U.S. failed to track weapons sent to Ukraine - Reuters | 4 Feb 2025 | U.S. officials could not tell whether tens of billions of dollars of weapons sent to Ukraine were actually delivered due to tracking systems failures, Reuters reported on Monday, citing sources. During the final year of Joe Biden's regime, key weapons shipments to Ukraine faced prolonged delays due to concerns about depleting U.S. stockpiles and debates over whether the arms would trigger an escalation with Russia. According to a Reuters investigation, the Pentagon's "chaotic weapons-tracking system in which even the definition of 'delivered' differed among US military branches," was a significant contributor to the overall confusion. The system failure "skewed" Pentagon data, making it almost impossible to accurately pinpoint weapons in the shipping process, Reuters said, citing reports by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
