two U.S. officials briefed on the matter told Reuters on Tuesday. The weapons aid is expected to be announced as soon as this week, the officials said. It is also expected to include support equipment for Patriot air defense systems, precision guided munitions and Javelin anti-tank weapons, they added. One of the officials said a portion of the package, expected to be $1.725 billion, would come from a fund known as the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which allows President Joe Biden's administration to get weapons from industry rather than from existing U.S. weapons stocks. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/u-readies-2-billion-plus-223944008.html https://www.saab.com/products/ground-launched-small-diameter-bomb-glsdb 2 billion $ being the significant words. I wonder how long financially devastated American citizens will accept such payments for a war a long way off, that does not threaten them. I imagine some congress people will be getting letters from their constituents about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Fran Dan Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 6 hours ago, expat_4_life said: Pretty obvious to me that Ukraine is losing this war. If they were winning they would not need more weapons. Thus far they've burned through the old soviet era weapons, not just theirs but also of the former Warsaw Pact countries, the western supplied anti-tank stingers/manpads, artillery and in the coming months they will burn through the new shipments of tanks and armored vehicles. I don't think anything the west can supply will change the outcome, but it will ensure many more needless deaths. All F-16s will do is draw out the conflict and risk even further escalation. It feels like the West is in a trap, they can't stop escalating. Any country that does not continue to give more and higher tech weaponry is going to be the country that takes the blame when this war is lost. Diplomacy is the only way out.

bangon04 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 22 hours ago, Tug said: Probably the training issues and they know the Ukrainians would be taking russias war to Russia proper if so equipped Why not give the Ukrainians a load of the MiGs still in use by ex-eastern bloc countries? This would help the Ukrainians in the short term because they are well-trained to use them. The "allies" could then be re-supplied by F-16s and the US arms dealers would make lots of money anyway. Same argument for the tanks - send to Ukraine all the leftover T72s and T80s in the short term to boost Ukraine, and then sell lots of Leopards and Challengers to the allies.....
