In addition to modern tanks, other weapons also entered there. 

This is stated on the website of the Pentagon. 

The new package of military aid to Ukraine, which President Biden announced on January 25, included:

  • 31 Abrams tanks with 120-mm shells and other ammunition;

  • Eight tactical vehicles for equipment recovery;

  • Auxiliary vehicles and equipment;
