US to provide more counter-drone systems to Ukraine

The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has announced additional security assistance to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defence needs. 

This Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) package, which has an estimated value of USD425 million, will include counter-uncrewed aerial systems equipment including air defence interceptors.

This announcement is the Biden Administration’s sixty-ninth tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.
