The total amount of aid is less than most of the recent packages provided by the US.

Sources of the publication explained that this is happening because many military officials and experts predict a decrease in the intensity of hostilities in winter.

Interlocutors of the publication reported that the new aid package includes ammunition for howitzers, shells for artillery, and missiles for HIMARS systems. 

In addition, in the new package, the US will supply anti-drone and air defense systems, as well as HUMVEEs, generators and other combat equipment.

Sources of the publication reported that the new aid package was officially announced on Friday, December 9.
