Following a televised speech to the Nation, President Biden signed a new $800 million aid package for Ukraine, a new collection of weapons, supplies and humanitarian aid which includes Drones.

The mention of drones seems quite significant as that is not something which has been cited or emphasized much before by Pentagon and US national security leaders.

However it seems extremely critical given the technological sophistication of modern US drones in terms of an ability to track Russian ground movements and network time-sensitive data to Ukrainian defenders on the ground.

Following the President’s announcement, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin released a statement announcing the new development in the context of the overall US support for Ukraine.

“Through the additional authority provided in the FY 2022 Ukraine supplemental signed into law by the president yesterday, the U.S. Department of Defense is moving expeditiously on the fifth Presidential Drawdown of security assistance. Today’s drawdown, valued at up to $800 million, brings to more than $2 billion the total U.S. security assistance commitment since the beginning of the Administration,” Austin said in a Pentagon statement.

The overall aid package will include thousands of pieces of ammunition, weapon systems and shoulder-fired air defense interceptors as well as “drones.”
