As NBN reports with reference to Politico's material, Washington is considering sending medium-range missiles to Ukraine to equip F-16 multirole fighters as part of the above-described military assistance package.

The missiles in question are expected to have a range of more than 180 kilometers, which will allow the Ukrainian Air Force to strike enemy targets at a significantly greater distance.

In particular, the said ammunition can be fired 70 kilometers from the front line, which will open up new tactics for the Defense Forces to strike various military targets and frontline weapons depots, thereby complicating the operations of Putin's army.

However, according to information available from a number of American military officials, the contents of the package are still being finalized, meaning the composition of the cargo may change before the White House makes an official announcement.
