11 Soviet-era Mi-17 helicopters that the US had planned to provide to Afghanistan before Biden decided to withdraw entirely from the country last year will be part of the package. These are transport helicopters with the capability of being converted to attack helicopters. Previously, the Pentagon had sent five Mi-17s to Ukraine.
