    This $44m allocation is from the June 2023 pledge, and is for “spare parts, weapons stations, avionics, and ammunition”. Oh, there’s also part of that 2023 package that provides training to pilots, valued at fifteen million dollars, can I get an Amen!

    It’s better than what the USA is doing, but it’s still just re-announcing support that was pledged 7 months ago.
