Russian forces have launched wave after wave of missiles and suicide drones against the capital of Kyiv and other major cities. Ukrainian forces have become adept at shooting down such attacks, however, thanks largely to the supply of air defense systems from the U.S. and other Western countries. As a result, Ukrainian investigators have increasingly found instances of Russia dropping older bombs, some around 1,100 pounds. The low-tech explosives easily circumvent modern air defenses like the U.S.-made Patriot missile systems that are designed toRussia's bombs, resurrected from Cold War-era ordnance stashes, have two major advantages over missiles in that they have no propulsion system for air defenses to track, and they remain airborne for barely a minute.

Biden argues the move is necessary due to the dwindling supply of traditional 155 millimeter ammunition.
