The US will send a massive arsenal to Ukraine in the next few weeks, President Joe Biden announced Wednesday, March 16, including Stinger missiles and battlefield drones.

Included in an $800 million assistance package are 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems, 2,000 Javelin and 6,000 AT-4 anti-tank missiles, 1,000 light anti-armor weapons, 100 small “tactical” drones, 5,000 rifles, and 20 million rounds. The package also includes 25,000 sets of body armor and helmets — enough to outfit about 10% of the entire Ukrainian armed forces‘ claimed pre-invasion strength.

Though most of the promised arms were fairly typical battlefield weapons, inclusion of small drones would be a high-tech addition. “[Including drones] demonstrates our commitment to sending our most cutting-edge systems,” Biden said. “We’re going to give Ukraine the arms to fight and defend themselves through all the difficult days ahead.”

The US previously sent over 600 Stingers, 2,600 Javelins, five Mi-17 helicopters, three patrol boats, four counter-artillery and drone tracking radars, 200 grenade launchers, and ammunition.
