Not shown in the charts, is that a very large percentage of the aid has been in arms that are obsolete or practically used up, and the actual money being spent is on new replacements to go into US inventory. In some cases, the US would have to pay for disposal, and this actually saves money. This is not to say that this equipment is not useful for Ukraine, but describing this as money sent to Ukraine is not quite right.
Example: some 4000 zuni missiles were transferred to Ukraine
