The United States has announced another tranche of weapons for Ukraine totalling $775m, and including more High Speed Anti Radiation Missiles (HARMs) for attack on Russian surface-to-air missile radar systems, along with early warning radar facilities.
For the first time, 1,500 TOW missiles – Tube-Launched, Optically Tracked, Wire-Guided missiles – are being supplied. The Pentagon has also committed to a steady flow of precision-guided munitions for HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) too.
Also included are “demolition munitions”. These too have been supplied before in the shape of C-4 explosive, amid rumours of Ukrainian special operations responsible for at least some of the explosions at Russian-occupied military bases in Crimea.
Russia has said sabotage was carried out, without offering any further explanation about what happened at the sites.
