Details: The package will be provided under the Presidential Drawdown Authority, the mechanism that allows the president to rapidly transfer defence goods and services from US stockpiles to support allies.

The package includes one battery of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system, as previously confirmed by Joe Biden.

It also includes ammo for the NASAMS and HIMARS systems, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, 155mm and 105mm artillery shells, TOW missiles, Javelin and AT-4 anti-tank systems, small arms ammunition, explosive ammunition, and spare components.

The US Department of Defense also announced the procurement of interceptors for the Patriot and NASAMS air defence systems worth US$2.2 billion.
