Of the total funds, approximately $470m will be allocated to advanced short-range air defence resources, including gun and missile systems, interceptors, sensors, electronic warfare equipment and command-and-control systems.
Jonson stated these are “designed to protect critical infrastructure and civilian population centres.”
A further $330m will be directed towards supplying long-range artillery shells, 40-millimetre air defence rounds and 120-millimetre mortar ammunition, as well as providing training and maintenance.
In addition to ammunition and air defence, Sweden will also deliver spare parts, conduct repairs and replace equipment previously supplied to Ukraine.
