Last week, the US announced its most extensive Ukraine aid package, worth $3.75 billion. The Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) and the Sea Sparrow anti-air missiles inadvertently hogged the limelight.
The military package also included the Cold War-era Zuni rockets that the Pentagon had earmarked for Ukraine. According to the details published by the US Department of Defense (DoD), over 4,000 127mm air-to-surface Zuni rockets are being sent to Ukraine.
The Zuni rocket was developed in the 50s by China Lake engineers. With 85% of the Navy’s total area used for weapon and armaments research, development, acquisition, testing, and evaluation, China Lake is the largest single landholding in the US Navy. It hosts more than 2,000 engineers working on developing and evaluating new munition. @TheEurAsianTimes
