 U.S. to provide tiny black hornet nanodrones to Ukraine in new aid package. Ukraine will receive a batch of tiny black hornet nanodrones used for reconnaissance in a new aid package worth about 400 million U.S. dollars. Associated Press reported it with reference to unnamed U.S. officials. The agency noted that black hornet are tiny nanodrones used primarily for intelligence gathering. Ukraine has received them from other Western allies. In addition, the package will also include various types of ammunition, including missiles for Himmars and Nassams, air defense systems as well as artillery ammunition. The U.S. will also send Javelin anti-tank missile systems and Stinger manpads. The package will also include 32 striker armored combat vehicles, mine clearance equipment, Hydra 70 missiles, mortars and millions of rounds of small arms ammunition. Overall, the U.S. has provided more than 41 billion dollars in military aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022. The latest package of weapons comes as a Ukrainian drone struck an ammunition depot in Russian annexed Crimea and Russia accused Ukraine of launching a drone attack on Moscow. Russian media reported that one of the drones fell near the city center not far from the towering Defense Ministry building. Reuters said that the new aid package to Ukraine will be provided through the Presidential Drawdown Authority mechanism, which allows the supply of weapons and equipment directly from the U.S. Army's warehouses. This will already be the 43rd such tranche since February 2022.
