The United States will send 40 armored riverine boats to Ukraine as part of the latest assistance package.
The riverine boats are part of a $400 million aid package announced Friday. It’s the second time the U.S. is sending riverine boats to Ukraine as part of ongoing assistance in response to the Russian invasion.
The aid assistance package does not detail the type of riverine boats the U.S. is sending to Ukraine. Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh did not provide details but said that how the riverine boats will be used is up to the Ukrainian forces.
The U.S. previously sent 18 riverine boats in June. Metal Shark sent six of those boats, USNI News previously reported. Six patrol boats are already operating in the Black Sea, Naval News reported.
Also part of the package announced Friday are 45 refurbished T-72B tanks.

Put John Kerry in command of one of them.
I don’t see 40 arms on that thing.
SBU bump !!!
“Also part of the package announced Friday are 45 refurbished T-72B tanks.’
Are we paying for Ukrainian tanks to be refurbished or are we buying them elsewhere?
Put them on the Rio Grande.
When Ukraine loses the last of its coastline in another couple of months they won’t need any boats.
Where did the US military get so many Soviet built tanks?
Wasn’t the US policy, in writing and promised to the sky, no former Soviet states in NATO? Could that broken word be a major source of today’s war in Uke?
Duh.
Insanity. Illegals are overrunning the Border Patrol and we’re pissing away resources in some shtthole country on the other side of the planet. It borders on treason.
How about OUR friggin border! Just think if 5+ million rooskies enteted ukraine.........
Too bad we gave all that stuff to Afghanistan or whoever is taking it from them
Coulda just sent it straight. Hmm.
Total waste of money.
We should be spending that money here in the US.
Upgraded and put into tip top running condition. From Poland most likely. Ukies have gotten the same tanks before from Poland
Give them the LCS “ships”. Particulary the ones under constrution that are slated for decommissioning.

They’d just get stuck on the sand bars.
This just confirms all the more the 2019 Rand Corporation Russia Destablization Plan
-—45 refurbished T-72’s——that part sounds like BS but could happen. Our guys have been big, since gulf war I, to squirrel away captured/abandoned Russian armor and a bunch of it got sent to Camp Irwin for desert training. So, yeah, maybe we have a stash that large someplace. I remember our Mediteranian/Persian gulf/Arabian sea/Red sea fleet supply ships coming home mostly empty so they frequently hauled stuff like that back.
He’d just shoot himself in the ass. Again.
