POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Ukraine--Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles and Maintenance, Repair,
and Overhaul Capability
The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy equipment and
services for the refurbishment of Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles,
technical assistance, training, publications, and other related
elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is
$150 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and
national security objectives of the United States (U.S) by improving
the ability of Ukraine to provide for its own defense.
The proposed sale will improve Ukraine's ability to meet current
and future threats by further equipping it to
[[Page 11059]]
conduct self-defense and regional security missions. Ukraine has an
urgent need to strengthen local sustainment capabilities to maintain
high operational rates for U.S. provided vehicles and weapon systems.
Improved maintenance, repair, and overhaul capability will directly
contribute to battlefield effectiveness through a more resilient and
rapid repair cycle that will increase overall operational rates with
reduced logistics and financial burdens. 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 BAE Systems, Cummins Inc.,
Leonardo DRS Inc., and Renk Group AG, with all work occurring in
Europe. 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.
