“The latest package includes more GMLRS, 105 millimeter howitzers, artillery ammunition and HARMs, Humvees, armored ambulances, anti-tank systems, small arms, and more,” The U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III said in his opening remarks at the Fifth Ukraine Defense Contact Group.
If we take the average content of this package, it is possible to see another stable support of the Armed Forces in the necessary armament, as well as a tendency to strengthen the artillery segment in the 105 mm caliber, which is intended to replace the 122 mm artillery systems.
There is some signes that some "artificial intelligence systems" may be the most interesting part of the package. But without its details, it is only possible to fantasize about its content. Because such systems are now used in many innovative areas, starting from the identification of prisoners by photo, ending with super-powerful intelligence systems and military management.
It should be noted that since the beginning of the Russian invasion, the United States has already allocated 13.5 billion dollars only for armaments for Ukraine, and with the new package - more than 14 billion. Thus, in 6.5 months of war, Washington allocated 14 annual budgets of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for all armaments, a record 2021 year.
