The package will include a battery of the Patriot air defense missile system. In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will receive ammunition for artillery, unmanned aerial vehicles, anti-UAV equipment, and air-to-air missiles to be installed on fighters (most likely F-16s).
The money for the purchase of equipment and ammunition will be allocated under the USAI program. That is, American defense companies will receive a contract for the production of weapons. It may be transferred to Ukraine within a few years.
