U.S. Plans Long-Term Aid for Ukraine with Tanks and F-16 Jets.

The US is in discussions with allies on how to supply F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, while training for Ukrainian troops on US-supplied Abrams tanks has started. America's top military officer, General Mark Milley, warned it could be some time before Kyiv could use the Western-supplied military equipment against Russian forces. The US has given the green light to supply F-16s, but details about delivery, training, flying tactics, and locations are still being worked out. The training for around 200 Ukrainian troops on Abrams tanks has started in Germany, aimed at getting the troops ready on the systems before 31 tanks the Biden administration has promised are scheduled to arrive this fall.

Ukrainian soldiers fear Russian artillery shell supply is endless.

Front-line Ukrainian soldiers in the Donbas region say it seems like Russia has "unlimited" artillery shells to throw at them — while they remain worried about running out by the end of the year. New weapons from the US and NATO allies, like the Abrams tank, could change the tide of the war. The US and its allies announced earlier this year that they'd send modern Western tanks to Ukraine. Just this week, the White House and Pentagon said they'd fast-track the delivery of older M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in eight to 10 months.

Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines in the Donbas region say it feels like Russia has an unlimited supply of artillery shells, while they worry about running out of ammunition by the end of the year. Despite Kyiv's top military officials saying Moscow could run out of military tools, the bombardment still feels constant. However, new weapons from the US and NATO allies, like the Abrams tank, could change the tide of the war. The White House and Pentagon have announced they will fast-track the delivery of older M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in eight to 10 months.
