US Aid Package for Kiev Includes 50 Bradley Vehicles With 500 Tow Anti-Tank Missiles
05:19 GMT 07.01.2023 (Updated: 10:19 GMT 07.01.2023) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The new military assistance package for Ukraine includes 50 Bradley fighting vehicles with 500 TOW anti-tank missiles and 250,000 rounds of 25mm ammunition, among other items, the US Defense Department stated.
However, there is no date yet on when Bradley infantry fighting vehicles will arrive in Ukraine, the Pentagon believes it will take a couple of months.
Nevertheless, it will not take much time for the Ukrainians to learn how to use them, US National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said on Friday.
"It will be some time before they can actually get into country. I couldn’t give you a date certain on the calendar, but I can tell you we are going to do that as fast as we can," Kirby told a briefing. "This is not a system that will require an exorbitant amount of training for the Ukrainians … It’s not so sophisticated that it will take them very long to learn it not only to operate it but to maintain it."
