Is this the weaponry that the US are giving to the Ukraine?

  Yes - part of the $300 lethal aid package. "Lethal Aid".. hmmm https://anti-empire.com/us-is-transferring-large-suicide-drones-to-ukraine-to-kill-russians/ https://anti-empire.com/us-is-transferring-large-suicide-dro...

  Not exactly. Ukraine already has S-300s, and Slovakia is supposedly sending (or already sent) more: https://www.defensenews.com/pentagon/2022/03/30/will-slovakia-send-ukraine-s-300-air-defenses-the-pentagon-is-working-on-it/ https://www.defensenews.com/pentagon/2022/03/30/will-slovaki... The US does not have any, as far as I know.

    The CIA actually did "acquire" some in the late Cold War which were recently revealed to have been shipped over to Poland for 'unspecified' purposes.

      A lot of Eastern European countries should still have large stockpiles of old Soviet military gear. Including Germany, which inherited the entirety of East Germany's armed forces, including top notch MiGs (not the watered down export versions other countries where using). Some of those stockpiles are provided to Ukraine, including ex. DDR APCs (didn't know Germany still had those, I supposed they have been scraped a long time ago...). Which makes sense, those Soviet weapon systems are much easier to use for Ukraine than NATO gear.
