which means they explode on impact, have antiarmor warhead that can go after hardened targets as well as softer targets like the radar pieces there, controlled individually and also can go in and distinguish between a friendly target as well as an unfriendly target so that s the key element there with these drones. finally, for mobility purposes and for gunshot purposes they can use helicopters, this is primarily a transport helicopter, an mi-17 but this would be the type of weapon system that would be very useful for the ukrainians at the present time. colonel, thank you so much, appreciate it. weapons are only part of the equation here. what else does ukraine need to push back putin s forces? we don t know how the rest of this war will unfold but we do know a sovereign independent ukraine will be around a lot longer than vladimir putin s on the scene.

world they have rockets. already knew to have rockets. seems to be an act of desperation. according to the treaty this administration left in place they have got to tell us ahead of time that they did that they were launching it the u.s. ironic. evidently in 2010. we purchased mi-17 helicopters from russia to put into afghanistan because the afghanistan government wanted them and we thought these helicopters are perfect for this region. they seem to do better in afghanistan than ones we have. even though there was some tongues about buying from russia and giving to afghanistan. they did it anyway. but we never delivered them. guess who is getting them now? ainsley: ukraine. brian brian who knows how to work them because it has the russian technology that s great. also, congratulations to spain and denmark. you sent your prime ministers to go see president zelenskyy yesterday. i hope we are to do that again soon. one thing really getting under vladimir putin s skin finland and sweden
russia in eastern ukraine is coming. with that shift and escalation, ukraine s needs for weapons are changing and growing. this week, the biden administration announced a weapons package worth $800 million, with new and more sophisticated systems. some of them are reinforcing capabilities that we have already been providing ukraine, and some of them are new capabilitys that we have not provided ukraine. reporter: among the bigger items are mi-17 helicopters, 11 of them, which the u.s. redirected from afghanistan to ukraine. small drones called switchblades, 300 of them, also called kamikaze killer drones, that can target russian soldiers and vehicles. and for the first time, how with it howitzers. the list goes on and includes coastal sea drones to defend
so, alex, there is no real military reason. as general kimmet could describe, for using these kind of weapons in ukraine. none. and bill burns is of course right that there are no no indications that the russians are seriously making plans to use these. that said, president zelenskyy is also right that you have to be prepare and you have to be ready for that kind of thing. and there are preparations certainly being made. but i think that bill burns is right, we ll know if they re going to be moving in that direction and so far we ve not seen that. general, we ve been talking a lot about this new weapons shipment, the biden administration touting that they ve sent or at least are sending more than $3 billion worth of weapons to ukraine. when you look at this package, which includes howitzers, mi-17 helicopters and switchblade drones and a quite a long list.
