Turkey has announced a major military aid package for Ukraine, including 70 ATACMS missiles, 2,500 M26 cluster rockets, 12 M270 multiple rocket launchers, and 47,000 203mm cluster artillery shells, according to a government statement.
The Turkish government confirmed plans to supply Ukraine with a substantial arsenal of American-made weaponry, including long-range ATACMS tactical missiles and cluster munitions. The announcement follows reports over the weekend that Turkey was preparing such a transfer. As The Zioneer reported on Aug 9, documents presented to the U.S. Congress indicated that Washington had granted approval for the re-export of the systems. The package is the latest sign of deepening military cooperation between Ankara and Kyiv, while Turkey also seeks to restore defense ties with Washington, including potential F-35 sales and jet engine deals that have been the subject of recent administration signals.
