Okay here is the direct quote from Austin: "We know that Ukraine still needs even more long range fires *pause* in/and air defense systems and artillery systems, along with other crucial capabilities." I added the pause, because there was a long pause, intentional or not. I'm not sure if his next word was "in" or "and", since both could lead to different interpretations. Anyways, this leaves it somewhat open and vague, and maybe this is intentional. It seems the US has always announced what systems it is sending, but they do not always specify the ammunition they send.
