More Javelins for Ukraine amid questions about US supplies

WASHINGTON ― The U.S. has approved another $100 million in Javelin anti-tank weapons and training for Ukraine from U.S. military stocks, for a total of $1.7 billion in U.S. aid committed since Russia’s invasion.
“I have authorized, pursuant to a delegation from the President earlier today, the immediate drawdown of security assistance valued at up to $100 million to meet Ukraine’s urgent need for additional anti-armor systems,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement on Tuesday.
Ukraine’s use of Javelins and anti-aircraft Stinger missiles supplied by the U.S. and its allies has taken center stage in Ukraine’s fight to repel Russia. U.S. defense officials credit Javelins with blunting Russia’s armored forces and Stingers with denying Russia air superiority ― all while Russia’s forces are stumbling logistically and cannot link their air and ground power.
