Poland's F-16 fleet, spare and repair parts, support and test 
equipment, publications and technical documentation, system overhauls 
and upgrades, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. 
Government and contractor technical support, and other related elements 
of program support. The estimated total cost was $447 million. Major 
Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $219 million of this total.
    On April 9, 2019, Congress was notified by Congressional 
certification transmittal number 19-0F, of an additional twenty-seven 
(27) AIM-9X-2 Sidewinder Block II Tactical Missiles and eighteen (18) 
AIM-9X-2 Captive Air Training Missiles (CATM). This notification also

CATM Guidance Units. These changes increased the MDE value by $35 
million, for a revised MDE value of $254 million. The total case value 
increased to $482 million.
    This transmittal notifies the addition of the following MDE items: 
seven (7) F-16 F-100-PW-229 engines. The following non-MDE items are

increase to $568 million.
    (iv) Significance: The proposed sale will address Poland's urgent

readiness of its F-16 fleet. Continued and uninterrupted operation of 
their F-16 fleet enables Poland to deter current and future threats and 
further NATO interoperability targets.
    (v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign 
policy and national security of the United States by improving the 
security of a NATO ally and partner nation, which is an important force 
for peace, political stability, and economic progress in Eastern 
Europe.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Sensitivity of Technology 
Statement contained in the original notification applies to additional 
items reported here.
    (vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: November 21, 2022.
