For the first time, the United States agreed to give Kyiv such a powerful asset that a few weeks ago some Biden administration officials deemed the risk of escalation too great, including 11 Mi-17 helicopters; 18 155-mm howitzers and 300 other Switchblade drones.

It was previously known that Estonia sent military equipment to Ukraine. The equipment estonia sent is, anti-tank missiles, howitzers, anti-tank mines, recoilless anti-tank guns, automatic weapons, ammunition, disposable grenade launchers and hand grenades.

However, until now the Estonian government has not provided official information regarding the delivery of military equipment to Ukraine.
