M777 howitzers surplus to requirements. The 105mms are very much surplus to requirements.
So are Bradleys.
Stingers are obsolete. The US Army is now buying Polish Piorun.
Hawk, Avenger, M113, Humvee, MRAPs (Maxpro), TOW,
etc. are obsolete or surplus to requirements.
We can run down through the list if you like.

One thing the US SHOULD be sending is 400-500 M109 SP howitzers. Which are also surplus to requirements. And Ukraine is already using a bunch of them from Nato countries.
