POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Ukraine--F-16 Training and Sustainment
The Government of Ukraine requests to buy equipment and services in
support of its F-16 aircraft. The following non-MDE items will be
included: aircraft modifications and upgrades; personnel training
related to operation, maintenance, and sustainment support; spare
parts, consumables and accessories, and repair and return support;
ground handling equipment; classified and unclassified software
delivery and support; classified and unclassified publications and
technical documentation; 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 $310.5 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.
The proposed sale will improve Ukraine's capability to meet current
and future threats by ensuring its pilots are effectively trained and
by increasing its interoperability with the U.S. through comprehensive
training with the U.S. Air Force. This proposed sale aligns with
international coalition contributions for the establishment of
Ukraine's F-16 program and the overall modernization of Ukraine's air
force. 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 Valiant Integrated Services,
located in Herndon, VA; Top Aces Corporation, located in Mesa, AZ;
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, located in Fort Worth, TX; Pratt and
Whitney, located in East Hartford, CT; Snap-on, Inc., located in
Kenosha, WI; BAE Systems, Inc., located in Falls Church, VA; AAR
Corporation, located in Wood Dale, IL; and Comsetra, LLC, located in
Grove, OK. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset
agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset
agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the
contractor.
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.
