**Ukraine—F-16 Sustainment Services**
The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS); AN/PYQ-10 Simple Key Loaders (SKL); minor modifications and maintenance support; engine Component Improvement Program (CIP); spare and repair parts, consumables, and accessories; repair and return support; weapons software, weapons software support equipment, and classified and unclassified software and delivery support; classified and unclassified publications and documentation; personnel training and training equipment; studies and surveys; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $266.4 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a partner country that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.
This proposed sale will improve Ukraine's capability to meet current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defense and regional security missions with a more robust air defense capability. Ukraine will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be Sabena, located in Charleroi, Belgium; Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, located in Fort Worth, TX; and Pratt and Whitney, located in East Hartford, CT. The U.S. Government is not aware of any proposed offset agreements in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Ukraine.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
