The U.S. will send unguided Hydra-70 rockets in an upcoming tranche of military aid to Ukraine, according to new reports.
The fresh round of support, reportedly amounting to around $300 million, will include the Hydra-70 rockets alongside further supplies of artillery rounds and missiles. It may be announced as early as Wednesday and will feature demolition equipment and trucks, unnamed officials told Reuters.
The aid, which is expected to contain additional howitzer rounds and anti-tank rifles, will be taken from existing stocks, Reuters and the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.
As of April 19, 2023, the U.S. has pledged $35.4 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the outbreak of full-scale war on February 24, 2022. Newsweek has contacted the U.S. Defense Department for comment via email.
