The Complete List of U.S. Weapon Systems Sent to Ukraine
Even before Putin’s disastrous, full-scale invasion of Ukraine 4 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days ago, the United States has been supplying Ukraine with lethal military aid since 2014.
As of July 11, 2022, the U.S. has given Ukraine:
Over 1,400 Stinger anti-aircraft systems;
The FIM-92 Stinger is a man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS) that operates as an infrared surface-to-air missile (SAM). Unit cost: $119,320
Over 6,500 Javelin anti-armor systems;
The Javelin’s high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead can defeat modern tanks by top attack, hitting them from above, where their armor is often thinnest. It’s also useful against fortifications in a direct attack flight. Unit cost $216,717
Over 20,000 other anti-armor systems;
The TOW anti-tank missile is one example. Unit cost $93,640 (2B Aero), $54,956 (Bunker Buster)
