In addition, the package will contain other types of weapons and equipment to support the defense needs of Ukraine.
The United States began supplying HAWK interceptor missiles to Ukraine in 2022 as a modernization of the Stinger — smaller in size and shorter range.
The MIM-23 HAWK missiles were manufactured in the 1950s and have undergone significant upgrades over time, being exported to more than a dozen countries.
Since 2022, the volume of assistance provided by the United States for the military needs of Ukraine has exceeded $50 billion.
The Financial Times previously wrote that the United States, Israel and Ukraine are negotiating the supply of up to eight Patriot air defense systems to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The full-scale war in Ukraine has been going on for the 857th day.
