Guess we’ll have to ship more weapons systems to Ukraine to make up the difference.

Thats great. it means that we can give the UA more weaponry under existing authorities. More HIMARS?

Basically the mistake comes from charging the price of new equipment not accounting for devaluation since most of it is used and quite old, a lot of it at the end of shelf life and would actually cost to dispose of it.

Worth noting that this is somewhat intentional – DoD is limited in what it can send to Ukraine by congressional limits, so they need to find ways to devalue previous contributions in order to send more in the future. A little creative accounting and “poof”, another patriot system!
