Ukraine already has almost two thirds of M777 howitzer shells
The United States has already delivered more than 130,155-mm shells to the M777 howitzers in Ukraine, nearly two-thirds of the planned.
A high-ranking Pentagon official made this statement during a telephone briefing, Ukrinform’s own correspondent reports.
“Of the 155 shells delivered, 64% of the total. I would like to remind you that after the last announcement of the $ 150 million package, the total number is 209,000 for the 155 mm caliber – more than 130,000 of them have already been delivered to Ukraine, “said a US Defense Department spokesman.
He learned that supplies were continuing, and not just from the United States.
“During the last 24 hours, ten flights from different countries have been sold to this region,” the official said, adding that the United States continues to coordinate international decisions on this issue.
He also said that the Ukrainian military is undergoing training in mastering the maintenance of M777 howitzers, as well as the use of Puma unmanned systems.
In addition, a Pentagon spokesman confirmed that three of the eleven polling stations in Ukraine had been handed over a Mi-17 helicopter. And one of them, according to the Ukrainian side, already supports two combat missions.
The representative of the US Department of Defense also notes that there are at least 106 battle tactical groups of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine. Moreover, the main force of the Russians are concentrated near Izyum and north of the Lyman.
As Ukrinform reported, over the past, Ukrainian forces have continued to destroy enemy manpower and equipment. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Bakhmut and Zaporizhia directions.
