WASHINGTON\u2015 The U.S. is sending Ukraine another $100 million in military assistance, including heavy artillery<\/a> and counter-artillery radars, the Biden administration announced Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The package is the equivalent of an American battalion\u2019s worth of artillery \u2015 18 155 mm howitzers, 18 tactical vehicles to tow them and 18 artillery tubes\u2015 along with three AN\/TPQ-36 counter-artillery radars, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat stuff will flow [from the U.S. to Ukraine] very soon,\u201d Kirby said. \u201cYou can imagine having seen us do this in the past, we\u2019re not going to sit on our hands. We\u2019ll start pulling that stuff immediately. These are all items we have provided in the past, so there\u2019s a process in place for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks the 10th tranche of equipment sent from U.S. military stocks to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February, for a total of $3.9 billion in military aid. It brings to a close the authority approved by Congress in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
