US Sends Weapons And Military Gear To Ukraine From Delaware Air Base

This is the moment US Air Force personnel prepare pallets of weapons, ammo, and equipment bound for the Ukraine to assist fighters defending their country from Russian invaders.

The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS), part of the US Department of Defense, shared the video on 28th February.

They accompanied the footage with the message: “Airmen from the 436th Aerial Port Squadron transfer pallets of ammunition, weapons and other equipment bound for Ukraine during a foreign military sales mission at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Feb. 28, 2022.

“Since 2014, the United States has committed more than USD 5.4 billion in total assistance to Ukraine, including security and non-security assistance. The United States reaffirms its steadfast commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in support of a secure and prosperous Ukraine.”

The UK has also sent anti-tank weapons to the Ukraine and promised to send more ‘defensive weapons’ in the coming days.

Since mid-January, the UK has sent around 2,000 anti-tank missiles to the war-torn country as well as military instructors to help train Ukrainian soldiers on how to use the equipment.

Among the other allies to send military gear to the Ukraine are Germany, France, Belgium, Greece, Finland, Norway, and the Netherlands.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, 44, said on Sunday that the government will allow citizens to join the international brigades currently forming in Ukraine.

She said: “It’s a choice anyone can make. This goes for all Ukrainians who live here, but also for others who think they can contribute directly to the conflict.”
