Sorry, let me correct myself and elaborate:
The ~$15 billion assessment describes what Ukraine would realistically receive, both military and economic, in 2024.
Realistically HR 815 provides for:
Economic Aid to Ukraine: $8,249,000,000
Short Term Military Aid: $6,907,409,800
Long Term Military Aid (Not in 2024): $13,772,460,000
I have a spreadsheet which summarizes all of HR 815's financials, I sent it to you in PMs.
		
		
	 
Woland,
A couple points after looking at the spreadsheet you provided. Thank you for that by the way.
1. The $13,772,460,000 earmarked for USAI doesn't necessarily mean that none of that aid will arrive in 2024. All it means is that it's military aid being procured direct from U.S. industry, rather than from exisiting U.S. stockpiles. There are plenty of items that USA builds substantial quantities of each month that would arrive inside of 2024. For example, some of that money will be used to procure 155mm and 105mm artillery shells and 60mm, 81mm and 120mm mortar rounds direct from industry. Those shells will start being delivered within weeks / months of being ordered. Drones are another example. Many companies will need 2-3 months of lead time before they start delivering drones. Sure deliveries will extend into 2025, but they'll certainly begin in 2024. Javelin missiles, AT4s, Stinger missiles, APKWS, Patriot missiles, AIM-120 AMRAAMS, AIM-9M/X sidewinders, JDAMS, etc also fall into that category. Therefore, not all USAI procurement has long lead times for delivery.
2. Presidential Drawdown Authority is actually significantly higher than $6,907,409,800 because there is still $3.81 billion left from the last package. Therefore, the real total of PDA is actually $10,717,409,800. What the bill does is provide more money for restocking fees of U.S. inventory, to ensure that Ukraine can be given both the PDA money in the new bill, as well as the remaining $3.81 Billion from the previous bill. That's an important point, IMO.
3. A reasonable percentage of the money that is earmarked for the U.S. Army, Air Force and Marine Corps is to fund the continued training of Ukrainian military personnel. Some examples are pilot training underway in Arizona, Patriot training in Texas, Bradley and Stryker combined arms training in Germany and amphibious training for Ukrainian Marines in multiple locations. It's important to note that said funding does not come from USAI, PDA or the $1.6 Billion of "miscallenous" funding that can be used in flexible manner to help Ukraine where needed.
4. The $8,249,000,000 worth of macro economic aid is extremely vital because Ukraine would like to announce additional mobilization to replenish and expand their brigades, but they need adequate funding for it. An enormous percentage of that money will ensure that Ukraine will have enough funds to pay for an extra 200,000-250,000 personnel in 2024 and beyond, without further stressing their already fragile economy.
