The Pentagon has revalued the cost of arms, ammunition, and vehicles sent to Ukraine to find an additional $6.2 billion for the war effort, doubling the $3 billion sum it thought it could come up with in May.
Initially, weapons and munitions donated from American stocks had been valued in terms of their replacement cost, but revaluing them in terms of their purchase cost instead has reduced their worth substantially.
The accounting trick is not being used to save American taxpayers money: “It’s just going to go back into the pot of money that we have allocated for the future Pentagon stock drawdowns,” confirmed Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh.
Ukrainian forces have suffered “heavy losses” after launching a counter-offensive that has made only minimal gains, and reports indicate a large portion of their U.S.-made Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs), for example, have been destroyed. The additional $6.2 billion the Pentagon has discovered will allow some of their losses to be replaced without increasing the a
mount of money American taxpayers have spent on the war, at least on paper.
