It has not been long since the passage of the US military aid bill to Ukraine, and it is already in a hurry to provide Ukraine with its own weapons and equipment. White House press spokesman Jean-Pierre noted that Ukraine is already receiving weapons and equipment from the United States under the framework of new military aid.
The United States is ready to provide weapons and equipment to Ukraine, and as long as Congress orders the money, the United States will send the prepared military aid to Ukraine.
At the Rzeszow Air Base in Poland, a large number of US military transport planes took off and landed to transport a large amount of weapons and equipment to Ukraine, and delivered them to Ukraine through Poland.
These weapons and equipment are mainly armored vehicles and ground equipment, and there is also some ammunition. But the Patriot anti-aircraft missiles, which Ukraine has in its heart, are not included in this assistance. The United States has already stressed that it has nothing superfluous, and if Ukraine wants, it would be better to ask NATO and EU countries for Patriot anti-aircraft missiles.
So why is the United States in a hurry to ship these weapons and equipment to Ukraine? Are these weapons and equipment new weapons and equipment? Not necessarily!
The United States is now sorting out its own military stockpiles, vacating some old weapons and equipment, and preparing to ship them to Ukraine, that is, these old weapons and equipment, old ammunition, and ammunition that are about to expire have all been given to Ukraine. The United States will use the funds to aid Ukraine to buy new weapons and equipment and new ammunition to replenish the US military's inventory. This is the policy adopted by the United States to vacate the cage for birds, in this way the US military has a new round of upgrades in weapons and equipment, but more weapons and equipment that are about to be consumed are given to Ukraine, and Ukraine's needs are also met. The idea of the United States is as simple as that.
As far as Ukraine is concerned, whether the weapons and equipment provided by the United States are new, old or old, as long as they are given to me, they can effectively fight against Russia, after all, their current weapons and equipment are quite scarce!
