US unveils $2.85B Ukraine aid package, including Bradley fighting vehicles

Laura Cooper, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, Eurasia at the Pentagon outlined Friday the details of a nearly $3 billion aid package for Ukraine, which will include several dozen Bradley fighting vehicles.

Cooper said the U.S. would provide 50 Bradley fighting vehicles, a medium-armoured combat vehicle that can serve as a fortified troop carried on the battlefield. It has tracks rather than wheels but is lighter and more agile than a tank.
