The US has promised Ukraine a new military aid package including more Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.

The US-made armored vehicles, which offer maneuverability, versatility, and sufficient firepower, have proven valuable to Ukraine efforts on the battlefield — more so than the main battle tanks and other heavy armor it’s received.

The US Department of Defense announced the aid package, estimated at $250 million, on Friday, noting that it “will provide Ukraine additional capabilities to meet its most urgent needs, including: air defense missiles; munitions for rocket systems and artillery; armored vehicles; and anti-tank weapons.”

    That’s a really interesting and probably accurate take!

    I’m really curious to see all the unexpected innovations that come from this war. …not that I feel good about the human cost.

      Here’s one that’s happening before our very eyes and very rapidly. Drone and drone warfare.

      We’re seeing not just how the technology evolves but also how the strategies in their usage are changing.

        That makes sense. It definitely all makes me uneasy. We really don’t need further depersonalization of killing.
