Research by Econ4UA found that the real value of US military aid to Ukraine in 2022-2024 was $21 billion—a fraction of the official figure of $67 billion. This is partly because the DoD didn’t account for the depreciation of old weapons from stockpiles, like the Stryker APC.

We estimate total value at $50.9B: $18.3B military + $32.6B budget support. Value of military aid is limited by old vintage—we track DoD procurement, weapon age & depreciation.
