More than $1 billion worth of weapons the U.S. has sent to Ukraine have not been properly tracked and remain "delinquent," per DoD.
A recent report from the Defense Department Inspector General reveals that the Pentagon has not been effectively monitoring $1 billion worth of missiles and other weapons provided to Ukraine for defense against Russian forces. This lack of oversight is part of a recurring issue, as the Department of Defense has previously lost track of weaponry sent to countries like Iraq, Kuwait, and Yemen. The report highlights that more than $1 billion worth of the $1.69 billion in weapons sent to Ukraine, including attack drones, night-vision devices, and Javelin anti-tank missiles, is considered "delinquent."
The Pentagon did not maintain an accurate inventory and did not fully comply with requirements for "enhanced end-use monitoring" of the weapons.
While the report doesn't determine if there has been diversion or theft, it emphasizes the risk associated with high rates of delinquency. The Pentagon press secretary, Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, stated that there is currently no credible evidence of illicit diversion of US-provided weapons from Ukraine.
