The Patriot air defense system is a long-range, high-altitude air defense system that will help Ukraine defend against Russian airstrikes. The additional HIMARS ammunition will allow Ukraine to continue to strike Russian targets with precision and accuracy. The anti-air warfare systems will help Ukraine counter Russian drones and aircraft. The counter-unmanned aerial systems will help Ukraine defend against Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The secure communications systems will help Ukraine maintain secure communications in the face of Russian attacks. The medical supplies will help Ukraine treat wounded soldiers and civilians.
