The U.S. has approved another $325 million in weapons, including more armored vehicles, for Ukraine as the long-expected counteroffensive against Russia gets underway.
The package includes 15 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and 10 Stryker armored personnel carriers.
In the opening days of the counteroffensive, some of that military equipment appears to have been destroyed in Ukraine, open-source images seem to show. U.S. officials cannot confirm the images but do expect some equipment damage as the Ukrainians encounter Russian defensive lines. So far in the counteroffensive, both sides have suffered losses, but Ukrainians have been making some progress in retaking villages.

From GPS-guided bombs to electronic warfare, Russia improves its weaponry in UkraineAs Ukrainian troops probe Russian defenses, Kyiv’s forces face an enemy that has made mistakes and suffered setbacks in the 15-month-old war. But Moscow also has learned from those blunders and improved its weapons and skills. Russia has built heavily fortified defenses along the more than 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) front line, honed its electronic weapons to reduce Ukraine’s edge in combat drones and used its massive Cold-War-era arsenal of heavy bombs to turn them into precision-guided gliding munitions capable of striking targets without putting its warplanes at risk. That could threaten to turn the fight into a long battle of attrition.
