    And a part of that is old stuff that would be decommissioned so the cash is to make the new products. Or do I have understood it.

      nah that’s right. we’ve sent ukraine a shit ton of basically decommissioned shit. and even then we’ve been weirdly stingy, and unresponsive to their non military aid requests (their biggest ask is glass)

        Seems weird to ask the US for glass when they can get it from a lot closer, assuming we’re just talking about normal glass.

          they’ve been asking literally all their allies for glass. it’s been a constant struggle for them to get aid, especially as the western countries they used to rely on shifted focus to helping Israel
