Journalists write that the Pentagon has not yet made a final decision. However, the next military aid package may be announced at a new meeting in Ramstein.
The US is considering sending Stryker armored combat vehicles to Ukraine as part of an upcoming aid package. That’s why Washington wants to help Kiev repel Russia’s anticipated spring offensive. Politico writes about it, citing its sources at the Pentagon.
Stryker may reportedly be part of the next tranche of military aid. The White House may announce this next week, during the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting in Ramstein, Germany. However, a final decision has not been made yet.
“We don’t have any announcements at this time,” said Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Garron Garn.
In his opinion, the Stryker is not as good as the Bradley for tank combat, but good for protecting infantry in close combat.
Operators from the US Army told reporters that the Stryker wheeled vehicle was quieter than the Bradley. It can carry up to 9 soldiers.
The publication writes that the cars were regularly sent to Iraq along with the US infantry battalions, where they allowed US troops to move quickly on paved roads.
The material says that sending powerful armored vehicles like the Bradley and Stryker could be political preparation to send tanks to Ukraine. But now the Western partners cannot decide who should decide first.
