Pencil whipping the accounting sheets, to send a few more boatloads of gear to the Ukraine. More change from between the sofa cushions at the Pentagon, just in time for the counteroffensive... Surprise!
“WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - The Pentagon overestimated the value of the ammunition, missiles and other equipment it sent to Ukraine by around $3 billion, a Senate aide and a defense official said on Thursday, an error that may lead the way for more weapons being sent to Kyiv for its defense against Russian forces.”
In its accounting, the Pentagon used replacement cost to value the weapons aid, instead of the weaponry’s value when it was purchased and depreciated, the senior defense officials said.
