“The US is considering sending medium-range missiles to Ukraine for the new F-16 fleet as part of a $375 million military aid package expected to be announced on Monday,” the newspaper writes.

The Joint Standoff Weapon, used by the US Air Force and Navy, is said to be able to hit targets at a distance of more than 70 miles (112 km).

“A range of more than 70 miles will allow pilots to stay away from the front line and Russian air defenses, which will give Kyiv a new way to target front-line weapons depots, making operations more difficult for Russian forces,” the publication notes.

Reuters reported that the military aid package includes patrol boats, additional munitions for high-mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS), 155- and 105-millimeter artillery ammunition, spare parts and other weapons.

The content and size of the package may change in the coming days before US President Joe Biden’s expected signature.
