On May 11, the U.S. approved a major missile transfer to Ukraine: 100 Patriot interceptor missiles and 125 long-range artillery rockets, likely GMLRS or ATACMS. Although the weapons are owned by Germany, U.S. arms export laws required Washington’s approval before the transfer could proceed. This move reflects ongoing support for Ukraine under a 2024 Biden-era policy change that loosened restrictions on transferring Category I missile systems under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). The shipment significantly boosts Ukraine’s air and ground strike capabilities, adding to its supply of U.S.-made weapons amid renewed Russian offensives. The advanced Patriot missiles will help shield key infrastructure from missile and drone attacks, while the long-range rockets—some capable of hitting targets up to 186 miles away—enable deeper precision strikes on Russian logistics and command hubs. This transfer, coupled with a May 3 approval of $310.5 million in F-16 support services, signals a strategic shift in Western backing as Ukraine pushes to hold the line and reclaim occupied territory.
