The U.S. will send Ukraine nearly $3 billion in military aid, in a massive new package that will for the first time include several dozen Bradley fighting vehicles, U.S. officials said Thursday, in the Biden administration's latest step to send increasingly lethal and powerful weapons to help Ukraine beat back Russian forces.
The aid — totaling about $2.85 billion — is the largest in a series of packages of military equipment that the Pentagon has pulled from its stockpiles to send to Ukraine. It is aimed at getting as much to the Ukrainian forces as possible during the winter months, before spring sets in and an expected increase in fighting begins.

I don’t know how all this is possible.
The RuZZian trolls said NATO was out of arms to send to Ukraine.
Sounds good to me.
Of course, that equipment will have to be replaced.
Ka-ching!
And the Ukes already know how to operate all of these weapons systems, exactly how? Or are they going to be manned by American and Hessian mercenaries?
Yep one should have disdain for a dictator who has nukes pointed at you.
GIBS-ME-DAT MO’ BILLIONS!
With all this stuff from different countries what consideration has been given to this myriad of logistics systems and who trains the Ukrainians?
Sick of it.
They raise our taxes but keeping throwing money around like we’re drowning in it.
Maybe we can quit throwing money around instead squeezing more out of the taxpayer— things are getting more and more expensive.
I haven't seen a lot of that - but you're a known, subject obsessed liar who knows nobody here... the very definition of a troll.
I know all about Bradleys. They take many weeks of intensive training before you ever get in one - that already has a crew, commander and an existing maintenance infrastructure.
And they take LOTS of maintenance, with lots of parts, and need big motorpools with lots of people who kmow what they're doing.
TOW missiles and HE 20 mike-mike is expensive... and you need training to shoot/mainta8n both.
Good luck.
See post 12.
Bradleys won’t do a thing for them. I doubt they’ll even get any on the field at all.
The MOS for the Bradley hasn’t even existes for years. This is offloading - I’m wondering who’s making out.
The life of the armored vehicle in the conflict of such intensity is too short to care about logistics.
So Tucker is “RuZZian” too... n00b troll?

Yep. Completely bare, no inventory remains……
ROFLOL
I suspect most of the Zelensky Fan Club on here are not American taxpayers. In fact, a lot of them hate Americans, but love our money that the left so freely gives for their own grifting efforts.

I knew it was bigger than 20, just looked it up. I’ve got an empty casing from a live fire event I attended 30+ years ago.
