As well as for the Gray Eagle and Reaper drones.

Today, the Ukrainian delegation led by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with US President Joe Biden in Washington. According to Politico, the Ukrainian delegation intends to ask the head of the White House for ATACMS missiles with a range of about 300 kilometers. Kyiv also hopes to receive reconnaissance and strike drones Gray Eagle and Reaper.

Important to note, the officials in the United States are resisting the provision of weapons capable of striking at the territory of the Russian Federation.

Politico writes that the Biden administration flatly refused to send ATACMS to Ukraine.

American officials fear provoking Putin to use even deadlier weapons inside Ukraine.

Politico notes that the new U.S. military aid package will include, for the first time ever, Patriot air defense systems and Joint Direct Attack munitions kits that turn fighter jets' unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions.

Earlier, the Charter97.org website wrote about what Patriot air defense systems, which Ukraine can receive, are famous for.
