In addition to howitzers shipment, this “military aid” includes anti-tank missiles (most likely for Javelin), anti-tank mines, probably anti-tank grenade launchers Carl Gustaf and disposable grenade launchers, also automatic weapons, grenades and protective ammunition. A total of 220 million euros.
