The Pentagon awarded $800 million in additional contracts since mid November to replace weapons and equipment sent to Ukraine, as well as another $1.2 billion in contracts for the country’s long-term security needs, according to the latest monthly tally.
The total included $363 million in new restock contracts to unspecified companies for additional 155mm rounds, according to a Dec. 5 fact sheet made available to Bloomberg News. The largest new restock addition was a contract to Lockheed Martin Corp. to produce more HIMARS mobile rocket systems that Ukraine’s used against Russian targets.
