  1. Couple clarifications, the US has not promised one single aircraft to Ukraine, we gave permission for others to donate US made aircraft. Second clarification, with all kinds of things from Bradley IFV's to artillery shells the Pentagon typically ships them old 15-20 year old items or older from mothball storage but it does not charge the aid package the cost of that item twenty years ago or the depreciated cost either, it charges the aid package to Ukraine the FULL cost of a brand NEW Bradley (using the Bradley as an example) the Pentagon then ships Ukraine the twenty year old mothballed Bradley and uses the money from the aid package to buy a brand new Bradley for US forces. A lot of people do not know this and assume we are just giving them stuff like many other countries but the US is using the Ukraine aid package for a significant US military buildup or rather modernization replacing old with new.
