The United States is preparing to provide Ukraine with a record package of military assistance under the USAI program totaling $6 billion, Politico reports. The package will be the largest in U.S. support history and includes advanced Patriot air and missile defense systems, artillery munitions, unmanned vehicles, counter-drone capabilities, and air-to-air missiles.

According to information from sources of the Avia.pro portal, Kyiv is preparing to start using F-16 fighters equipped with AMRAAM missiles. These missiles, one of the latest versions in US arsenal, are capable of hitting targets up to 160 kilometers away, significantly enhancing enemy air capabilities.

It should be noted that until recently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces could use air-to-air missiles with a maximum range of about 20 kilometers.
