https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stori ... od-to-all/Also, the White House announced it had directed the DOD to allocate all remaining security assistance funding appropriated for Ukraine by the end of the year.
"As part of this effort, the Department of Defense will allocate the remaining Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funds by the end of this year," President Biden said in a statement yesterday. "I also have authorized $5.5 billion in presidential drawdown authority to ensure this authority does not expire so that my administration can fully utilize the funding appropriated by Congress to support the drawdown of U.S. equipment for Ukraine and then replenish U.S. stockpiles."
The White House also said the DOD will provide $2.4 billion in security assistance through USAI. That additional support through USAI will provide Ukraine with additional air defense, unmanned aerial systems and air-to-ground munitions.
To enhance air defense, Biden said, he has directed the DOD to refurbish and provide Ukraine with an additional Patriot air defense battery and additional Patriot missiles. The president also said he has agreed to provide Ukraine with the Joint Standoff Weapon long-range munition.
While the U.S. has not agreed to give Ukraine F-16 fighter aircraft, other nations have. The U.S. has assisted by providing training on the F-16 to Ukrainian pilots. The president said he has directed the DOD to expand that training, including by supporting the training of an additional 18 pilots next year.

https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Docu ... c_2014.pdfThe common JSOW variant nomenclature is JSOW-A (Baseline), JSOW-A-1, JSOW-B (BLU
-108), JSOW-C (Unitary), and JSOW-C-1 (Network Enabled Weapon Moving Maritime Target Capability).
The JSOW program developed a Baseline weapon for use against fixed, area targets. The JSOW Baseline variant includes a kinematically efficient airframe and integrated Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System capability, and a BLU-97/B submunition payload.
The JSOW-A-1 configuration carries a BLU-111 warhead and is being marketed by Raytheon to FMS customers.
The JSOW-B variant incorporates the Sensor Fuzed Weapon submunition (BLU-108) into the baseline vehicle. The JSOW-B variant provides a standoff delivery capability against massed armor and land combat vehicles.
JSOW-C and C-1 variants both use the Unitary lethal package, termed Bomb Royal Ordnance Augmented Charge (BROACH), which is produced by BAE Systems. The BROACH incorporates an advanced multi-stage warhead, which allows the warfighter to attack blast/frag sensitive and hardened point targets. JSOW-C uses an Imaging Infrared (IIR) seeker with embedded Autonomous Targeting Acquisition software, increasing accuracy and lethality. The IIR affords the mission planner precise aimpoint selection and target discrimination. An anti-tamper/anti-spoofing capability was inserted in the guidance electronics unit with FY 2006 production. The JSOW-C-1 adds a weapon data link and seeker upgrade to attack moving maritime targets in addition to the JSOW-C stationary land target mission set.
