Russian Ops in Ukraine Update (August 27, 2022) – Latest US Military Aid Package “Biggest” Yet | The New Atlas (Video)

Summary:

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for August 27, 2022

US to send air defense systems, VAMPIRE laser-guided rockets, Puma UAS and parts for (not additional drones) ScanEagle drones… many of these systems will not reach Ukraine for months if not years.
