The US Congress released the final report on the provision of weapons to Ukraine as part of the opposition to the full-scale invasion of Russia. The department told how many and what kind of weapons the Ukrainian military received from their American colleagues, starting from February 24.

The document states that from late February to early June, the United States transferred hundreds of armored vehicles, drones, howitzers and other weapons to Ukraine.. The overall list of US military aid to Ukraine is as follows:.

ATGM 6500 Javelin;

20,000 AT4 grenade launchers;

MANPADS 1500 Stinger;

108 M777 howitzers and 220,000 shells for them;

121 Phoenix Ghost tactical strike drone;

700 Switchblade kamikaze drones (modifications not specified);

200 M113 armored personnel carriers;

hundreds of Humvee armored vehicles;

20 Mi-17 helicopters;

7,500 small arms and 50 million rounds of ammunition for them;

4 MLRS HIMARS.

Despite the importance of US-provided weapons, Ukrainian politicians and the military have repeatedly noted that they are not enough to radically change the course of events on the battlefield and defeat Russia.. To compare the scale of military assistance that the United States is capable of, one can cite data from the local State Accountability Service on weapons sent to Afghan forces between 2003-2016.. During this time, the States provided Afghanistan with 75,898 vehicles, 599,690 weapons, 162,643 communications equipment, 208 aircraft and 16,191 intelligence equipment..

In addition, according to the Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), from 2017 to 2019, the United States also transferred to the Afghan military:

7035 machine guns, 4702 military SUVs, 20040 hand grenades, 2520 rockets and 1394 grenade launchers and other equipment. Separately, it should be noted that as of June 30, 2021, Afghanistan had 211 US aircraft at its disposal.. At the same time, to the request of Ukrainian officials for the provision of fighter jets, the American authorities have not yet given a clear answer..
