Strykers Featured In Latest Ukraine Aid Package

The U.S. is preparing to send Stryker wheeled armored vehicles to Ukraine as part of its latest aid package, reports CNN.

The US$2.5 billion package also includes more Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles and more ammunition for artillery and HIMARS rocket system.

The package is not yet finalized but could be announced before the end of the week.

The package does not include other items specifically request by Ukraine, including tanks or long-range missiles. The Biden administration has been hesitant to send Ukraine long-range weapons like the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) out of concerns about escalating the conflict with Russia.
