services to support sustainment of its Patriot air defense systems. The
following non-MDE items will be included: classified and unclassified

assistance; training; engineering and logistics support services;
classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation;
classified software; and other related elements of logistics and
program support. The estimated total program cost is $179.1 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy 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 ability 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 RTX Corporation, located in
Arlington, VA; and Lockheed Martin, located in Bethesda, MD. 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 require approximately
five U.S. Government and fifteen contractor representatives to travel
to the United States European Command to support training and periodic
meetings.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
