Nice... But with winter approaching, Ukraine could also do with some non-military aid as well. Specifically, power generation capabilities.
I guarantee that's why it's so big.
Europe has also been providing aid very heavily of the non-military variety given they have more spare civilian capacity than military. This includes power generation and transmission to Ukraine, parts, etc.
The recent Perun video also talked about how ~50% of power generation is still online in Ukraine, due to it coming from nuclear plants. Still not enough to fully power the country, particularly if transmission is not kept online, but that is a better picture than I previously thought it was.
I didn't see anything specific to that in the official statement, but it could be in the confidential/internal use only docs.
Reading the article sounds like weapons, nothing else mentioned.
Europe usually sends more of that stuff than the USA...
