The US State Department approved a military sale of Ukraine in the amount of about $ 825 million, which includes “air delivery ammunition” and the related logistics means of support.
the US Department of Defense Cooperation (DSCA) made a written statement on this decision.
it is noted that Ukraine requested 3 350 350 Figure ERAM missiles, as well as equipment compatible with these systems, including global positioning products (GPS). It is indicated that an official notification is sent to complete the transaction to the US Congress.
the transaction also provides for the supply of containers for missiles, spare parts, auxiliary equipment, software, technical documentation, as well as training and logistics materials.
it emphasizes that this sale “will not change the main military balance in the region.” “Эта продажа будет способствовать внешнеполитическим и национальным интересам США, усилив безопасность союзника, являющегося гарантией политической стабильности и экономического прогресса в Европе”, – говорится в заявлении.
Указывается, что закупка Украиной вооружений будет осуществлена в рамках программы Иностранного военного финансирования (FMF) США при поддержке финансирования со стороны Дании, Нидерландов и Norway.
The completion of the transaction requires the final approval of the US Congress.
