Reuters: U.S. to announce $1.3 billion in military aid for Ukraine -sources
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will announce a new pledge to buy $1.3 billion worth of military aid for Kyiv in its conflict with Russia in the coming days, two U.S. officials said.
The previously unreported weapons package includes air defenses, counter-drone systems, exploding drones and ammunition, one of the U.S. officials said.

WNU Editor: No surprise about this impending announcement. Recent losses have been incredibly high for the Ukraine army .... Third of US Bradley vehicles sent to Ukraine already lost or destroyed (Insider).

Throw in another billion whilst they’re at it
just as was said yesterday in the comments section
NTY says 20% losses, Probably more like 30 to 40 % loss

I agree.
40%? , since 70% hadn't been thrown into battle the 20% most likely holds true
Where did you get the 70% number fazzy?
Mr Faz is pulling your leg and simply says all the guesses are simply guesses and based on nothing. My view: I will go with the NY Times since they are professional and have a track record. Of course, they might be off. But then they are not like the nonjournalists here just tossing out numbers.
Professional!!!! Really!!!
yes, really. Check on how many Pulitzers they win each year. Now tell us about your news sources and prizes they win!
ps: a sneer is simply a reflex from one who has no substantive thing to say.
