The Pentagon on Monday announced the latest withdrawal of equipment from U.S. military stockpiles for Ukraine including small arms ammo, artillery shells, and missiles.
 
The Department of Defense this week quietly posted the latest, 34th, drawdown from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021, which is valued at up to $350 million. Big ticket items include HIMARS rockets, 155mm artillery rounds, 25mm cannon ammunition, 81mm and 60mm mortar rounds, grenade launchers, demo equipment, riverine patrol boats, thermal sights, and other gear. Also included were additional small arms – classified as .50 caliber BMG and under – along with associated ammunition.
 
Overall, this brings the total of American military assistance to Ukraine to more than $33.2 billion since the beginning of the Biden Administration took office. By comparison, Ukraine spent just $5.9 billion on its entire military in 2021.
 
When it comes to the running tally of equipment transferred from U.S. stocks to Ukraine this year, more than 150 million rounds of small arms ammunition have been allocated along with 232 pieces of artillery and over 2 million shells. Add to this over 1,600 Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems, 8,500 Javelin tank killer missiles, and 58,000 "other anti-armor systems."
 
The full list, as of March 20, is below:
