On the 19th, the US Department of Defense announced that it will provide military aid worth $2.5 billion, equivalent to approximately 320 billion yen in Japanese yen, to Ukraine, where Russia's military aggression continues.
According to this, in terms of military assistance, we will

The "Stryker" is a highly mobile troop carrier and is intended to support the rapid deployment of Ukrainian troops.
In addition,
▽ 59 armored vehicles "Bradley infantry fighting vehicles" with both mobility and firepower will be additionally provided.

additional shells for the ▽ air defense missile system "Nasamus" and
