Новый пакет военной помощи от США, 10 ноября 2022 г.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
$400 Million in Additional Assistance for Ukraine
Nov. 10, 2022 |
Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announces the authorization of a Presidential Drawdown of security assistance valued at up to $400 million to meet Ukraine's critical security and defense needs. This authorization is the Biden Administration's twenty-fifth drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.

Capabilities in this package include:
• Missiles for HAWK air defense systems;
• Four Avenger air defense systems, and Stinger missiles;
• Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
• 21,000 155mm artillery rounds;
• 500 precision-guided 155mm artillery rounds;
• 10,000 120mm mortar rounds;
• 100 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs);
• 400 grenade launchers; [MK 19 MOD 3?]
• Small arms, optics, and more than 20,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition;
• Demolition equipment for obstacle clearing;
• Cold weather protective gear.

With Russia's unrelenting and brutal air attacks on Ukrainian critical infrastructure, additional air defense capabilities are critical. The HAWK missiles, which will be refurbished using Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funds, will complement Spain's recent commitment of HAWK launchers to help Ukraine meet this threat. The Avenger short-range air defense systems will also provide Ukraine with capability to protect Ukrainian troops and critical infrastructure against Unmanned Aerial Systems and helicopters. (...)

Мало артбоеприпасов, мало. Нужно больше.
Авенджер хорошо, но нужно что-то еще, нужно больше. Самая большая проблема в борьбе с БЛА русни -- микро-дроны и Орлан-Ланцет. Нужно больший средств ПВО/ПРО ближнего действия, и хард, и софт килл (второе -- РЭБ, первое -- пушки, маленькие управляемые ракеты и классические ЗУР, лазеры). Не помешают и большие системы типа PATRIOT, и с обычными ЗУР, и с противоракетами.

ТОУ на Хамви уже в Украине. А где заявленные 120-мм минометы от США (от европейцев постановлено немного, даже от финнов :-) ).
